The Internal Battery; Battery Replacement; Safe Battery Disposal - DeWalt DXAELJ16 Instruction Manual

Except for the fuse in the 12V DC/USB Charging Adapter, there
are no user-replaceable parts. Periodically inspect the condition of
adapters, connectors and wires. Contact manufacturer to replace any
components that have become worn or broken.

THE INTERNAL BATTERY

All batteries lose energy from self-discharge over time and more rapidly
at higher temperatures. When the unit is not in use, we recommend
that the battery is charged at least every 3-6 months.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

The battery should last the service life of the unit. Service life is
dependent on a number of factors including but not limited to the
number of recharge cycles, and proper care and maintenance of the
battery by the end user. Contact manufacturer for any information you
may need.

SAFE BATTERY DISPOSAL

Contains a lithium battery, which must be disposed of
properly. Recycling is required. Failure to comply with
local, state and federal regulations can result in fines, or
imprisonment.
Please recycle.
WARNING – To reduce the risk of serious injury or property
damage:
• Do not dispose of the battery in fire as this may result in an explosion.
• Before disposing of the battery, protect exposed terminals with
heavy-duty electrical tape to prevent shorting (shorting can result
in injury or fire).
• Do not expose battery to fire or intense heat as it may explode.
12 VOLT DC/USB ADAPTER PLUG FUSE REPLACEMENT
(OPTIONAL ACCESSORY)
The fuse in the plug end of the 12 Volt DC/USB Adapter protects the
adapter's charging circuit. If the built-in 120 Volt AC Charger operates,
but the DC charging adapter does not, then this fuse may be opened
(blown).
To replace the fuse:
1. Unscrew the end cap of the DC plug (counterclockwise).
2. Remove spring center contact and fuse.
3. Check fuse with a continuity checker.
4. If blown, locate a replacement 2 amp.
5. Replace the fuse, spring, contact and end cap.
6. Screw end cap clockwise until it is finger tight –
DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN.
7. Test for proper operation of the 12 volt DC
charging adapter.
