Charging Procedure - Porter Cable PCC607 Manuel D'instructions

Charging Procedure

PORTER-CABLE chargers are designed
to charge PORTER-CABLE battery
packs. Charge times are: PCC690L in
40-80 mins., PCC699L /PCC691L in
70-140 mins., PCC692/PCC692L in 40-80
mins., and PCC695L in 180-360 mins.
depending on the pack being charged.
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate
outlet before inserting the battery pack.
2. Insert the battery pack into the charger.
3. The LED will flash indicating that
the battery is being charged.
4. The completion of charge is indicated
by the LED remaining on continuously.
The pack is fully charged and may be used at
this time or left on the charger.
Recharge discharged batteries as soon
as possible after use or battery life
may be greatly diminished. For longest
battery life, do not discharge batteries
fully. It is recommended that the batteries
be recharged after each use.
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 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 light flashes in
the pattern indicated on the label.
Problem Power Line
When the charger is used with some
portable power sources such as
generators or sources that convert DC to
AC, the charger may temporarily suspend
operation. The LED flashes in the pattern
indicated on the label. This indicates that
the power source is out of limits.
Leaving the Battery in the Charger
The charger and battery pack can be
left connected with the LED glowing
indefinitely. The charger will keep the
battery pack fresh and fully charged.
This charger features an automatic tune-
up mode which equals or balances the
individual cells in the battery pack to allow
it to function at peak capacity. Battery
packs should be tuned up weekly or
whenever the battery no longer delivers the
same amount of work. To use the automatic
tune-up mode, place the battery pack in the
charger and leave it for at least 8 hours.
Important Charging Notes
1. Longest life and best performance can
be obtained if the battery pack is charged
when the air temperature is between 65°F
and 75°F (18°- 24°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.
3. If the battery pack does not charge
properly:
a. Check current at receptacle by
plugging in a lamp or other appliance
b. Check to see if receptacle is
connected to a light switch which turns
power off when you turn out the lights.
c. Move charger and battery pack to a
location where the surrounding air
temperature is approximately 65°F -
75°F (18°- 24°C).
d. If charging problems persist, take
the tool, battery pack and charger to
your local service center.
4. The battery pack should be recharged
when it fails to produce sufficient power
on jobs which were easily done previously.
DO NOT CONTINUE to use under these
conditions. Follow the charging procedure.
You may also charge a partially used pack
whenever you desire with no adverse
affect on the battery pack.
