REPAIRS
The charger has no serviceable parts.
Hot/Cold Battery Pack Delay
When the charger detects a battery pack
that is too hot or too cold, it automatically
starts a Hot/Cold Pack Delay, suspending
charging until the batty pack has reached an
appropriate temperature. The charger then
automatically switches to the pack charging
mode. This feature ensures maximum
battery pack life.
A cold battery pack will charge at a slower
rate than a warm battery pack. The battery
pack will charge at that slower rate
throughout the entire charging cycle and
will not return to maximum charge rate
even if the battery pack warms.
Lithium-Ion Battery Pack Only
Li-Ion tools are designed with an Electronic
Protection System that will protect the
battery
pack
against
overloading,
overheating or deep discharge. The tool will
automatically turn off if the Electronic
Protection System engages. If this occurs,
place the Li-Ion battery pack on the charger
until it if fully charged.
