Black & Decker BDCDMT120IA, BDCDMT120FL, BDCDMT120C, BDCDMT120-2 12volt max* Charging Procedure

•DO NOT splash or immerse in water or other liquids. This may cause premature cell failure.

•Do not store or use the tool and battery pack in locations where the temperature may reach or exceed 105°F (40˚C) (such as outside sheds or metal buildings in summer).

WARNING: Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If battery pack case is cracked or damaged, do not insert into charger. Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not use a battery pack or charger that has received a sharp blow, been dropped, run over or damaged in any way (i.e., pierced with a nail, hit with a hammer, stepped on). Damaged battery packs should be returned to service center for recycling.

WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not store or carry battery so that metal objects can contact exposed battery terminals. For example, do not place battery in aprons, pockets, tool boxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc., with loose nails, screws, keys, etc. Transporting batteries can possibly cause fires if the battery terminals inadvertently come in contact with conductive materials such as keys, coins, hand tools and the like. The US Department of Transportation Hazardous Material Regulations (HMR) actually prohibit transporting batteries in commerce or on airplanes (i.e., packed in suitcases and carry-on luggage) UNLESS they are properly protected from short circuits. So when transporting individual batteries, make sure that the battery terminals are protected and well insulated from materials that could contact them and cause a short circuit.

NOTE: Lithium-Ion batteries should not be put in checked baggage.

Storage Recommendations

1. The best storage place is one that is cool and dry away from direct sunlight and excess heat or cold. 2. Long storage will not harm the battery pack or charger.

12volt max* Battery Pack (BDCDMT112) Charging, Installing, and Removing

12volt max* Charging Procedure		A
Black & Decker chargers are designed to charge Black & Decker
battery packs in 3-5 hours depending on the pack being charged.
1.	Plug the charger (1) into an appropriate outlet before inserting the
battery pack (2).
2.	Insert the battery pack into the charger. (Figure A)
3.	The green LED will flash indicating that the battery pack is being
charged.
4.	The completion of charge is indicated by the green LED remaining
on continuously. The battery pack is fully charged and may be used at
this time or left on the charger.

Recharge discharged batteries as soon as possible after use or battery life may be greatly diminished. For longest battery life, do not discharge batteries fully. It is recommended that the batteries be recharged after each use.

important charging notes

1. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery pack is charged when the air temperature is between 65°F and 75°F (18°- 24°C). DO NOT charge the battery pack in an air temperature below +40°F (+4.5°C), or above +105°F (+40.5°C). This is important and will prevent serious damage to the battery pack.

2. The charger and battery pack may become warm to touch while charging. This is a normal condition, and does not indicate a problem. To facilitate the cooling of the battery pack after use, avoid placing the charger or battery pack in a warm environment such as in a metal shed, or an uninsulated trailer.

3. If the battery pack does not charge properly:

a. Check current at receptacle by plugging in a lamp or other appliance.

b. Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch which turns power off when you turn out the lights.

c. Move charger and battery pack to a location where the surrounding air temperature is approximately 65°F - 75°F (18°- 24°C).

d. If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery pack and charger to your local service center.
