„

Press down on the battery pack to be sure contacts 

on the battery pack engage properly with contacts in 

the charger.

 

„

Do not place the charger and battery pack in an area 

of extreme heat or cold. They will work best at normal 

room temperature.

Note: The charger and battery pack should be placed in a 

location where the temperature is more than 10°C (50°F) 

but less than 38°C (100°F).

 

„

The battery pack will become slightly warm to the 

touch while charging. This is normal and does not 

indicate a problem.

 

„

After charging is complete, the green LED will remain 

on until the battery pack is removed from the charger 

or charger is disconnected from the power supply.

 

„

When batteries become fully charged, unplug the 

charger from the power supply and remove the battery 

pack.

 

„

To remove the battery pack from the charger, depress 

the latches on each side of the battery pack.

CHARGING A HOT BATTERY PACK

If the battery pack is above normal temperature range, the 

red LED will begin flashing and the green LED will be off. 

When the battery pack cools down to approximately 50°C 

(122°F), the charger will automatically begin fast charge 

mode.

CHARGING A COOL BATTERY PACK

If the battery pack is below normal temperature range, the 

red LED will begin flashing and the green LED will be off. 

When the battery warms to a temperature of more than 

0°C (32°F), the charger will automatically begin charge 

mode.

COLD WEATHER OPERATION

The lithium-ion battery pack can be used in temperatures 

down to -20°C (-4°F). Put the battery pack on a tool and 

use the tool in a light duty application. After about a 

minute, the pack will have warmed up and begin operating 

normally.

ENERGIZING BATTERY CHARGER
See figure 3

By  holding  the  connector  firmly,  place  connector  into  a 

cigarette lighter receptacle or “power point” to energize 

battery charger; red power LED will come on.

 CAUTION

If the 12 V adapter does not fit firmly into the cigarette 

lighter receptacle or power point, the receptacle 

may not be suitable for use with the charger. A poor 

connection at the base of the 12 V adapter could lead 

to electrical problems in the vehicle outside of the 

protections offered by the vehicle or charger’s fuse.

MAINTENANCE

 WARNING

When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. 

Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause 

product damage.

 WARNING

To avoid serious personal injury, always remove the 

battery pack from the tool when cleaning or performing 

any maintenance.

Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most 

plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of 

commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. 

Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil and grease.

 WARNING

Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-

based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact 

with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or 

destroy plastic which may result in serious personal 

injury.

CHANGING FUSE
See figure 4

The 12 V adapter contains a 250 V 8 Amp fuse to protect 

the adapter and charger from unexpected power surges.

To replace the fuse:

 

„

Unscrew the fuse cap on the top of the 12 V adapter.

 

„

Replace old fuse with new one. If spring comes out, be 

sure to reinsert it before replacing new fuse.

 

„

Thread fuse cap back onto adapter. Tighten securely.

BATTERIES

This charger will accept Ryobi 14.4V and 18V lithium-

ion batteries or Ryobi 14.4V and 18V nickel-cadmium 

batteries. Length of service from each charging will 

depend on the type of work you are doing.
