WALT charger. Be sure to read all safety instructions
before using your charger. Consult the chart at the end of this manual
for compatibility of chargers and battery packs.
Charging Procedure (Fig. 1)
DANGER:
Electrocution hazard. 120 volts are present at charging
terminals. Do not probe with conductive objects. Electric shock or
electrocution may result.

Indicator Light Operation
Charge Indicators
Some chargers are designed to detect certain problems that can arise
with battery packs. Problems are indicated by the red light fl ashing
at a fast rate. If this occurs, re-insert battery pack into the charger. If
the problem persists, try a different battery pack to determine if the
charger is OK. If the new pack charges correctly, then the original
pack is defective and should be returned to a service center or
other collection site for recycling. If the new battery pack elicits the
same trouble indication as the original, have the charger tested at an
authorized service center.
HOT/COLD PACK DELAY
Some chargers have a Hot/Cold Pack Delay feature: when the charger
detects a battery that is hot, it automatically starts a Hot Pack Delay,
suspending charging until the battery has cooled. After the battery
has cooled, the charger automatically switches to the Pack Charging
mode. This feature ensures maximum battery life. The red light fl ashes

is used with some portable power sources such as generators or
sources that convert DC to AC, the charger may temporarily suspend
