Charging a Battery Pack
NOTICE
: To ensure maximum performance
and life of lithium-ion battery packs, charge
the battery pack fully before first use.
1)
WHEN TO CHARGE BATTERY PACK
a.
The fuel gage on the battery pack
indicates the current battery capacity.
If battery pack is less than 100% or 3
green bars, battery pack can be charged
to full capacity.
b.
Remove the battery pack from the tool
for charging when needed. RHYNO
Lithium-ion battery packs do not
develop “memory” when charged after
only a partial discharge. It is not
necessary to run down the battery pack
before placing it on the charger.
c.
You can “top off” each battery pack at
any time or at any level of battery
charge as needed.
d.
The only time that it is necessary to
charge a battery pack is if it has reached
the end of its charge. To signal the end
of its charge, power to the tool will stop.
2)
CHARGING A BATTERY PACK
a.
Align the battery pack with the bay and
slide the battery pack into the charger as
far as possible. The red LED will indicate
charging is ongoing.
b.
After inserting the battery pack fully
into the charger slot, the LED will
indicate RED while charging.
c.
When charging is complete, the LED will
indicate GREEN.
d.
If the battery pack or charger is out of the
normal temperature range of 32°F-113°F
(0°-45°C) the LED will indicate RED &
GREEN.
e.
A fully discharged battery pack with an
internal temperature in the normal
range will charge in about 15-20
minutes. Heavily cycled batteries may
take longer to completely charged.
NOTICE
: Hot or cold batteries will take
longer to charge.
NOTICE
: Inverters or generators rated to
100 watts or higher can be used to power
charger.

CLEANING
Clean out dust and debris from charger
vents and electrical contacts by blowing
with compressed air. Use only mild soap
and a damp cloth to clean the battery pack
and charger, keeping away from the
electrical contacts. Certain cleaning agents
and solvents are harmful to plastics and
other insulted parts. Some of these include
gasoline, turpentine, lacquer thinner, paint
thinner, chlorinated cleaning solvents,
ammonia and household detergents
