standard 220~240 V household electrical
power. Do not attempt to use it on any other
voltage. This does not apply to the vehicular
charger.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Chargers
The DCB105 charger accepts 10.8 V, 14.4 V and
18 V Li-Ion (DCB121, DCB140, DCB141, DCB180
and DCB181) battery packs.
This charger requires no adjustment and is designed
to be as easy as possible to operate.
Charging Procedure (figure 2)
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate 220~240 V
outlet before inserting the battery pack.
2. Insert the battery pack (f) into the charger,
making sure the pack is fully seated in the
charger. The red (charging) light 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, fully charge the pack before first use.
Charging Process
Refer to the table below for the state of charge of
the battery pack.

This charger will not charge a faulty battery pack.
The charger will indicate faulty battery by refusing to
light or by displaying problem pack or charger blink
pattern.
NOTE: This could also mean a problem with a
charger.
If the charger indicates a problem, take the charger
and battery pack to be tested at an authorised
service centre.
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.
XR Li-Ion tools 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.
A cold battery pack will charge at about half the rate
of 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 warms.
Important Safety Instructions for All
Battery Packs
When ordering replacement battery packs, be sure
to include the catalog 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 and then follow
the charging procedures outlined.
