Charging procedure
Black+decker chargers are designed to charge Black+decker
battery packs.
u
Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before inserting
the battery pack.
u
Insert the battery pack into the charger as shown in figure
A.
u
The green LED will flash indicating that the battery is be-
ing charged.
u
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 on the charger.
Note:
Recharge discharged batteries as soon as possible
after use or battery life may be greatly diminished. For longest
battery life, do not discharge batteries fully. It is recommended
that the batteries be recharged after each use.
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
u
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.
u
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.
u
If the battery pack does not charge properly:
u
Check current at receptacle by plugging in a lamp or
other appliance.
u
Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch
which turns power off when you turn out the lights.
u
Move charger and battery pack to a location where the
surrounding air temperature is approximately 65°F
- 75°F (18°- 24°C).
u
If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery pack
and charger to your local service center.
u
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.
