Battery Packs
Important Safety Instructions for All Battery
Packs
When ordering replacement battery packs, be sure to include
catalogue number and voltage.
The battery pack is not fully charged out of the carton. Before
using the battery pack and charger, read the safety instructions
below. Then follow charging procedures outlined.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not charge or use battery in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or
dust.
Inserting or removing the battery from the charger may
ignite the dust or fumes.
•
Never force battery pack into charger. Do not modify
battery pack in any way to fit into a non‑compatible
charger as battery pack may rupture causing serious
personal injury.
• Charge the battery packs only in D
e
WALT chargers.
• 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 fall below 4 ˚C (34 ˚F) (such
as outside sheds or metal buildings in winter), or reach
or exceed 40 ˚C (104 ˚F) (such as outside sheds or metal
buildings in summer).
• 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.
Battery Cap (Fig. A)
A protective battery cap is supplied to cover the contacts of
a detached battery pack. Without the protective cap in place,
loose metal objects could short circuit the contacts, causing a
fire hazard and damaging the battery pack.
1. Take off the protective battery cap before placing the
battery pack in the charger or tool.
2. Place the protective cap over the contacts immediately after
removing the battery pack from the charger or tool.
WARNING: Make sure the protective battery cap is in
place before storing or carrying a detached battery pack.
Hot/Cold Pack Delay
When the charger detects a battery that is too hot or too cold, it
automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack Delay, suspending charging
until the battery has reached an appropriate temperature. The
charger then automatically switches to the pack charging mode.
This feature ensures maximum battery life.
Li‑Ion battery packs only
Li‑Ion batteries are designed with an Electronic Protection
System that will protect the battery against overloading,
overheating or deep discharge.
The tool will automatically turn off if the Electronic Protection
System engages. If this occurs, place the Li‑Ion battery on the
charger until it is fully charged.
Chargers
The DCB095 charger accepts 7.2 V Li‑Ion batteries.
These chargers require no adjustment and are designed to be as
easy as possible to operate.
Charging Procedure (Fig. A)
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before inserting
battery pack.
2. Insert the battery pack 3 into the charger 1 . Ensure that
the battery is positioned so the battery release button 2 is
on the same side as the charging light 4 . The red charging
light
4
will blink continuously indicating that the charging
process has started.
3. The completion of charge will be indicated by the red light
remaining ON continuously. The pack is fully charged and
may be used at this time or left in the charger.
nOTE:
To ensure maximum performance and life of Li‑Ion
batteries, charge the battery pack fully before first use.
nOTE:
During the presence of an electrostatic discharge (ESD)
pulse, the charger function is interrupted, but resumes without
operator intervention when the ESD pulse is removed.
