Charging
Note: When you charge the battery pack for the
first time, or after prolonged storage,
charge it for about 24 hours to bring the
battery up to full capacity.
Battery charger (EY0110)
1. Plug the charger into the AC outlet.
Note: Sparks may be produced when the plug is
inserted into the AC power supply, but this
is not a problem in terms of safety.
2. Insert the battery pack firmly into the charger.
3. During charging, the charging lamp will be lit.
When charging is completed, an internal elec-
tronic switch will automatically be triggered to
prevent overcharging.
• Charging will not start if the battery pack is
warm (for example, immediately after
heavy-duty operation).
The orange standby lamp will be lit until the
battery cools down. Charging will then
begin automatically.
4. When charging is completed, the charging
lamp will start flashing quickly in green color.
5. When in any of the conditions that battery
pack is too cool, or the battery pack has not
been used for a long time, the charging lamp
is lit. In this case, charging takes longer to fully
charge the battery pack, than the stan¦dard
charging time.
• If a fully charged battery pack is inserted
into the charger again, the charging lamp
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 immedi-
ately 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 charging a cool battery pack
(below 5°C (41°F)) in a warm place,
leave the battery pack at the place and
wait for more than one hour to warm up
the battery to the level of the ambient
temperature. Otherwise battery pack
may not be fully charged.
• Cool down the charger when charging
more than two battery packs consecu-
tively.
• Do not insert your fingers into contact
hole, when holding charger or any other
occasions.
CAUTION: • Do not use power source from an
engine generator.
• Do not cover vent holes on the
charger and the battery pack.
• Unplug the charger when not in
use.
