Protective charging
3. During charging, the charging lamp
will light up.
When the charge is completed, an
internal electronic switch will auto-
matically be triggered to prevent
overcharging.
Charging will not occur if the bat-
tery pack is warm (for example,
immediately after heavy-duty
operation). The orange standby
lamp will light up until the battery
becomes cool. Charging will then
begin automatically.
4. When charging is completed, the
charging lamp will start flashing
quickly.
5. When the battery pack has not
been used for a long time, the
charging lamp starts flashing slow-
ly to indicate protective charging.
Protective charging takes longer to
fully charge the battery pack, than
the standard charging time. (Max.
charging time is approx. 90 min-
utes.)
If a fully charged battery pack is
inserted into the charger again,
the charging lamp may light up.
After several minutes, the charging
lamp may flash quickly to indicate
the charging is completed.
6. If the charging lamp does not light
immediately after the charger is
plugged in, or if after the standard
charging time the lamp does not go
off, consult an authorized dealer.
Note: When a cold battery (of about
5°C (41°F) or less) is to be
charged in a warm room,
leave the battery in the room
for at least one hour and
charge it when it has warmed
up to room temperature.
(Failing to do so may result in
less than a full charge.)
Cool down the charger when
charging more than two bat-
terypacks consecutively.
Do not insert your fingers
into contact hole, when
holding charger or any other
occasions.
CAUTION: Do not use power source
from an engine genera-
tor.
Do not cover vent holes
on the charger and the
battery pack.
