O RIGINAL INSTRU CT I ON
Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR). Lithium-ion cells and batteries have been tested to section 38.3 of
the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods Manual of Tests and Criteria. In most
instances, shipping a DEWALT battery pack will be excepted from being classifi ed as a fully regulated Class
9 Hazardous Material. In general, only shipments containing a lithium-ion battery with an energy rating
greater than 100 Watt Hours (Wh) will require being shipped as fully regulated Class 9. All lithium-ion
batteries have the Watt Hour rating marked on the pack. Furthermore, due to regulation complexities,
DEWALT does not recommend air shipping lithium-ion battery packs alone regardless of Watt Hour rating.
Shipments of tools with batteries (combo kits) can be air shipped as excepted if the Watt Hour rating of
the battery pack is no greater than 100 Whr. Regardless of whether a shipment is considered excepted
or fully regulated, it is the shipper's responsibility to consult the latest regulations for packaging, labeling/
marking and documentation requirements. The information provided in this section of the manual is
provided in good faith and believed to be accurate at the time the document was created. However, no
warranty, expressed or implied, is given. It is the buyer's responsibility to ensure that its activities comply
with the applicable regulations.
SHIPPING THE DEWALT FLEXVOLT™ BATTERY
The DEWALT FLEXVOLT™ battery has two modes: Use
and Shipping.
Use Mode: When the FLEXVOLT™ battery stands alone
or is in a DEWALT 20V Max* product, it will operate as
a 20V Max* battery. When the FLEXVOLT™ battery is in
a 60V Max* or a 120V Max* (two 60V Max* batteries)
product, it will operate as a 60V Max* battery.
Shipping Mode: When the cap is attached to the FLEXVOLT™ battery, the battery is in Shipping Mode.
Strings of cells are electrically disconnected within the pack resulting in three batteries with a lower Watt
hour (Wh) rating as compared to one battery with a higher Watt hour rating. This increased quantity of
three batteries with the lower Watt hour rating can exempt the pack from certain shipping regulations that
are imposed upon the higher Watt hour batteries.
The battery label indicates two Watt hour ratings (see example). Depending on how the battery is shipped,
the appropriate Watt hour rating must be used to determine the applicable shipping requirements. If
utilizing the shipping cap, the pack will be considered 3 batteries at the Watt hour rating indicated for
"Shipping". If shipping without the cap or in a tool, the pack will be considered one battery at the Watt
hour rating indicated next to "Use".
For example, Shipping Wh rating might indicate 3 x 40 Wh, meaning 3 batteries of 40 Watt hours each.
The Use Wh rating might indicate 120 Wh (1 battery implied).
1.3.3 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL BATTERY CHARGERS
• DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack with any chargers other than the ones in this manual. The
charger and battery pack are specifi cally designed to work together.
• These chargers are not intended for any uses other than charging DEWALT rechargeable
batteries. Any other uses may result in risk of fi re, electric shock or electrocution.
• Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
• Pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting charger. This will reduce risk of damage to
electric plug and cord.
• Make sure that cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise
subjected to damage or stress.
• Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension
cord could result in risk of fi re, electric shock, or electrocution.
• When operating a charger outdoors, always provide a dry location and use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
