NOTE: To ensure maximum performance and life
of lithium-ion batteries, charge the battery pack fully
before first use.
Charging Process
Refer to the table below for the charge status of the
battery pack.
Charge indicators: DCB105

*DCB107, DCB112, DCB113, DCB115: The
red light will continue to blink, but a yellow
indicator light will be illuminated during this
operation. Once the battery 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 that is too hot
or too cold, it automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack
Delay, suspending charging until the battery has
reached an appropriate temperature. The charger
then automatically switches to the pack charging
mode. This feature ensures maximum battery life.
A cold battery pack will charge at about half the
rate of 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 warms.
LITHIUM-ION BATTERY PACKS ONLY
XR Li-Ion tools are designed with an Electronic
Protection System that will protect the battery
against overloading, overheating or deep discharge.
in a position away from any heat source. The
charger is ventilated through slots in the top and
the bottom of the housing.
• Do not operate charger with damaged cord
or plug—have them replaced immediately.
• Do not operate charger if it has received
a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise
damaged in any way. Take it to an authorised
service centre.
• Do not disassemble charger; take it to an
authorised service centre when service or
repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may
result in a risk of electric shock, electrocution or
fire.
• In case of damaged power supply cord the
supply cord must be replaced immediately by
the 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.

eWALT chargers require no adjustment and are
designed to be as easy as possible to operate.
Charging Procedure (Fig. 2)
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet
before inserting battery pack.
2. Slide the battery pack (J) into the charger
ensuring that it is firmly seated and locked
in place. The red (charging) light will blink
continuously indicating that the charging
process has started.
3. The completion of charge will be indicated by
the red light remaining ON continuously. The
pack is fully charged and may be used at this
time or left in the charger.

SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR LITHIUM-ION
(LI-ION)
• Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it
is severely damaged or is completely worn
out. The battery pack can explode in a fire.
Toxic fumes and materials are created when
lithium-ion battery packs are burned.
• If battery contents come into contact with
the skin, immediately wash area with mild
soap and water. If battery liquid gets into the
eye, rinse water over the open eye for
15 minutes or until irritation ceases. 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.
Transportation
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,
the two instances that require shipping Class 9 are:
1. Air shipping more than two
DeWALT lithium-ion
battery packs when the package contains only
battery packs (no tools), and
2. Any shipment containing a lithium-ion battery
with an energy rating greater than 100 watt
hours (Wh). All lithium-ion batteries have the
watt hour rating marked on the pack.
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 tool will automatically turn off if the Electronic
Protection System engages. If this occurs, place
the lithium-ion battery on the charger until it is fully
charged.
Important Safety Instructions for All
Battery Packs
When ordering replacement battery packs, be sure
to include catalog number and voltage.
The battery pack is not fully charged out of the
carton. Before using the battery pack and charger,
read the safety instructions below. Then follow
charging procedures outlined.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not charge or use battery in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Inserting
or removing the battery from the charger may
ignite the dust or fumes.
• Never force battery pack into charger. Do
not modify battery pack in any way to fit into
a non-compatible charger as battery pack
may rupture causing serious personal injury.
• Charge the battery packs only in
DeWALT
chargers.
• DO NOT splash or immerse in water or other
liquids.
• Do not store or use the tool and battery
pack in locations where the temperature
may reach or exceed 40 ˚C (104 ˚F) (such as
outside sheds or metal buildings in summer).
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.
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.
