Charging Process; Important Safety Instructions For All Battery Packs - DeWalt DCS320 Manual

• Disconnect the charger from the outlet
before attempting any cleaning. This will
reduce the risk of electric shock. Removing
the battery pack will not reduce this risk.
• NEVER attempt to connect 2 chargers together.
• The charger is designed to operate on
standard 230 V household electrical power.
Do not attempt to use it on any other
voltage. This does not apply to the vehicular
charger.

Chargers
The DCB105, DCB107 and DCB112 chargers
accept 10.8 V, 14.4 V and 18 V XR Li-Ion (DCB123,
DCB125, DCB127, DCB140, DCB141, DCB142,
DCB143, DCB144, DCB145, DCB180, DCB181,
DCB182, DCB183, DCB184 and DCB185) battery
packs.
These chargers require no adjustment and are
designed to be as easy as possible to operate.
Charging Procedure (fi g. 2)
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet
before inserting battery pack.
2. Insert the battery pack (f) into the charger,
making sure the pack is fully seated in the
charger. The red (charging) light will blink
continuously indicating that the charging
process has started.
3. The completion of charge will be indicated by
the red light remaining ON continuously. The
pack is fully charged and may be used at this
time or left in the charger.
NOTE: To ensure maximum performance and life of
Li-Ion batteries, charge the battery pack fully before
first use.

Charging Process

Refer to the table below for the charge status of the
battery pack.

* DCB107, DCB112: The red light will continue
to blink, but a yellow indicator light will be
illuminated during this operation. Once the
battery has reached an appropriate temperature,
the yellow light will turn off and the charger will
resume the charging procedure.
The compatible charger(s) will not charge a faulty
battery pack. The charger will indicate faulty battery
by refusing to light or by displaying problem pack or
charger blink pattern.
NOTE: This could also mean a problem with a
charger.
If the charger indicates a problem, take the charger
and battery pack to be tested at an authorised
service centre.
HOT/COLD PACK DELAY
When the charger detects a battery that is too hot
or too cold, it automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack
Delay, suspending charging until the battery has
reached an appropriate temperature. The charger
then automatically switches to the pack charging
mode. This feature ensures maximum battery life.
A cold battery pack will charge at about half the rate
of a warm battery pack. The battery pack will charge
at that slower rate throughout the entire charging
cycle and will not return to maximum charge rate
even if the battery warms.
LITHIUM ION BATTERY PACKS ONLY
XR Li-Ion tools are designed with an Electronic
Protection System that will protect the battery
against overloading, overheating or deep discharge.
The tool will automatically turn off if the Electronic
Protection System engages. If this occurs, place the
Li-Ion battery on the charger until it is fully charged.
Important Safety Instructions for All
Battery Packs
When ordering replacement battery packs, be sure
to include the catalog number and voltage.
The battery pack is not fully charged out of the
carton. Before using the battery pack and charger,
read the safety instructions below and then follow
the charging procedures outlined.
