The portable power station/charger will not charge a faulty
battery pack. The portable power station/charger will
indicate faulty battery pack by refusing to light.
nOTE:
This could also mean a problem with the portable
power station/charger.
If the portable power station/charger indicates a problem,
take it and the battery pack(s) to be tested at an authorized
service center.
hot/Cold Pack Delay
When the portable power station/charger detects a battery
pack that is too hot or too cold, it automatically starts a Hot/
Cold Pack Delay, suspending charging until the battery
pack has reached an appropriate temperature. The portable
power station/charger then automatically switches to the
pack charging mode. This feature ensures maximum battery
pack life.
A cold battery pack will charge at a slower rate than a warm
battery pack. The battery pack will charge at that slower rate
throughout the entire charging cycle and will not return to
maximum charge rate even if the battery pack warms.
Electronic Protection System
Lithium-Ion tools are designed with an Electronic
Protection System that will protect the battery pack against
overloading, overheating or deep discharge.
The tool will automatically turn off if the Electronic
Protection System engages. If this occurs, place the lithium-
ion battery pack in the portable power station/charger until
it is fully charged.

Portable Power Station/Charger, refer to the

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 portable power station/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 portable power station/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 portable power station/charger and
battery pack(s) 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 portable power station/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
also charge a partially used pack whenever you desire
with no adverse effect on the battery pack.
5. 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 portable power station/
charger cavities. Always unplug the portable power
station/charger from the power supply when there is
no battery pack in the port. Unplug the portable power
station/charger before attempting to clean.
6. Do not freeze or immerse the portable power station/
charger in water or any other liquid.
Storage Recommendations
1. The best storage place is one that is cool and dry, away
from direct sunlight and excess heat or cold.
2. For long storage, it is recommended to store a fully
charged battery pack in a cool dry place out of the
portable power station/charger for optimal results.
nOTE:
Battery packs should not be stored completely
depleted of charge. The battery pack will need to be
recharged before use.
