Ryobi P100 Charging a HOT Battery Pack, Batteries, Battery Pack Removal Preparation for Recycling

NOTE : The green LED will remain on until the battery pack is removed from the charger or charger is disconnected from the power supply.

nIf both yellow and green LEDs come on, this indi- cates a deeply discharged or defective battery pack. Allow the battery pack to remain in the charger for 15 to 30 minutes. When the battery pack reaches normal voltage range, the red LED should come on. If the red LED does not come on after 30 minutes, this may indicate a defective battery pack and should be replaced.

nAfter normal usage, a minimum of 1 hour of charging time is required to fully recharge battery pack.

nThe battery pack will become slightly warm to the touch while charging. This is normal and does not indicate a problem.

nDo not place the charger and battery pack in an area of extreme heat or cold. They will work best at normal room temperature.

NOTE : The charger and battery pack should be placed in a location where the temperature is more than 50°F but less than 100°F.

nWhen batteries become fully charged, unplug the charger from power supply and remove the battery pack.

CHARGING A HOT BATTERY PACK

When using a 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 a 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 batteries. If the charger does not charge your battery pack under normal

BATTERY PACK

circumstances, return both the battery pack and charger to your nearest Ryobi Authorized Service Center for electrical check.

BATTERIES

The battery pack is equipped with nickel-cadmium recharge- able batteries. Length of service from each charging will depend on the type of work you are doing.

The batteries have been designed to provide maximum trouble-free life. However, like all batteries, they will even- tually wear out. Do not disassemble battery pack and at- tempt to replace the batteries. Handling of these batteries, especially when wearing rings and jewelry, could result in a serious burn.

To obtain the longest possible battery life, we suggest the following:

nRemove the battery pack from the charger once it is fully charged and ready for use.

For battery storage longer than 30 days:

nStore the battery pack where the temperature is below 80°F.

nStore battery packs in a “discharged” condition.
