ENGLISH
If medical attention is needed, the battery electrolyte is composed of a
mixture of liquid organic carbonates and lithiumsalts.
• Contents of opened battery cells may cause respiratory irritation.
Provide fresh air. If symptoms persists, seek medicalattention.

WARNING: Burn hazard. Battery liquid may be flammable if exposed
to spark orflame.

WARNING: Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If
battery pack case is cracked or damaged, do not insert into charger.
Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not use a battery pack
or charger that has received a sharp blow, been dropped, run over
or damaged in any way (i.e., pierced with a nail, hit with a hammer,
stepped on). Electric shock or electrocution may result. Damaged
battery packs should be returned to service centre forrecycling.

WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not store or carry the battery pack so
that metal objects can contact exposed battery terminals. For
example, do not place the battery pack in aprons, pockets, tool boxes,
product kit boxes, drawers, etc., with loose nails, screws, keys, etc.

CAUTION: When not in use, place tool on its side on a stable
surface where it will not cause a tripping or falling hazard. Some
tools with large battery packs will stand upright on the battery pack
but may be easily knockedover.
Transportation

WARNING: Fire hazard. Transporting batteries can possibly cause
fire if the battery terminals inadvertently come in contact with
conductive materials. When transporting batteries, make sure that the
battery terminals are protected and well insulated from materials that
could contact them and cause a shortcircuit.
DeWALT
batteries comply with all applicable shipping regulations
as prescribed by industry and legal standards which include UN
Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods; International Air
Transport Association (IATA) Dangerous Goods Regulations, International
Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Regulations, and the European
Agreement Concerning The International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by
Road (ADR). Lithium-ion cells and batteries have been tested to section 38.3
of the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods Manual
of Tests andCriteria.
In most instances, shipping a
DeWALT
battery pack will be excepted
from being classified as a fully regulated Class 9 Hazardous Material. In
general, only shipments containing a lithium-ion battery with an energy
rating greater than 100 Watt Hours (Wh) will require being 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Whr.
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
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.
Transport Wh rating indicates 3x36
Wh, meaning 3 batteries of 36 Watt
hours each. The Use Wh rating
indicates 108 Watt hours (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: Use without transportation cap, Wh rating indicates 108
Wh (1 battery with 108 Wh).
Transport: Transport with built-in transport cap, Wh rating
indicates 3 x 36 Wh (3batteries of 36 Wh).
