Battery Replacement/Disposal

Battery Replacement

The battery should last the service life of the unit. Contact Technical Support toll- free at 800-544-6986 for any information you may need.

The RBRC™ Seal

The RBRC™ (Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation) Seal on the lead acid battery (or battery pack) indicates that the costs to recycle the battery (or battery pack) at the end of its useful life have already been paid by Black & Decker. In some areas, it is illegal to place spent lead acid batteries in the trash or municipal solid waste stream and the RBRC program provides an environmentally conscious alternative.

RBRC in cooperation with Black & Decker and other battery users, has established programs in the United States and Canada to

facilitate the collection of spent lead acid batteries. Help protect our environment and conserve natural resources by returning the lead acid battery to an authorized

Black & Decker service center or to your local retailer for recycling. You may also contact your local recycling center for information on where to drop off the spent battery, or call

1-800-8-BATTERY.

WARNINGS

Do not dispose of the battery in fire as this may result in an explosion.

Before disposing of the battery, protect exposed terminals with heavy-duty electrical tape to prevent shorting (shorting can result in injury or fire).

Do not expose battery to fire or intense heat as it may explode.

For more information on recycling this battery, call toll-free 800-544-6986.

12 Volt DC Charging Adapter Plug Fuse Replacement

1.Unscrew the end cap of the DC plug (counterclockwise).

2.Remove spring center contact and fuse.

3.Check fuse with a continuity checker.

4.If blown, locate a replacement 0.5 amp/250 volt fuse.
