Ryobi P500 Charging a HOT Battery Pack, Installing the Battery Pack, Removing the Battery Pack

CHARGING A HOT BATTERY PACK

When using the tool continuously, the batteries in the battery pack will become hot. You should let a hot battery pack cool down for approximately 30 minutes before attempting to recharge. When the battery pack becomes discharged and is hot, this will cause the green LED to come on instead of the red LED. After 30 minutes, reinsert the battery pack in the charger. If the green LED continues to remain on, return battery pack to your nearest Ryobi Authorized Service Center for checking or replacing.

NOTE: This situation only occurs when continuous use of the tool causes the batteries to become hot. It does not occur under normal circumstances. Refer to “CHARGING A COOL BATTERY PACK” for normal recharging of batter- ies. If the charger does not charge your battery pack under normal circumstances, return both the battery pack and charger to your nearest Ryobi Authorized Service Center for electrical check.

INSTALLING THE BATTERY PACK

See Figure 5.

NOTE: The battery pack is shipped in a low charge condition. Therefore, it must be charged prior to use. Refer to page 12, “CHARGING BATTERY PACK” for charging instructions.
