Important Safety Instructions for All
Battery Chargers

WARNING:
instructions, and cautionary markings for the
battery pack, charger and product. Failure to
follow the warnings and instructions may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
• DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack with
any chargers other than a BLACK+DECKER charger.
BLACK+DECKER chargers and battery packs are specifically
designed to work together.
These chargers are not intended for any uses other
•
than charging BLACK+DECKER rechargeable battery
packs. Charging other types of battery packs may cause
them to overheat and burst, resulting in personal injury,
property damage, fire, electric shock or electrocution.
Do not expose the charger to rain or snow.
•
Do not allow water or any liquid to enter charger.
•
Pull by the plug rather than the cord when
•
disconnecting the charger. This will reduce the risk of
damage to the electric plug and cord.
Make sure that the cord is located so that it will not
•
be stepped on, tripped over or otherwise subjected to
damage or stress.
• Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely
necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result in
risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
When operating a charger outdoors, always provide
•
a dry location and use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces
the risk of electric shock.
An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG
or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller the gauge
number of the wire, the heavier the cord and thus the greater its
capacity. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. The following table
shows the correct size to use depending on total length of all
extension cords plugged together, and nameplate ampere
rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.

• Do not place any object on top of the charger. Place
the charger in a position away from any heat source.
Do not operate the charger with a damaged cord

or plug–have them replaced immediately.

Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp
•
blow, been dropped or otherwise damaged in any
way. Take it to an authorized service center.
Do not disassemble the charger; take it to an
•
authorized service center when service or repair is
required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric
shock, electrocution or fire.
The charger is designed to operate on standard
•
household electrical power. Do not attempt to use
it on any other voltage. This does not apply to the
vehicular charger.
Foreign materials of a conductive nature, such as, but
•
not limited to, grinding dust, metal chips, steel wool,
aluminum foil or any buildup of metallic particles
should be kept away from the charger cavities.
Always unplug the charger from the power supply
•
when there is no battery pack in the cavity.
Charging a Battery (Fig. B, D, E, F)
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet.
2. Insert and fully seat battery pack. Green charging light
will continuously blink while charging.
3. Charging is complete when the green light remains
continuously ON. Battery pack can be left in charger
or removed.

WARNING:
temperature over 40 ° F (4.5 ° C) and below 105 ° F
(+40.5 ° C).
4. Charger will not charge a faulty battery pack, which may
be indicated by the light staying OFF or the red light
rapidly blinking. Take charger and battery pack to an
authorized service center if light stays OFF or red light
rapidly blinks.
NoTE: Refer to label near charging light on charger for
blink patterns.
hot/Cold pack Delay
When the charger detects a battery pack that is too hot
or too cold, it automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack Delay,
suspending charging until the battery pack has reached an
appropriate temperature. The charger then automatically
switches to the pack charging mode. This feature ensures
maximum battery pack life.
30 - 50
A cold battery pack may charge at a slower rate than a warm

battery pack.
The hot/cold pack delay will be indicated by the red light
continuously flashing a short ON followed by a longer ON

Electronic Protection System

Li‑Ion tools are designed with an Electronic Protection
System that will protect the battery pack against overloading,
overheating or deep discharge. The tool will automatically
turn off and the battery pack will need to be recharged.
Only charge batteries in air
