Use Mode: When the FLEXVOLT TM battery stands alone or is in
a D
e
WALT 18V product, it will operate as an 18V battery. When
the FLEXVOLT TM battery is in a 54V or a 108V (two 54V batteries)
product, it will operate as a 54V battery.
Transport Mode: When the cap is attached to the FLEXVOLT TM
battery, the battery is in transport mode. Keep the cap for
shipping.
When in Transport mode, strings
of cells are electrically
disconnected within the pack
resulting in 3 batteries with a
lower Watt hour (Wh) rating as compared to 1 battery with a
higher Watt hour rating. This increased quantity of 3 batteries
with the lower Watt hour rating can exempt the pack from
certain shipping regulations that are imposed upon the higher
Watt hour batteries.
Transport Wh rating
indicates 3 x 36 Wh,
meaning 3 batteries of
36 Watt hours each. The
Use Wh rating indicates
108 Watt hours (1 battery
implied).
