BATTERY PACK/CHARGER
If not purchased as a kit, the battery pack and charger are not included with your light. They are both sold sepa- rately. If you need to purchase the battery pack and charger, use the following information:
MODEL NO. | BATTERY PACK | CHARGER |
315.114071 | Item No. 9 11375 | Item No. 9 11041 |

BATTERY PACK
The battery pack for this light has been shipped in a low charge condition to prevent possible problems. Therefore, you should charge it until light on front of charger changes from red to green.
Note: Batteries will not reach full charge the first time they are charged. Allow several cycles (operating light followed by recharging) for batteries to become fully charged.
CHARGING BATTERY PACK
See Figure 1.
■Use only the recommended battery pack and charger with the light.
■Make sure power supply is normal household voltage, 120 Volts, 60 Hz, AC only.
■Connect charger to power supply.
■Place battery pack in charger aligning raised rib on battery pack with groove in charger. See Figure 1.
■Press down on battery pack to be sure contacts on battery pack engage properly with contacts in charger.
■Normally, the red LED on charger will come on. This indicates charger is in fast charging mode.
■Red LED should remain on for approximately 1 hour then the green LED will come on. Green LED on indicates battery pack is fully charged and charger is in trickle charge mode. Note: Green LED will remain on until battery pack is removed from charger or charger is disconnected from power supply.
■If both yellow and green LED come on, this indicates a deeply discharged or defective battery pack.
Allow battery pack to remain in charger for 15 to 30 minutes. When battery pack reaches normal voltage range, red LED should come on.
If red LED does not come on after 30 minutes, this indicates a defective battery pack and should be replaced.
■After normal usage, a minimum of 1 hour of charging time is required to fully recharge battery pack.
■The battery pack will become slightly warm to the touch while charging. This is normal and does not indicate a problem.
■Do not place charger and battery pack in an area of extreme heat or cold. It will work best at normal room temperature.
Note: Charger and battery pack should be placed in a location where the temperature is more than 50°F but less than 100°F.
■When batteries become fully charged, unplug charger from power supply and remove the battery pack.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR RECHARGING HOT BATTERY PACK
When using the light 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 battery pack in charger. If green LED continues to remain on, return battery pack to your nearest Sears Repair Center for checking or replacing.
Note: This situation only occurs when continuous use of your light causes the batteries to become hot. It does not occur under normal circumstances. Refer to "CHARGING BATTERY PACK" for normal recharging of batteries. If the charger does not charge the battery pack under normal circumstances, return both the battery pack and charger to the nearest Sears Repair Center for electrical check.
