If medical attention is needed, the battery electrolyte is composed of a mixture of liquid organic carbonates
and lithium salts.
• Contents of opened battery cells may cause respiratory irritation. Provide fresh air. If symptoms persists,
seek medical attention.
WARNING: Burn hazard. Battery liquid may be fl ammable if exposed to spark or fl ame.
WARNING: Fire hazard. Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the battery pack
case is cracked or damaged, do not insert into the charger. Do not crush, drop or damage the battery
pack. Do not use a battery pack or charger that has received a sharp blow, been dropped, run over or
damaged in any way (e.g., pierced with a nail, hit with a hammer, stepped on). Damaged battery packs
should be returned to the service center for recycling.
1.3.2 TRANSPORTATION
WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not store or carry the battery pack so that metal objects can contact
exposed battery terminals. For example, do not place the battery pack in aprons, pockets, tool boxes,
product kit boxes, drawers, etc., with loose nails, screws, keys, etc. Transporting batteries can possibly
cause fi res if the battery terminals inadvertently come in contact with conductive materials
such as keys, coins, hand tools and the like.
The US Department of Transportation Hazardous Material Regulations (HMR) actually prohibit
transporting batteries in commerce or on airplanes in carry-on baggage UNLESS they are properly
protected from short circuits. So when transporting individual battery packs, make sure that the battery
terminals are protected and well insulated from materials that could contact them and cause a short
circuit.
SHIPPING THE D WALT FLEXVOLT™ BATTERY
E
The D WALT FLEXVOLT™ battery has two modes: Use and
E
Shipping.
Use Mode: When the FLEXVOLT™ battery stands alone or
is in a D WALT 20V Max* product, it will operate as a 20V
E
Max* battery. When the FLEXVOLT™ battery is in a 60V
Max* or a 120V Max* (two 60V Max* batteries) product, it
will operate as a 60V Max* battery.
Shipping Mode: When the cap is attached to the FLEXVOLT™ battery, the battery is in Shipping Mode. Strings
of cells are electrically disconnected within the pack resulting in three batteries with a lower Watt hour (Wh)
rating as compared to one battery with a higher Watt hour rating. This increased quantity of three batteries
with the lower Watt hour rating can exempt the pack from certain shipping regulations that are imposed upon
the higher Watt hour batteries.
The battery label indicates two Watt hour ratings (see example). Depending on how the battery is shipped,
the appropriate Watt hour rating must be used to determine the applicable shipping requirements. If utilizing
the shipping cap, the pack will be considered 3 batteries at the Watt hour rating indicated for "Shipping". If
shipping without the cap or in a tool, the pack will be considered one battery at the Watt hour rating indicated
next to "Use".
For example, Shipping Wh rating might indicate 3 x 40 Wh, meaning 3 batteries of 40 Watt hours each. The Use
Wh rating might indicate 120 Wh (1 battery implied).
1.3.3 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL BATTERY CHARGERS
• DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack with any chargers other than the ones in this manual. The
charger and battery pack are specifi cally designed to work together.
