Charging a battery (BCBL200 L and BCBL200 L25
units only) (fig. A)
BLACK+DECKER chargers are designed to charge
BLACK+DECKER battery packs.
u
Plug the charger (4) into an appropriate outlet before
inserting a battery pack (3).
u
Insert the battery pack (3) into the charger, making sure
the battery pack is fully seated in the battery slots
(Figure A).
The LED (4a) will flash indicating that the battery is being
charged.
The completion of charge is indicated by the LED remaining
on continuously. The pack is fully charged and may be used at
this time or left in the charger.
u
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.
Charger diagnostics
This charger is designed to detect certain problems that can
arise with the battery packs or the power source. Problems
are indicated by one LED flashing in different patterns.
Bad battery
The charger can detect a weak or damaged battery. The LED
flashes in the pattern indicated on the label. If you see this bad
battery blink pattern, do not continue to charge the battery.
Return it to a service center or a collection site for ecycling.
Hot/cold pack delay
When the charger detects a battery that is excessively hot or
excessively cold, it automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack Delay,
suspending charging until the battery has normalized. After
this happens, the charger automatically switches to the Pack
Charging mode. This feature ensures maximum battery life.
The light flashes in the pattern indicated on the label.
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.
This charger features an automatic tune-up mode which
equals or balances the individual cells in the battery pack to
allow it to function at peak capacity.
Battery packs should be tuned up weekly or whenever the bat-
tery no longer delivers the same amount of work. To use the
automatic tune-up mode, place the battery pack in the charger
and leave it for at least 8 hours.
Important charging notes
u
Longest life and best performance can be obtained if
the battery pack is charged when the air temperature is
between 18 ° – 24 °C. DO NOT charge the battery pack in
an air temperature below +4.5 °C), or above +40 °C. This
is important and will prevent serious damage to the battery
pack.
u
The charger and battery pack may become warm to the
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 operation of 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 the charger and battery pack to a location
where the surrounding air temperature is
approximately 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 effect on the battery pack.
u
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 charger cavities. Unplug the
charger before attempting to clean.
u
Do not freeze or immerse the charger in water or any
other liquid.
