charged.
The completion of charge is indicated by the green LED
remaining on continuously. The pack is fully charged and may
be used at this time or left in the charger
Warning! Recharge discharged batteries as soon as possible
after use or battery life may be greatly diminished.
Charger diagnostics
This charger is designed to detect certain problems that can
arise with the battery packs or the power source. Problems
are indicated by one LED flashing in different patterns.
Bad Battery
The charger can detect a weak or damaged battery. The red
LED flashes in the pattern indicated on the label. If you see
this bad battery blink pattern, do not continue to charge the
battery. Return it to a service centre or a collection site for
recycling
hot/Cold Pack Delay
When the charger detects a battery that is excessively hot or
excessively cold, it automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack delay,
suspending charging until the battery has normalised. After
this happens, the charger automatically switches to the Pack
Charging mode. This feature ensures maximum battery life.
The red LED flashes in the pattern indicated on the label when
the Hot/Cold pack delay is detected.
leaving the battery in the charger
The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the
LED glowing indefinitely. The charger will keep the battery
pack fresh and fully charged.
important charging notes
♦
Longest life and best performance can be obtained if
the battery pack is charged when the air temperature is
between 65°F and 75°F (18°- 24 °C). DO NOT charge
the battery pack in an air temperature below +40°F
(+4.5°C), or above +105°F (+40.5°C). This is important
and will prevent serious damage to the battery pack.
♦
The charger and battery pack may become warm to
touch while charging. This is a normal condition, and
does not indicate a problem. To facilitate the cooling of
the battery pack after use, avoid placing the charger or
battery pack in a warm environment such as in a metal
shed, or an uninsulated trailer
♦
If the battery pack does not charge properly:
♦
Check current at receptacle by plugging in a lamp or
other appliance
♦
Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light
switch which turns power off when you turn out the
lights.
♦
Move charger and battery pack to a location where
the surrounding air temperature is approximately
65°F - 75°F (18°- 24°C).
♦
If charging problems persist, take the appliance,
battery pack and charger to your local service
center.
♦
The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to
produce sufficient power on jobs which were easily done
previously. DO NOT CONTINUE to use under these
conditions. Follow the charging procedure. You may also
charge a partially used pack whenever you desire with no
adverse affect on the battery pack.
♦
Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but
not limited to, steel wool, aluminium foil, or any buildup
of metallic particles should be kept away from charger
cavities. Always unplug the charger from the power
supply when there is no battery pack in the cavity. Unplug
charger before attempting to clean.
♦
Do not freeze or immerse charger in water or any other
liquid.
Warning! Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to get inside
charger. Never attempt to open the battery pack for any
reason. If the plastic housing of the battery pack breaks or
cracks, return to a service center for recycling.
