shipped as fully regulated Class 9. All lithium‑ ion
batteries have the Watt Hour rating marked on the pack.
Furthermore, due to regulation complexities, DeWALT
does not recommend air shipping lithium‑ ion battery
packs alone regardless of Watt Hour rating. Shipments of
tools with batteries (combo kits) can be air shipped as
excepted if the Watt Hour rating of the battery pack is no
greater than 100 Wh.
Regardless of whether a shipment is considered
excepted or fully regulated, it is the shipper's
responsibility to consult the latest regulations for
packaging, labeling/marking and documentation
requirements.
The information provided in this section of the manual is
provided in good faith and believed to be accurate at the
time the document was created. However, no warranty,
expressed or implied, is given. It is the buyer’s
responsibility to ensure that its activities comply with the
applicable regulations.
Transporting the FlEXVOlT
TM
Battery
The DeWALT FLEXVOLT
TM
battery has two modes:
Use and Transport.
Use Mode: When the FLEXVOLT
TM
battery stands alone
or is in a DeWALT 18V product, it will operate as an 18V
battery. When the FLEXVOLT
TM
battery is in a 54V or a
108V (two 54V batteries) product, it will operate as a
54V battery.
Transport Mode: When the cap is attached to the
FLEXVOLT battery, the battery is in Transport mode.
Keep the cap for shipping.
When in Transport mode, strings of cells are electrically
disconnected within the pack resulting in 3 batteries
with a lower Watt hour (Wh) rating as compared to 1
battery with a higher Watt hour rating. This increased
quantity of 3 batteries with the lower Watt hour rating
can exempt the pack from certain shipping regulations
that are imposed upon the higher Watt hour batteries.
For example, the Transport
Wh rating might indicate 3 x 36
Wh, meaning 3 batteries of 36
Wh each. The Use Wh rating
might indicate 108 Wh (1
battery implied).
Storage Recommendations
1. The best storage place is one that is cool and dry away
from direct sunlight and excess heat or cold. For
optimum battery performance and life, store battery
packs at room temperature when not in use.
2. For long storage, it is recommended to store a fully
charged battery pack in a cool, dry place out of the
charger for optimal results.
nOTE: Battery packs should not be stored completely
depleted of charge. The battery pack will need to be
recharged before use.
Labels on Charger and Battery Pack
In addition to the pictographs used in this manual, the
labels on the charger and the battery pack may show the
following pictographs:
Read instruction manual before use.
See Technical Data for charging time.
Do not probe with conductive objects.
Do not charge damaged battery packs.
Do not expose to water.
Have defective cords replaced immediately.
Charge only between 4 ˚C and 40 ˚C.
Only for indoor use.
Discard the battery pack with due care
for the environment.
Charge DeWALT battery packs only with
designated DeWALT chargers. Charging
battery packs other than the designated
DeWALT batteries with a DeWALT charger may
make them burst or lead to other dangerous
situations.
Do not incinerate the battery pack.
USE (without transport cap). Example: Wh
rating indicates 108 Wh (1 battery with 108
Wh).
TRANSPORT (with built‑ in transport cap).
