READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL
BATTERY PACKS

WARNING: Read all safety warnings, 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 charge or use the battery pack in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Inserting or removing the battery pack from the charger may ignite the dust or fumes.
• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws, or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting
the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
• NEVER force the battery pack into the charger. DO NOT modify the battery pack in any way to fit into a
non‑compatible charger as battery pack may rupture causing serious personal injury. Consult the chart at
the end of this manual for compatibility of batteries and chargers.
• Charge the battery packs only in D WALT chargers.
e
• DO NOT splash or immerse in water or other liquids.
• Do not store or use the tool and battery pack in locations where the temperature may reach or exceed
104 °F (40 °C) (such as outside sheds or metal buildings in summer). For best life store battery packs in a cool,

dry location.
NOTE: Do not store the battery packs in a tool with the trigger switch locked on. Never tape the trigger
switch in the ON position.
• Do not expose battery pack or tool/appliance to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or
temperature above 265 °F (130 °C) may cause explosion.
• Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is severely damaged or is completely worn out. The battery
pack can explode in a fire. Toxic fumes and materials are created when lithium‑ion battery packs are burned.
• If battery contents come into contact with the skin, immediately wash area with mild soap and water.
If battery liquid gets into the eye, rinse water over the open eye for 15 minutes or until irritation ceases. If medical
attention is needed, the battery electrolyte is composed of a mixture of liquid organic carbonates and lithium salts.
• Contents of opened battery cells may cause respiratory irritation. Provide fresh air. If symptoms persist, seek
medical attention.

WARNING: Burn hazard. Battery liquid may be flammable if exposed to spark or flame.

WARNING: Fire hazard. Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the battery pack case is
cracked or damaged, do not insert into the charger. Do not crush, drop or damage the battery pack. Do not use
a battery pack or charger that has received a sharp blow, been dropped, run over or damaged in any way (e.g.,
pierced with a nail, hit with a hammer, stepped on). Damaged battery packs should be returned to the service
center for recycling.
STORAGE RECOMMENDATIONS
1. The best storage place is one that is cool and dry, away from direct sunlight and excess heat or cold.
2. For long storage, it is recommended to store a fully charged battery pack in a cool dry place out of the charger
for optimal results.
NOTE: Battery packs should not be stored completely depleted of charge. The battery pack will need to be
recharged before use.
BATTERY PACK CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Dirt and grease may be removed from the exterior of the battery using a cloth or soft non-metallic brush. Do not
use water or any cleaning solutions.
FUEL GAUGE BATTERY PACKS
Some D WALT battery packs include a fuel gauge which consists of three green LED lights that indicate the level of
e
charge remaining in the battery pack.
The fuel gauge is an indication of approximate levels of charge remaining in the battery pack according to the
following indicators:
To actuate the fuel gauge, press and hold the fuel gauge button. 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.
TRANSPORTATION

WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not store or carry the battery pack so that metal objects can contact
exposed battery terminals. For example, do not place the battery pack in aprons, pockets, tool boxes, product
kit boxes, drawers, etc., with loose nails, screws, keys, etc. Transporting batteries can possibly cause fires if
the battery terminals inadvertently come in contact with conductive materials such as keys, coins,
hand tools and the like. The US Department of Transportation Hazardous Material Regulations (HMR) actually
prohibit transporting batteries in commerce or on airplanes in carry‑on baggage UNLESS they are properly
protected from short circuits. So when transporting individual battery packs, make sure that the battery terminals
are protected and well insulated from materials that could contact them and cause a short circuit. NOTE: Li‑ion
batteries should not be put in checked baggage.
SHIPPING THE DEWALT FLEXVOLT™ BATTERY
The D WALT FLEXVOLT™ battery has two modes: Use and Shipping.
e
Use Mode: When the FLEXVOLT™ battery stands alone or is in a D
Max* battery. When the FLEXVOLT™ battery is in a 60V Max* or a 120V Max* (two 60V Max* batteries) product, it
will operate as a 60V Max* battery.
Shipping Mode: When the cap is attached to the FLEXVOLT™ battery, the battery is in Shipping Mode. Strings of
cells are electrically disconnected within the pack resulting in three batteries with a lower Watt hour (Wh) rating as
compared to one battery with a higher Watt hour rating. This increased quantity of three batteries with the lower
Watt hour rating can exempt the pack from certain shipping regulations that are imposed upon the higher Watt
hour batteries.
The battery label indicates two Watt hour ratings (see example). Depending on how the battery is shipped, the
appropriate Watt hour rating must be used to determine the applicable shipping requirements. If utilizing the
shipping cap, the pack will be considered 3 batteries at the Watt hour rating indicated for "Shipping". If shipping
without the cap or in a tool, the pack will be considered one battery at the Watt hour rating indicated next to "Use".
Example of Use and Shipping Label Marking
USE: 120 Wh Shipping: 3 x 40 Wh
For example, Shipping Wh rating might indicate 3 x 40 Wh, meaning 3 batteries of 40 Watt hours each. The Use
Wh rating might indicate 120 Wh (1 battery implied).
THE RBRC® SEAL
The RBRC® (Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation) Seal on the nickel cadmium, nickel metal
hydride or lithium-ion batteries (or battery packs) indicates that the costs to recycle these batteries
(or battery packs) at the end of their useful life have already been paid by D
it is illegal to place spent nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride or lithium-ion batteries in the trash or municipal
solid waste stream and the Call 2 Recycle® program provides an environmentally conscious alternative.
Call 2 Recycle, Inc., in cooperation with D WALT and other battery users, has established the program in the
e
United States and Canada to facilitate the collection of spent nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride or lithium-ion
batteries. Help protect our environment and conserve natural resources by returning the spent nickel cadmium,
nickel metal hydride or lithium-ion batteries to an authorized D
recycling. You may also contact your local recycling center for information on where to drop off the spent battery.
