(2) Regarding the temperatures of the rechargeable
battery
The temperatures for rechargeable batteries are as
shown in
Table 2
, and batteries that have become
hot should be cooled for a while before being
recharged.
Table 2
Recharging ranges of batteries
(3) Regarding recharging time
Depending on the combination of the charger and
batteries, the charging time will become as shown
in
Table 3
.

CHARGING
<UC18YGL, UC18YRL, UC18YFL>
Before using the driver drill, charge the battery as
follows.
1. Connect the charger’s power cord to the receptacle.
When connecting the plug of the charger to a
receptacle, the charge status lamp will blink in red.
(At 1-second intervals).
2. Insert the battery into the charger.
Firmly insert the battery into the charger till it
contacts the bottom of the charger and checking
the polarities as shown in
Fig. 3
.
CAUTION
If the batteries are inserted in the reverse direction,
not only recharging will become impossible, but it
may also cause problems in the charger such as
a deformed recharging terminal.
3. Charging
When inserting a battery in the charger, the charge
status lamp will light up continuously in red.
When the battery becomes fully recharged, the
charge status lamp will blink in red. (At 1-second
intervals.) (See
Table 1
)
(1) Lamp indication
The indications of the lamp will be as shown in
Table 1
, according to the condition of the charger
or the rechargeable battery.

The charging time may vary according to
temperature and power source voltage.
4. Disconnect the charger’s power cord from the
receptacle
5. Hold the charger firmly and pull out the battery
NOTE:
After charging, pull out batteries from the charger
first, and then keep the batteries properly.
How to make the batteries perform longer.
(1) Recharge the batteries before they become
completely exhausted.
When you feel that the power of the tool becomes
weaker, stop using the tool and recharge its battery.
If you continue to use the tool and exhaust the
electric current, the battery may be damaged and
its life will become shorter.
(2) Avoid recharging at high temperatures.
A rechargeable battery will be hot immediately after
use. If such a battery is recharged immediately after
use, its internal chemical substance will deteriorate,
and the battery life will be shortened. Leave the
battery and recharge it after it has cooled for a while.
CAUTION
䡬
When the battery charger has been continuously
used, the battery charger will be heated, thus
