Hitachi Charger, Model UC 18SD 2. MARKETING OBJECTIVE The Model UC 18SD is an inexpensive 18 V-only charger that has been developed to promote sales of our low- cost cordless tools. It is designed to charge the Hitachi type EB 1812S rechargeable battery.
Salespersons must be thoroughly familiar with the contents of the Handling Instructions in order to give pertinent advice to the customer. (1) Never charge Hitachi 7.2 V, 9.6 V, 12 V, 14.4 V and 24 V rechargeable batteries with the Model UC 18SD Charger: The UC 18SD is a charger to be used exclusively for the EB 1812S battery.
This condition is common to all existing chargers (both Hitachi's and competitor's models) which employ temperature sensitive devices to terminate charging. The cooling period required before charging varies from a few minutes to about 30 minutes, depending on the length of time the battery was used and the ambient temperature.
7. REFERENCE MATERIAL 7-1. Structure (1) The outer casing consists of Case (A) and Case (B). A light bar for the Pilot Lamp is built into Case (A). (2) Electronic components which provide rapid charging and prevent overcharging are mounted on the Printed Circuit Board.
8-2. Reassembly Reassembly can be accomplished by following the disassembly procedures in reverse. However, particular attention should be given to the following points. (1) Solder the lead wires of the Cord [10] after passing their stripped end portions through the holes of the Printed Circuit Board Ass'y [4] and bending them securely.
