Charging Procedure - Black & Decker CM2060 Mode D'emploi

CHARGING PROCEDURE

Use only with BLACK+DECKER BDCAC60 Series
chargers. Use only with BLACK+DECKER 60V MAX*
batteries. BLACK+DECKER chargers are designed to
charge BLACK+DECKER battery packs.
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate
outlet before inserting the battery pack.
2. Insert the battery pack into the charger.
3. The green LED will flash
indicating that the battery is being
charged.
4. The completion of charge
is indicated by the green 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.
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.
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.
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 60°F
- 80°F (16° - 27°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.
5. Foreign materials of a conductive
nature such as, but not limited to, steel
wool, aluminum foil, or any buildup of
metallic particles should be kept away
from charger cavities. Always unplug the
charger from the power supply when there
is no battery pack in the cavity. Unplug
charger before attempting to clean.
6. Do not freeze or immerse charger in
water or any other liquid.
WARNING:
Do not allow any liquid to get inside
charger. NEVER ATTEMPT TO OPEN THE
BATTERY PACK FOR ANY REASON. IF
THE PLASTIC HOUSING OF THE
BATTERY PACK BREAKS OR CRACKS,
RETURN TO A SERVICE CENTER FOR
RECYCLING.
BATTERY STATE OF
CHARGE INDICATOR
The side of the battery is equipped with a state
of charge indicator. This can be used to display
the current level of charge in the battery during
use and during charging. It does not indicate
tool functionality and is subject to variation
based on product components, temperature
and end-user application.
CHECKING STATE OF CHARGE DURING USE:
• Press the state of charge indicator
button (A1).
• The three LED's (A2) will illuminate
indicating the percent of charge in the
8
SHOCK HAZARD.
