
Charging Ryobi
™
18V Li-ion battery packs
NOTICE:
If at any point during the charging process none of the
LEDs are lit, remove the battery pack from the charger
to avoid damaging the product. DO NOT insert another
battery. Return the charger and battery to your nearest
authorized service center for service or replacement.
NOTICE:
Charge in a well-ventilated area. Do not block charger
vents. Keep them clear to allow proper ventilation.
KEY HOLE HANGER
See Figure 1, page 6.
To mount the charger, only use the key hole hanging feature.
Screws should be installed so that the center distance is
4-1/2 in.
CHARGING
See Figures 2 - 3, page 6.
Battery packs are shipped in a low charge condition to
prevent possible problems. Therefore, you should charge
them before first use. If the charger does not charge your
battery pack under normal circumstances, return both the
battery pack and charger to your nearest repair center for
electrical check.
Charge time is approximately 1 hour, and is dependent upon
the type of battery pack.

Make sure the power supply is normal household voltage,
120 volts, AC only, 60 Hz.

Connect the charger to a power supply.

Attach the battery pack to the charger by aligning the
raised ribs on the battery pack with the grooves in the
charger, then insert the battery pack into the charger.

Press down on the battery pack to be sure contacts on
the battery pack engage properly with contacts in the
charger. Latches should snap into place to ensure charger
is correctly connected.

Do not place the charger in an area of extreme heat or
cold. It will work best at normal room temperature.

The battery pack may 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.

To remove the battery pack from the charger, depress
latches and pull up on the battery pack.

When the battery pack is fully charged, remove it from
the charger.
CHARGING A HOT BATTERY PACK
When using a tool continuously, the battery pack may
become hot. A hot battery pack may be placed directly onto
the charger port but charging will not begin until the battery
temperature cools to within acceptable temperature range.
When a hot battery pack is placed on the charger, the red
LED will begin flashing and the green LED will be off. When
the battery pack cools, the charger will automatically begin
charging.
CHARGING A COLD BATTERY PACK
A cold battery pack may be placed directly onto the charger
port but charging will not begin until the battery temperature
warms to within acceptable temperature range. When a cold
battery pack is placed on the charger, the red LED will begin
flashing and the green LED will be off. When the battery
pack warms, the charger will automatically begin charging.
