DeWalt XR LI-ION DCD708 Manual page 15

shipped as fully regulated Class 9. All lithium‑ ion
batteries have the Watt Hour rating marked on the pack.
Furthermore, due to regulation complexities, D
does not recommend air shipping lithium‑ ion battery
packs alone regardless of Watt Hour rating. Shipments of
tools with batteries (combo kits) can be air shipped as
excepted if the Watt Hour rating of the battery pack is no
greater than 100 Wh.
Regardless of whether a shipment is considered
excepted or fully regulated, it is the shipper's
responsibility to consult the latest regulations for
packaging, labeling/marking and documentation
requirements.
The information provided in this section of the manual is
provided in good faith and believed to be accurate at the
time the document was created. However, no warranty,
expressed or implied, is given. It is the buyer's
responsibility to ensure that its activities comply with the
applicable regulations.
Transporting the FlEXVOlT
The D WALT FLEXVOLT battery has two modes:
TM
e
Use and Transport.
Use Mode: When the FLEXVOLT
or is in a D WALT 18V product, it will operate as an 18V
e
battery. When the FLEXVOLT
108V (two 54V batteries) product, it will operate as a
54V battery.
Transport Mode: When the cap is attached to the
FLEXVOLT battery, the battery is in Transport mode.
Keep the cap for shipping.
When in Transport mode, strings of cells are electrically
disconnected within the pack resulting in 3 batteries
with a lower Watt hour (Wh) rating as compared to 1
battery with a higher Watt hour rating. This increased
quantity of 3 batteries with the lower Watt hour rating
can exempt the pack from certain shipping regulations
that are imposed upon the higher Watt hour batteries.
For example, the Transport
Wh rating might indicate 3 x 36
Wh, meaning 3 batteries of 36
Wh each. The Use Wh rating
might indicate 108 Wh (1
battery implied).
Storage Recommendations
1. The best storage place is one that is cool and dry away
from direct sunlight and excess heat or cold. For
