Charging a Battery
BLACK+DECKER chargers are designed to charge
BLACK+DECKER battery packs.
NOTE:
To ensure maximum performance and life of lithium
ion battery packs:
• Charge the battery pack fully before first use.
• Recharge discharged batteries as soon as possible
after every use.
• Do not discharge batteries fully.
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before
inserting the battery pack.
2. Insert the battery pack into the charger.
3. The green LED will flash indicating that the battery is
being charged.
4. 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.
Leaving the battery in the charger
The charger and battery pack can be left connected with
the green LED glowing indefinitely. The charger will keep
the battery pack fresh and fully charged.
Charger Cleaning Instructions
WARNING:
Shock hazard. Disconnect
the charger from the AC outlet before cleaning. Dirt
and grease may be removed from the exterior of the
charger using a cloth or soft non-metallic brush. Do
not use water or any cleaning solutions.
Important Charging Notes
1. 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 +104 °F (+40 °C). This is important
and will prevent serious damage to the battery pack.
2. 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.
3. If the battery pack does not charge properly:
a. Check operation of receptacle by plugging in a lamp
or other appliance;
b. Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch
which turns power off when you turn out the lights;
c. Move the charger and battery pack to a location
where the surrounding air temperature is
approximately 65 °F – 75 °F (18 ° – 24 °C);
d. If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery
pack and charger to your local service center.
4. 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
