FUEL GAUGE BATTERY PACKS (FIG. 5)
Some D WALT battery packs include a
e
fuel gauge which consists of three
H I
green LED lights that indicate the level
of charge remaining in the battery pack.
To actuate the fuel gauge, press and
hold the fuel gauge button (5A). 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.
NOTE: The fuel gauge is only an indication of the charge left on the battery
pack. It does not indicate tool functionality and is subject to variation
based on product components, temperature and end-user application.
For more information regarding fuel gauge battery packs, please call
