outside sheds or metal buildings in summer).
WARNING:
open the battery pack for any reason. If battery
pack case is cracked or damaged, do not insert
into charger. Do not crush, drop or damage
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 (i.e.,
pierced with a nail, hit with a hammer, stepped
on). Damaged battery packs should be returned
to service center for recycling.
WARNING:
not store or carry battery so that metal
objects can contact exposed battery
terminals. For example, do not place battery
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 (i.e., packed in suitcases and
carry-on luggage) UNLESS they are properly
protected from short circuits. So when
transporting individual batteries, make sure
that the battery terminals are protected and
well insulated from materials that could
contact them and cause a short circuit.
NOTE:
Lithium-Ion batteries should not
be put in checked baggage.

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: Do not store the battery packs in
a tool with the trigger switch locked on.
Never tape the trigger switch in the ON
position.
NOTE: Battery packs should not be stored
completely depleted of charge. The battery pack
will need to be recharged before use.

CHARGING PROCEDURE

BLACK+DECKER chargers are designed to
charge BLACK+DECKER battery packs.
NOTE: To ensure maximum performance
and life of lithium ion BATTERY PACKS:
• Charge the battery pack fully before first use.
• Recharge discharged batteries as soon
a possible after every use.
• Do not discharge batteries fully.
Never attempt to

**All charge times are approximate. Actual charge time may vary.
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.
LEAVING THE BATTERY IN THE CHARGER
The charger and battery pack can be left
connected with the green LED glowing
indefinitely. The charger will keep the battery
pack fresh and fully charged.
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),
charge)
