READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
Important Safety Instructions for All Battery Packs

WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions, and cautionary markings for the battery pack, charger and
product. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
• Do not charge or use the battery pack in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases
or dust. Inserting or removing the battery pack from the charger may ignite the dust or fumes.
• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or
other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause burns or a fire.
• NEVER force the battery pack into the charger. DO NOT modify the battery pack in any way to fit into a non-
compatible charger as battery pack may rupture causing serious personal injury. Consult the chart at the end of this
manual for compatibility of batteries and chargers.
• Charge the battery packs only in D WALT chargers.
e
• 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 104 °F (40 °C)
(such as outside sheds or metal buildings in summer). For best life store battery packs in a cool, dry location.
NOTE: Do not store the battery packs in a tool with the trigger switch locked on. Never tape the trigger switch in the
ON position.
• Do not expose battery pack or tool/appliance to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above
265 °F (130 °C) may cause explosion.
• 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 persist, seek
medical attention.

WARNING: Burn hazard. Battery liquid may be flammable if exposed to spark or flame.

WARNING: Fire hazard. Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the battery pack case is cracked or damaged,
do not insert into the charger. Do not crush, drop or damage the 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 (e.g., pierced with a nail, hit with a hammer, stepped
on). Damaged battery packs should be returned to the service center for recycling.
Storage Recommendations
1. The best storage place is one that is cool and dry, away from direct sunlight and excess heat or cold.
2. For long storage, it is recommended to store a fully charged battery pack in a cool dry place out of the charger for optimal
results.
NOTE: Battery packs should not be stored completely depleted of charge. The battery pack will need to be recharged before use.
Battery Pack Cleaning Instructions
Dirt and grease may be removed from the exterior of the battery using a cloth or soft non-metallic brush. Do not use water or
any cleaning solutions.
Fuel Gauge Battery Packs
Some D WALT battery packs include a fuel gauge which consists of three green LED lights that indicate the level of charge
e
remaining in the battery pack.
The fuel gauge is an indication of approximate levels of charge remaining in the battery pack according to the
following indicators:
To actuate the fuel gauge, press and hold the fuel gauge button. A combination of the three green LED lights will illuminate
designating the level of charge left. When the level of charge in the battery is below the usable limit, the fuel gauge will not
illuminate and the battery will need to be recharged.
NOTE: The fuel gauge is only an indication of the charge left on the battery pack. It does not indicate tool functionality and is
subject to variation based on product components, temperature and end-user application.
For more information regarding fuel gauge battery packs, please contact 1-800-4-D

Transportation

WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not store or carry the battery pack so that metal objects can contact exposed battery
terminals. For example, do not place the battery pack in aprons, pockets, tool boxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc., with
loose nails, screws, keys, etc. Transporting batteries can possibly cause fires if the battery terminals inadvertently
come in contact with conductive materials such as keys, coins, hand tools and the like. The US Department of
Transportation Hazardous Material Regulations (HMR) actually prohibit transporting batteries in commerce or on airplanes in
carry-on baggage UNLESS they are properly protected from short circuits. So when transporting individual battery packs, make
sure that the battery terminals are protected and well insulated from materials that could contact them and cause a short
circuit. NOTE: Li-ion batteries should not be put in checked baggage.
Shipping the D WALT FLEXVOLT™ Battery
e
The D WALT FLEXVOLT™ battery has two modes: Use and Shipping.
e
Use Mode: When the FLEXVOLT™ battery stands alone or is in a D
When the FLEXVOLT™ battery is in a 60V Max* or a 120V Max* (two 60V Max* batteries) product, it will operate as a 60V Max*
battery.
Shipping Mode: When the cap is attached to the FLEXVOLT™ battery, the battery is in Shipping Mode. Strings of cells are
electrically disconnected within the pack resulting in three batteries with a lower Watt hour (Wh) rating as compared to one
battery with a higher Watt hour rating. This increased quantity of three batteries with the lower Watt hour rating can exempt the
pack from certain shipping regulations that are imposed upon the higher Watt hour batteries.
The battery label indicates two Watt hour ratings (see example). Depending on how the battery is shipped, the appropriate
Watt hour rating must be used to determine the applicable shipping requirements. If utilizing the shipping cap, the pack will be
considered 3 batteries at the Watt hour rating indicated for "Shipping". If shipping without the cap or in a tool, the pack will be
considered one battery at the Watt hour rating indicated next to "Use".
Example of Use and Shipping Label Marking
USE: 120 Wh Shipping: 3 x 40 Wh
For example, Shipping Wh rating might indicate 3 x 40 Wh, meaning 3 batteries of 40 Watt hours each. The Use Wh rating might
indicate 120 Wh (1 battery implied).
The RBRC® Seal
The RBRC® (Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation) Seal on the nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride or
lithium-ion batteries (or battery packs) indicates that the costs to recycle these batteries (or battery packs) at
the end of their useful life have already been paid by D

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL BATTERY CHARGERS

WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions, and cautionary markings for the battery pack, charger and
product. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - The manual contains important safety and operating instructions.
•
• DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack with any chargers other than a D
battery packs are specifically designed to work together.
• These chargers are not intended for any uses other than charging D
result in risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
• Do not expose the charger to rain or snow.
• Pull by the plug rather than the cord when disconnecting the charger. This will reduce the risk of damage to the electric
plug and cord.
• Make sure that the cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over or otherwise subjected to damage
or stress.
• Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result in risk of fire,
electric shock or electrocution.
• When operating a charger outdoors, always provide a dry location and use an extension cord suitable for outdoor
use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
• An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller the gauge
number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that is, 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. An undersized cord
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. When using more than one extension to make up the
total length, be sure each individual extension contains at least the minimum wire size. The following table shows the correct
size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The lower the gauge
number, the heavier the cord.
