Fuel Gauge Battery Packs
Some DEWALT battery packs include a fuel gauge
which consists of three green LED lights that indicate
the level of charge remaining in the battery pack.
The fuel gauge is an indication of approximate levels
of charge remaining in the battery pack according to
the following indicators:
75–100% charged
51–74% charged
< 50% charged
Pack needs to be charged
To actuate the fuel gauge, press and hold the fuel
gauge button. A combination of the three green LED
lights will illuminate designating the level of charge
left. When the level of charge in the battery is below
the usable limit, the fuel gauge will not illuminate and
the battery will need to be recharged.

NOTE: The fuel gauge is only an indication of the
charge left on the battery pack. It does not indicate tool
functionality and is subject to variation based on product
components, temperature and end-user application.

packs please call 1-800-4-DeWALT (1-800-433-9258) or

The RBRC® Seal
The RBRC® (Rechargeable Battery
Recycling Corporation) Seal on the
nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride or
lithium-ion batteries (or battery packs)
indicates that the costs to recycle these batteries
(or battery packs) at the end of their useful life have
already been paid by DEWALT. In some areas, it is illegal
to place spent nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride
or lithium-ion batteries in the trash or municipal
solid waste stream and the Call 2 Recycle® program
provides an environmentally conscious alternative.
Call 2 Recycle, Inc., in cooperation with DEWALT and
other battery users, has established the program in the
United States and Canada to facilitate the collection
of spent nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride or
lithium-ion batteries. Help protect our environment
and conserve natural resources by returning the spent
nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride or lithium-ion
batteries to an authorized DEWALT service center or to
your local retailer for recycling. You may also contact
your local recycling center for information on where
to drop off the spent battery. RBRC® is a registered

Important Safety Instructions for All
Battery Packs
WARNING: Read all safety warnings and all
instructions for the battery pack, charger and
power tool. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire or
serious injury.
• DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack
with any chargers other than the ones in
this manual. The charger and battery pack are
specifically 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 fire,
electric shock or electrocution.
• Do not expose the charger to rain or snow.
• Pull by the plug rather than the cord when
disconnecting the charger. This will reduce the
risk of damage to the electric plug and cord.
• Make sure that the 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 fire, 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.
• An extension cord must have adequate wire size
(AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The
smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater
the capacity of the cable, that is, 16 gauge has
more capacity than 18 gauge. An undersized cord
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. When using more than one
extension to make up the total length, be sure each
individual extension contains at least the minimum
wire size. The following table shows the correct size
to use depending on cord length and nameplate
ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge. The lower the gauge number, the heavier
the cord.
