CHARGING/RECHARGING

Lead-acid batteries require routine maintenance to ensure a full charge and long battery life. All batteries lose energy from self-discharge over time and more rapidly when they are at higher temperatures. Therefore, batteries

need periodic charging to replace energy lost through self-discharge. When the unit is not in frequent use, Black & Decker recommends the battery be recharged at least every 60 days.

Check the battery charge level by pressing the battery status button. The LED charge status display will indicate the level of battery charge. When only one red LED lights, recharge the unit.

When the battery is overly discharged and if the green LED is lit when the charger is plugged in, this indicates the battery is at a high impedance stage.

120 VOLT AC

CHARGING ADAPTER

In this event, recharge the unit and leave the unit on charge for a period of 48hrs before using the unit.

Notes: This unit is delivered in a partially charged state – you must fully charge it before using it for the first time. Initial AC charge should be for 48 hours.
