Transporting the FLEXVOLT

TM

 Battery

The 

D

e

WALT

 FLEXVOLT

TM

 battery has two modes: 

Use

 and 

Transport

.

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. 
For example, the 
Transport Wh rating 
might indicate 3 x 36 
Wh, meaning 3 
batteries of 36 Wh each. 
The Use Wh rating might indicate 108 Wh (1 battery implied).

Storage Recommendations

1.  The best storage place is one that is cool and dry 

away from direct sunlight and excess heat or cold. For 
optimum battery performance and life, store battery 
packs at room temperature when not in use.

2.  For long storage, it is recommended to store a fully 

charged battery pack in a cool, dry place out of the 
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.

Labels on Charger and Battery Pack

In addition to the pictographs used in this manual, the labels 
on the charger and the battery pack may show the following 
pictographs:

Read instruction manual before use.
