DeWalt XR LI-ION DCS350 Notice D'instructions page 37

D WALT chargers require no adjustment and are
e
designed to be as easy as possible to operate.
Charging Procedure (Fig. 2)
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet
before inserting battery pack.
2. Insert the battery pack (G) into the charger.
The red (charging) light will blink continuously
indicating that the charging process has
started.
3. The completion of charge will be indicated by
the red light remaining ON continuously. The
pack is fully charged and may be used at this
time or left in the charger.
NOTE: To ensure maximum performance and life
of lithium-ion batteries, charge the battery pack fully
before first use.

Refer to the table below for the charge status of the

*DCB107, DCB112, DCB113, DCB115:
The red light will continue to blink, but a yellow
indicator light will be illuminated during this
operation. Once the battery has reached an
appropriate temperature, the yellow light will turn
off and the charger will resume the charging
procedure.
The compatible charger(s) will not charge a faulty
battery pack. The charger will indicate faulty battery
by refusing to light or by displaying problem pack or
charger blink pattern.
NOTE: This could also mean a problem with a
charger.
If the charger indicates a problem, take the charger
and battery pack to be tested at an authorised
service centre.
HOT/COLD PACK DELAY
When the charger detects a battery that is too hot
or too cold, it automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack
Delay, suspending charging until the battery has
reached an appropriate temperature. The charger
then automatically switches to the pack charging
mode. This feature ensures maximum battery life.
A cold battery pack will charge at about half the
rate of a warm battery pack. The battery pack will
charge at that slower rate throughout the entire
charging cycle and will not return to maximum
charge rate even if the battery warms.
LITHIUM ION BATTERY PACKS ONLY
XR Li-Ion tools are designed with an Electronic
Protection System that will protect the battery
against overloading, overheating or deep discharge.
The tool will automatically turn off if the Electronic
Protection System engages. If this occurs, place
the lithium-ion battery on the charger until it is fully
charged.

to include catalog number and voltage.
