nOTE: To ensure maximum performance and life of
lithium-ion battery packs, charge the battery pack fully
before first use.
Charger Operation
Refer to the indicators below for the charge status of the
battery pack.
* The red light will continue to blink, but a yellow
indicator light will be illuminated during this operation.
Once the battery pack has reached an appropriate
temperature, the yellow light will turn off and the
charger will resume the charging procedure.
The compatible charger(s) will not charge a faulty
battery pack. The charger will indicate faulty battery by
refusing to light. nOTE: This could also mean a problem
with a charger.
If the charger indicates a problem, take the charger and
battery pack to be tested at an authorised service
centre.
hot/Cold Pack Delay
When the charger detects a battery pack that is too hot
or too cold, it automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack Delay,
suspending charging until the battery pack has reached
an appropriate temperature. The charger then
automatically switches to the pack charging mode. This
feature ensures maximum battery pack life.
A cold battery pack will charge at a slower rate than a
warm battery pack. The battery pack will charge at that
slower rate throughout the entire charging cycle and will
not return to maximum charge rate even if the battery
pack warms.
Electronic Protection system
XR Li-Ion tools are designed with an Electronic Protection
System that will protect the battery pack against
overloading, overheating or deep discharge.
The tool will automatically turn off if the Electronic
Protection System engages. If this occurs, place the
lithium-ion battery pack on the charger until it is fully
charged.
Wall Mounting
These chargers are designed to be wall mountable or to
sit upright on a table or work surface. If wall mounting,
locate the charger within reach of an electrical outlet,
and away from a corner or other obstructions which may
impede air flow. Use the back of the charger as a
template for the location of the mounting screws on the
wall. Mount the charger securely using drywall screws
(purchased separately) at least 25.4 mm long with a
screw head diameter of 7–9 mm, screwed into wood to
an optimal depth leaving approximately 5.5 mm of the
screw exposed. Align the slots on the back of the charger
with the exposed screws and fully engage them in the
slots.
Charger Cleaning Instructions
WARNING: Shock hazard. Disconnect the charger
from the AC outlet before cleaning. Dirt and grease
may be removed from the exterior of the charger using
a cloth or soft non-metallic brush. Do not use water or
any cleaning solutions. Never let any liquid get inside the
tool; never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.
Battery Packs
Important Safety Instructions for All Battery

• 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 personal injury.
• Charge the battery packs only in DeWALT chargers.
• DO NOT splash or immerse in water or other liquids.
• Do not store or use the tool and battery pack in
locations where the temperature may reach or
