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 receiveda 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 batteriescan possibly cause fires if the battery terminals

inadvertentlycome in contact with conductive materialssuch as keys, coins,

hand tools and the like. The US Department of TransportationHazardous Material

Regulations(HMR) actually prohibit transportingbatteries in commerce or on airplanes

(i.e., packed in suitcases and carry-on luggage) UNLESS they are properly protected

from short circuits. So when transportingindividual batteries, make sure that the battery

terminals are protected and well insulated from materials that could contact them and

cause a short circuit. NOTE: 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.

 

 

 

 

 

CHARGING PROCEDURE

 

 

 

 

 

PORTER-CABLEchargers are designed to charge PORTER-CABLEbattery packs in

30-60 minutes depending on the pack being charged.

inserting the battery pack (7).

2. Insert the battery pack into the charger. (Fig. B)

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 certainproblems that can arise with the batterypacks 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.

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.
