Indicator
Color
Left LED (Red)
Right LED (Multi-color)
Red
Charging unit ready to operate.
Battery defective
Red
Flashing
Charging unit out of order.
New or unused batteries whose
nominal capacity is not sufficient.
Battery too hot or too cold.
Remove battery.
Safety components possibly defective.
Green
–
Charging cycle starts
Green
Flashing
–
Battery fully charged.
Charging unit switches automatically into a
maintaining mode. Battery can stay in charger for
indefinite time w/o being damaged.
Yellow
–
Battery at least 90% charged.
Charging cycle can be terminated.
–
If the right LED does not light up, the circuit of the
battery is disconnected or the battery is incorrectly
polarized.
•
If the nominal capacity of the battery is not achieved, e.g. at first charge, the battery is not
necessarily faulty. Full capacity can be achieved after (3) charging/discharging cycles.
•
When the speed of the tool decreases noticeably, the battery must be recharged.
ATTENTION:
Do Not recharge a partially discharged battery as a precaution.
•
Charge the battery at room temperature between 50°F and 104°F (10°C and 40°C).
•
If charging a battery which has recently been used, or which has been exposed to sun for
a long period of time (T>149°F / T>65°C), the right LED may flash red. In this case,
remove battery out of charger. The charging procedure can be re-started after the battery
has cooled down.
•
Charging batteries at low temperatures – under 41°F (5°C) is not recommended. Increase
battery temperature before starting the charging cycle.
•
Do Not expose the charging unit to rain or snow.
•
Do Not charge a battery in the vicinity of explosive materials and gases.
•
No other batteries (e.g. dry batteries or car batteries, etc.) are to be used in the tool or in
the charging unit.
•
Do Not use the cord to transport the charging unit, or to pull the plug out of a wall socket
with force.
•
Do Not insert foreign objects into the ducts of the charging unit. Pull the plug of the
charging unit after charging. Do Not disassemble the charging unit or battery.
ATTENTION:
Do Not place the battery in your pocket or in your toolbox if there are any
conductive materials in it such as coins, keys, tools or other metallic parts.
TERMINATIONS PER BATTERY CHARGE
The estimated number of terminations before the battery will need to be recharged is dependent on
variables such as the terminal size and type being terminated, ambient temperature, and time lapsed
between termination cycles as well as other variables.
