DCB107, DCB112, DCB113, DCB115
These chargers will not charge a faulty battery pack. The charger will
indicate faulty battery pack by refusing to light.
NOTE:
This could also mean a problem with a charger.
Wall Mounting
DCB107, DCB112, DCB113, DCB115
These chargers are designed to be wall mountable or to sit upright on
a table or work surface.
If wall mounting, locate the charger within reach of an electrical outlet.
Mount the charger securely using drywall screws at least 1" (25.4 mm)
long, screwed into wood to an optimal depth leaving approximately
7/32" (5.5 mm) of the screw exposed.
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 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 charger or battery pack in a warm environment
such as in a metal shed or an uninsulated trailer.
3. 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 pack warms.
4. If the battery pack does not charge properly:
a. Check operation of receptacle by plugging in a lamp or other
appliance;
HOT/COLD DELAY
DCB101, DCB102, DCB103
These chargers have a hot/cold delay feature. When the charger
detects a battery that is too hot or too cold, it automatically starts a
delay, suspending charging. The red light flashes long, then short while
in the hot/cold delay mode.
Once the battery has reached an optimum temperature, the charger
will automatically resume the charging procedure. This feature ensures
maximum battery life.
DCB107, DCB112, DCB113, DCB115
These chargers have a hot/cold delay feature. When the charger
detects a battery that is too hot or too cold, it automatically starts a
delay, suspending charging. The red light will continue to blink, but a
yellow indicator light will be illuminated during this suspension.
Once the battery has reached an optimum temperature, the yellow
light will turn off and the charger will automatically resume the charging
procedure. This feature ensures maximum battery life.
LEAVING THE BATTERY PACK IN THE CHARGER
The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the charge
indicator showing Pack Charged.
WEAK BATTERY PACKS:
Weak batteries will continue to function
but should not be expected to perform as much work.
FAULTY BATTERY PACKS
DCB101, DCB102, DCB103
These chargers will not charge a faulty battery pack. The charger will
indicate faulty battery pack by refusing to light or by displaying problem
pack or charger.
NOTE:
This could also mean a problem with a charger.
