* DCB107, DCB112, DCB113, DCB115, DCB118:
The red light will continue to blink, but a yellow
indicator light will be illuminated during this
operation. Once the battery pack 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 pack that is too
hot or too cold, it automatically starts a Hot/Cold
Pack Delay, suspending charging until the battery
pack has reached an appropriate temperature. The
charger then automatically switches to the pack
charging mode. This feature ensures maximum
battery pack life.
A cold battery pack will charge at a slower rate than
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 pack warms.
The DCB118 charger is equipped with an internal
fan designed to cool the battery pack. The fan will
turn on automatically when the battery pack needs
to be cooled. Never operate the charger if the fan
does not operate properly or if ventilation slots are
blocked. Do not permit foreign objects to enter the
interior of the charger.
LITHIUM-ION BATTERY PACKS ONLY
XR Li-Ion tools are designed with an Electronic
Protection System that will protect the battery pack
against overloading, overheating or deep discharge.
The tool will automatically turn off if the Electronic
Protection System engages. If this occurs, place the
lithium-ion battery pack on the charger until it is fully
charged.
Wall Mounting
DCB107, DCB112, DCB113, DCB115, DCB118
These chargers are designed to be wall mountable
or to sit upright on a table or work surface. If wall
mounting, locate the charger within reach of an
electrical outlet, and away from a corner or other
obstructions which may impede air flow. Use the
