Battery Type
The following tools operate on a 18 volt battery pack: DCD740.
These battery packs may be used: DCB181, DCB182, DCB183,
DCB183B, DCB183G, DCB184, DCB184B, DCB184G, DCB185,
DCB187, DCB189, DCB546, DCB547, DCB548. Refer to Technical
Data for moreinformation.
Labels on Charger and Battery Pack
In addition to the pictographs used in this manual, the
labels on the charger and the battery pack may show the
followingpictographs:
L
Read instruction manual beforeuse.
p
See Technical Data for chargingtime.
q
Do not probe with conductiveobjects.
r
Do not charge damaged batterypacks.
s
Do not expose towater.
t
Have defective cords replacedimmediately
u
Charge only between 4˚C and 40˚C.
v
Only for indooruse.
x
Discard the battery pack with due care for
theenvironment.
y
Charge DeWALT battery packs only with designated
DeWALT chargers. Charging battery packs other than
the designated DeWALT batteries with a DeWALT
charger may make them burst or lead to other
dangeroussituations.
z
Do not incinerate the batterypack.
B
USE (without transport cap). Example: Wh rating
indicates 108Wh (1battery with 108Wh).
A
TRANSPORT (with built-in transport cap). Example: Wh
rating indicates 3x 36Wh (3batteries of 36Wh).
In most instances, shipping a
DeWALT battery pack will be
excepted from being classified as a fully regulated Class
9Hazardous Material. In general, only shipments containing a
lithium-ion battery with an energy rating greater than 100Watt
Hours (Wh) will require being shipped as fully regulated Class 9.
All lithium-ion batteries have the Watt Hour rating marked on
the pack. Furthermore, due to regulation complexities,
DeWALT
does not recommend air shipping lithium-ion battery packs
alone regardless of Watt Hour rating. Shipments of tools with
batteries (combo kits) can be air shipped as excepted if the Watt
Hour rating of the battery pack is no greater than 100Wh.
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
documentationrequirements.
The information provided in this section of the manual is
provided in good faith and believed to be accurate at the time

activities comply with the applicableregulations.
Transporting the FLEXVOLT
TM
Battery
The
DeWALT FLEXVOLT
TM
battery has two modes: Use
andTransport.
Use Mode: When the FLEXVOLT
TM
battery stands alone or is in
a
DeWALT 18V product, it will operate as an 18V battery. When
the FLEXVOLT
TM
battery is in a 54V or a 108V (two 54V batteries)
product, it will operate as a 54Vbattery.
Transport Mode: When the cap is attached to the FLEXVOLT
TM
battery, the battery is in Transport mode. Keep the cap
forshipping.
When in Transport mode, strings
of cells are electrically
disconnected within the pack
resulting in 3batteries with a
lower Watt hour (Wh) rating as compared to 1battery with a
higher Watt hour rating. This increased quantity of 3batteries
with the lower Watt hour rating can exempt the pack from
certain shipping regulations that are imposed upon the higher
Watt hour batteries.
For example, the Transport
Wh rating might indicate
3x36Wh, meaning
3batteries of 36Wh each.
The Use Wh rating might
indicate 108Wh (1batteryimplied).
Storage Recommendations
1. The best storage place is one that is cool and dry away
from direct sunlight and excess heat or cold. For optimum
battery performance and life, store battery packs at room
temperature when not inuse.
2. For long storage, it is recommended to store a fully charged
battery pack in a cool, dry place out of the charger for
optimalresults.
NOTE: Battery packs should not be stored completely depleted
of charge. The battery pack will need to be recharged beforeuse.
