*DCB107, DCB112: The red light will
continue to blink, but a yellow indicator
light will be illuminated during this
operation. Once the battery 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 or by displaying problem pack or
charger blinkpattern.
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 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 batterylife.
A cold battery pack will charge at about half the rate
of 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warms.
