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 batteriescan possibly cause fires if the battery terminalsinadvertently

come in contact with conductivematerialssuch as keys, coins, hand tools and the

like. The US Department of TransportationHazardous 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: LI-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.

 

 

 

 

 

A

CHARGING PROCEDURE

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 into an appropriate outlet before inserting the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

battery pack.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. Insert the battery pack into the charger as shown in figure A.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. The greenLED will flashindicating thatthe batteryis beingcharged.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4. The completion of charge is indicated by the green LED

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

remaining on continuously. The 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.

CHARGER DIAGNOSTICS

 

 

 

 

 

This charger is designed to detect certain problems that can arise with the battery packs

or the power source. Problems are indicated by one LED flashing in different patterns.

BAD BATTERY

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The charger can detect a weak or damaged battery. The red LED flashes in the

 

 

pattern indicated on the label. If you see this bad battery blink pattern, do not

 

 

continue to charge the battery. Return it to a service center or a collection site for

 

 

recycling.

 

 

 

 

 

HOT/COLD PACK DELAY

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When the charger detects a battery that is excessively hot or excessively cold, it

 

 

automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack Delay, suspending charging until the battery

 

 

has normalized. After this happens, the charger automatically switches to the Pack

 

 

Charging mode. This feature ensures maximum battery life. The red LED flashes

 

 

in the pattern indicated on the label.

 

 

 

 

 

LEAVING THE BATTERY IN THE CHARGER

 

 

 

 

 

The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the green LED glowing

indefinitely. The charger will keep the battery pack fresh and fully charged.

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
