The Ryobi ONE+ 6 Port Charger (model RC18627U) is a dedicated charging unit designed exclusively for Ryobi ONE+ Lithium-Ion battery packs. This charger is intended for indoor use only, in dry conditions, and is not suitable for charging other battery types, acting as a general power supply, or use in explosive or flammable environments. It is crucial to adhere to all safety warnings and instructions provided in the manual to prevent electric shock, fire, or explosion.

Function Description:

The primary function of this device is to charge up to six Ryobi ONE+ Lithium-Ion battery packs sequentially. When multiple battery packs are connected, they are charged one at a time in the order of their port numbers. The charger also features a USB charging port for additional utility. An LED indicator system provides visual feedback on the charging status of each battery, including states like "Waiting," "Testing" (for deeply discharged batteries), "Defective," "Charging," "Charged," "Energy Save Mode," "Temperature Delay" (for hot or cold batteries).

Usage Features:

Multi-Port Charging: The charger can accommodate up to six Ryobi ONE+ Lithium-Ion battery packs simultaneously, charging them in sequence.
LED Indicators: Each battery port has an LED indicator that communicates the battery's status:
- Red on: Battery In (Waiting for its turn to charge).
- Red flashing: Testing (Deeply discharged, pre-charging).
- Red fading: Defective (Battery pack or charger is defective).
- Green flashing: Charging (Battery is being charged).
- Green on: Charged (Battery full, charging complete).
- Green fading: Energy Save Mode (Battery full, charger in energy save mode).
- Orange flashing: Temperature Delay (Hot or cold battery pack, charging will begin when temperature normalizes).
USB Charging Port: An integrated USB port allows for charging of other compatible devices.
Wall Mountable: The charger is designed with keyhole hangers, allowing it to be securely mounted on a wall. The recommended spacing for mounting screws is 229 mm.
Temperature Management: The charger incorporates a temperature delay feature, preventing charging if a battery pack is too hot or too cold, and will commence charging once the battery reaches a suitable temperature. The recommended charging temperature range is 10°C to 25°C. For hot battery packs from continuous tool use, it's advised to let them cool for approximately 30 minutes before recharging.
Protection against Short Circuit: The design aims to protect battery contacts to prevent short circuits from metallic objects.
Disposal Guidance: Instructions are provided for proper disposal of defective battery packs and the charger itself, emphasizing recycling and avoiding household waste.
