Operation
5.1
Charging the battery pack
To charge the battery pack, slide all the
way onto the retainer
er.
To remove, slide off the charged battery
pack in similar fashion.
All Festool battery packs of the series BPS
and BPC can be loaded with the charger. The
charger automatically detects the type of the
inserted battery (NiCd, NiMH or Li Ion). A mi-
croprocessor controls the charging process in
line with the charging state, temperature and
voltage of the battery pack. If a warm NiMH
battery pack (> 37 °C) is inserted, the pack
is charged with a reduced charging current
and will take longer to charge.
The LED
[1-2]
on the charger indicates the
respective operating status of the charger.
LED yellow - lit continuously
Charger is ready to use.
LED green - flashing quickly
Battery pack is charged to maximum capac-
ity.
LED green - flashing slowly
Battery pack is charged with reduced cur-
rent, LiIon is charged to 80 %.
LED green - lit continuously
Battery pack is fully charged, or charging is
not started again, because the battery is
charged to more than 80 %.
LED red - flashing
General fault display, e.g. incomplete con-
tact, short circuit, battery pack faulty, etc.
LED red - lit continuously
Battery temperature is outside the permitted
range.
