Transporting the FLEXVOLT
TM
 Battery
The 
 FLEXVOLT
TM
 battery has two modes: Use and 
Transport.
Use Mode: When the FLEXVOLT
TM
 battery stands alone or is in 
a 
 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
TM
 
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 
3x36 Wh, meaning 3 
batteries of 36 Wh each. 
The Use Wh rating might 
indicate 108Wh (1battery 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.
Example of Use and Transport Label Marking
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 
 battery packs only with designated 
 chargers. Charging battery packs other 
than the designated 
 batteries with a 
 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). Example: 
Wh rating indicates 3 x 36 Wh (3batteries of 36 Wh).
