Transporting the FLEXVOLT® Battery
The
D
e
WALT
FLEXVOLT® battery has two modes:
Use
and
Transport
.
Use Mode:
When the FLEXVOLT® battery stands alone or is in a
D
e
WALT
18V product, it
will operate as an 18V battery. When the FLEXVOLT® 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® 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).

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.
