NOTE: Do not store the battery packs in a tool with the trigger switch locked on. Never
tape the trigger switch in the ON position.
• Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is severely damaged or is completely worn
out. The battery pack can explode in a fire. Toxic fumes and materials are created when lithium
ion battery packs are burned.
If battery contents come into contact with the skin, immediately wash area with mild
•
soap and water. If battery liquid gets into the eye, rinse water over the open eye for 15 minutes
or until irritation ceases. 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 persist, seek medical attention.

WARNING: Burn hazard. Battery liquid may be flammable if exposed to spark or flame.

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.
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 fires 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 shipping.
e
Use Mode: When the FLEXVOLT™ battery stands alone or is in a D
will operate as a 20V 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".
Example of Use and Shipping Label Marking
USE: 120 Wh Shipping: 3 x 40 Wh
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).
Fuel Gauge Battery Packs (Fig. B)
Some D WALT battery packs include a fuel gauge which consists of three green LED lights that
e
indicate the level of charge remaining in the battery pack.
The fuel gauge is an indication of approximate levels of charge remaining in the battery pack
according to the following indicators:
To actuate the fuel gauge, press and hold the fuel gauge button. A combination of the three
green LED lights will illuminate designating the level of charge left. When the level of charge in
the battery is below the usable limit, the fuel gauge will not illuminate and the battery will need
to be recharged.
