Use Mode: When the FLEXVOLT™ battery stands alone or is
in a D
e
WALT 20V Max* product, it will operate as a 20V Max*
battery. When the FLEXVOLT™ battery is in a 60V Max* or a
120V Max* (two 60V Max* batteries) product, it will operate
as a 60V Max* battery.
Shipping Mode: When the
cap is attached to the
FLEXVOLT™ battery, the
battery is in Shipping
Mode. Strings of cells are
electrically disconnected within the pack resulting in three
batteries with a lower Watt hour (Wh) rating as compared to
one battery with a higher Watt hour rating. This increased
quantity of three batteries with the lower Watt hour rating
can exempt the pack from certain shipping regulations that
are imposed upon the higher Watt hour batteries.
The battery label indicates two Watt hour ratings (see
example). Depending on how the battery is shipped, the
appropriate Watt hour rating must be used to determine
the applicable shipping requirements. If utilizing the
shipping cap, the pack will be considered 3 batteries at
the Watt hour rating indicated for “Shipping”. If shipping
without the cap or in a tool, the pack will be considered one
battery at the Watt hour rating indicated next to “Use”.
USE: 120 Wh Shipping: 3 x 40 Wh
Example of Use and Shipping Label Marking
For example, Shipping Wh rating might indicate 3 x 40 Wh,
meaning 3 batteries of 40 Watt hours each. The Use Wh
rating might indicate 120 Wh (1 battery implied).
Fuel Gauge Battery Packs (Fig. B)
Some
DeWALT
battery packs include a fuel gauge which
consists of three green LED lights that indicate the level of
charge remaining in the batterypack.
The fuel gauge is an indication of approximate levels of
charge remaining in the battery pack according to the
followingindicators:
75–100% charged
51–74% charged
< 50% charged
Pack needs to be charged
To actuate the fuel gauge, press and hold the fuel gauge
button. A combination of the three green LED lights will
illuminate designating the level of charge left. When the
level of charge in the battery is below the usable limit, the
fuel gauge will not illuminate and the battery will need to
berecharged.
Fig. B
NOTE: The fuel gauge is only an indication of the charge left
on the battery pack. It does not indicate tool functionality
and is subject to variation based on product components,
temperature and end-userapplication.

The RBRC® Seal
The RBRC® (Rechargeable Battery
Recycling Corporation) Seal on the nickel
cadmium, nickel metal hydride or lithium-
ion batteries (or battery packs) indicates
that the costs to recycle these batteries
(or battery packs) at the end of their useful life have already
been paid by
DeWALT
. In some areas, it is illegal to place
spent nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride or lithium-ion
batteries in the trash or municipal solid waste stream and
the Call2Recycle® program provides an environmentally
consciousalternative.
Call 2 Recycle, Inc., in cooperation with
DeWALT
and other
battery users, has established the program in the United
States and Canada to facilitate the collection of spent nickel
cadmium, nickel metal hydride or lithium-ion batteries. Help
protect our environment and conserve natural resources by
returning the spent nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride
or lithium-ion batteries to an authorized
DeWALT
service
center or to your local retailer for recycling. You may also
contact your local recycling center for information on
where to drop off the spent battery. RBRC® is a registered

Important Safety Instructions for the
Area Light/Charger

WARNING: Read all safety warnings and all
instructions for the battery pack and area light/
charger. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/
or serious injury.
• The area light/charger is not intended for any
uses other than professional workspace lighting
and charging
DeWALT
20V Max* and Flexvolt™
rechargeable batteries. Any other uses may result in risk
of fire, electric shock orelectrocution.
• Do not expose the area light/charger to rain
orsnow.
• Pull by the plug rather than the cord when
disconnecting the area light/charger. This will reduce
the risk of damage to the electric plug andcord.
• Make sure that the extension cord is located so that
it will not be stepped on, tripped over or otherwise
subjected to damage orstress.
• When operating the area light/charger outdoors,
always provide a dry location and use an extension
cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electricshock.
• An extension cord must have adequate wire size
(AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller
the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity
of the cable, that is, 16 gauge has more capacity than 18
