RECHARGEABLE APPLIANCES

Certain rechargers for small 

nickel cadmium batteries 

can be damaged if connected 

to the unit. Two types of 

equipment are particularly 

prone to this problem:
1.

Small battery operated
appliances that can be
plugged directly into
an AC receptacle for
recharging, including
flashlights, razors, and
night lights.

2.

Certain battery chargers for
battery packs used in hand
power tools, specifically
those that have a
WARNING label stating
that dangerous voltages
are present at the battery
terminals.

Problems do not occur with 
the vast majority of battery 
operated tools, most of which 
use a separate charger or 
transformer that plugs into  
an AC receptacle and produces 
a low voltage output. If the 
label on your tool’s AC adapter 
or charger states that is 
produces a low voltage AC or 
DC output (less than 30 volts) 
you can safely power the 
charger.
