charger diagnOSticS
This charger is designed to detect certain problems that can arise with the battery packs or the
power source. Problems are indicated by one LED flashing in different patterns.
bad battery
The charger can detect a weak or damaged battery. The red LED flashes in the pattern
indicated on the label. If you see this bad battery blink pattern, do not continue to charge the
battery. Return it to a service center or a collection site for recycling.
hOt/cOld pack delay
When the charger detects a battery that is excessively hot or excessively cold, it automatically
starts a Hot/Cold Pack Delay, suspending charging until the battery has normalized.
After this happens, the charger automatically switches to the Pack Charging mode. This
feature ensures maximum battery life. The red LED flashes in the pattern indicated on the
label when the hot / cold pack delay is detected.
leaving the battery in the charger
The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the green LED glowing indefinitely. The
charger will keep the battery pack fresh and fully charged.
iMpOrtant charging nOteS
1. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery pack is charged when the air
temperature is between 60°F and 80°F (16°- 27°C). DO NOT charge the battery pack in an air
temperature below +40°F (+4.5°C), or above +105°F (+40.5°C). This is important and will prevent
serious damage to the battery pack.
2. The charger and battery pack may become warm to 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.
