Important Safety Instructions for All Battery
Packs
When ordering replacement battery packs, be sure to include
catalogue number andvoltage.
The battery pack is not fully charged out of the carton. Before
using the battery pack and charger, read the safety instructions
below. Then follow charging proceduresoutlined.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not charge or use battery in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or
dust. Inserting or removing the battery from the charger may
ignite the dust orfumes.
• Never force battery pack into charger. Do not modify
battery pack in any way to fit into a non‑compatible
charger as battery pack may rupture causing serious
personalinjury.
• Charge the battery packs only in DeWALTchargers.
• DO NOT splash or immerse in water or otherliquids.
• Do not store or use the tool and battery pack in locations
where the temperature may fall below 4˚C (34˚F) (such
as outside sheds or metal buildings in winter), or reach
or exceed 40˚C (104˚F) (such as outside sheds or metal
buildings insummer).
• Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is severely
damaged or is completely worn out. The battery pack can
explode in a fire. Toxic fumes and materials are created when
lithium‑ion battery packs areburned.
Battery Cap (Fig.A)
A protective battery cap is supplied to cover the contacts of
a detached battery pack. Without the protective cap in place,
loose metal objects could short circuit the contacts, causing a
fire hazard and damaging the batterypack.
1. Take off the protective battery cap before placing the
battery pack in the charger ortool.
2. Place the protective cap over the contacts immediately after
removing the battery pack from the charger ortool.
WARNING: Make sure the protective battery cap is in
place before storing or carrying a detached batterypack.
Hot/Cold Pack Delay
When the charger detects a battery that is too hot or too cold, it
automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack Delay, suspending charging
until the battery has reached an appropriate temperature. The
charger then automatically switches to the pack charging mode.
This feature ensures maximum batterylife.
Li-Ion battery packs only
Li‑Ion batteries are designed with an Electronic Protection
System that will protect the battery against overloading,
overheating or deepdischarge.
The tool will automatically turn off if the Electronic Protection
System engages. If this occurs, place the Li‑Ion battery on the
charger until it is fullycharged.
Chargers
The DCB095 charger accepts 7.2 V Li‑Ionbatteries.
These chargers require no adjustment and are designed to be as
easy as possible tooperate.
Charging Procedure (Fig.A)
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before inserting
batterypack.
2. Insert the battery pack

will blink continuously indicating that the charging
process hasstarted.
3. The completion of charge will be indicated by the red light
remaining ON continuously. The pack is fully charged and
may be used at this time or left in thecharger.
NOTE: To ensure maximum performance and life of Li‑Ion
batteries, charge the battery pack fully before firstuse.
NOTE: During the presence of an electrostatic discharge (ESD)
pulse, the charger function is interrupted, but resumes without
operator intervention when the ESD pulse isremoved.

• Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to get inside the
DCB095 USB charging battery adapter. Electric shock
mayresult.
• Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury, use only DeWALT
10.8, 12, 14.4 and 18V lithium ion battery packs with the
DCB095 USB charging battery adapter. Do not attempt to
use it on any other battery packs. Other types of batteries
may overheat and burst resulting in personal injury and
propertydamage.
• This DCB095 USB charging battery adapter is not
intended for any uses other than supplying power/
charging small USB electronics. Any other uses may result
in risk of fire, electric shock orelectrocution.
• Do not expose the DCB095 USB charging battery
adapter to rain orsnow.
• When operating the DCB095 USB charging battery
adapter outdoors, always provide a drylocation.
• Do not operate the DCB095 USB charging battery
adapter if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped or
otherwise damaged in any way. Take it to an authorised
DeWALT repairagent.
• Do not disassemble the DCB095 USB charging battery
adapter, there are no user serviceableparts.
