manufacturer, its service agent or similar qualified
person to prevent any hazard.
• Disconnect the charger from the outlet before
attempting any cleaning. This will reduce the risk of
electric shock. Removing the battery pack will not
reduce this risk.
• NEVER attempt to connect two chargers together.
• The charger is designed to operate on standard 230V
household electrical power. Do not attempt to use it
on any other voltage. This does not apply to the
vehicular charger.
Charging a Battery (Fig. B)
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before
inserting battery pack.
2. Insert the battery pack 1 into the charger, making
sure the battery pack is fully seated in the charger. The
red (charging) light will blink repeatedly indicating that
the charging process has started.
3. The completion of charge will be indicated by the red
light remaining ON continuously. The battery pack is
fully charged and may be used at this time or left in
the charger. To remove the battery pack from the
charger, push the battery release button 2 on the
battery pack.
nOTE: To ensure maximum performance and life of
lithium‑ ion battery packs, charge the battery pack fully
before first use.
Charger Operation
Refer to the indicators below for the charge status of the
battery pack.
* 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. 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.
Electronic Protection system
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
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 back of the charger as a
template for the location of the mounting screws on the
wall. Mount the charger securely using drywall screws
(purchased separately) at least 25.4 mm long with a
screw head diameter of 7–9 mm, screwed into wood to
an optimal depth leaving approximately 5.5 mm of the
screw exposed. Align the slots on the back of the charger
with the exposed screws and fully engage them in the
slots.
Charger Cleaning Instructions
WARNING: Shock hazard. Disconnect the charger
from the AC outlet before cleaning. Dirt and grease
may be removed from the exterior of the charger using
a cloth or soft non
‑
metallic brush. Do not use water or
