Charg er Operation
Refer to the indicators
below for the charge
status of the battery
pack.
* DCB107, DCB112,
DCB113, DCB115,
DCB118, DCB132:
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
pack by refusing to light
or by displaying a
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
authorized service
center. 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
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 lithiumion battery pack on the charger until it is fully
charged.
Wall Mounting
DCB107, DCB112, DCB113, DCB115, DCB118, DCB132 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 1" (25.4 mm) long,
with a screw head diameter of 0.28–0.35" (7–9 mm), screwed into wood to an
optimal depth leaving approximately 7/32" (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 any cleaning
solutions.
Important Charging Notes
1. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery pack is charged
when the air temperature is between 65 °F and 75 °F (18 ° – 24 °C). DO NOT
charge the battery pack in an air temperature below +40 °F (+4.5 °C), or above
+104 °F (+40 °C). This is important and will prevent serious damage to the
battery pack.
2. The charger and battery pack may become warm to the touch while charging.
This is a normal condition, and does not indicate a problem. To facilitate the
cooling of the battery pack after use, avoid placing the charger or battery pack
in a warm environment such as in a metal shed or an uninsulated trailer.
3. If the battery pack does not charge properly:
a. Check operation of receptacle by plugging in a lamp
or other appliance;
b. Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light
switch which turns power off when you turn out the lights;
c. Move the charger and battery pack to a location
