charger has switched to its “equalize charge” mode which lasts approxi
mately 4 hours, after which the charger will switch to “maintenance charge”
mode. The battery pack can be removed at any time during these charge
cycles, but will only be fully charged if the red light is continuously ON. The
charger and battery pack can be left connected with the red light glowing
indefinitely. The charger will keep the battery pack fresh and fully charged. A
battery pack will slowly lose its charge when kept out of the charger. If the
battery pack has not been kept on maintenance charge, it may need to be
recharged before use. A battery pack may also slowly lose its charge if left in
a charger that is not plugged into an appropriate AC source.
Trouble Indicators:
These chargers are designed to detect certain problems
that can arise with battery packs which would be indicated by the red light
flashing at a fast rate (and continuous beeping for 98020, 98014, 97014). If
this occurs, re-insert battery pack. If problem persists, try a different battery
pack to determine if the charger is OK. If the new pack charges correctly,
then the original pack is defective and should be returned to a service center
for recycling. If the new battery pack elicits the same trouble indication as
the original, have charger tested at an authorized service center.
Problem Power Line (97015,97016)
When these chargers are used with some portable power sources such as
generators or sources that convert DC to AC, the chargers may temporarily
suspend operation,
flashing the red light with two fast blinks followed by a
pause.
This indicates the power source is out of limits.
Hot Pack Delay (97016):
When the charger detects a battery that is hot, it automatically starts a Hot
Pack Delay, suspending charging until the battery has cooled. After the bat
tery has cooled, the charger automatically switches to the Pack Charging
mode. This feature ensures maximum battery life. The red light flashes long,
then short while in the Hot Pack Delay mode.
Installing and Removing the Battery Pack
NOTE:
Make sure your battery pack is fully charged. To install the battery
pack into the tool handle, align the base of the tool with the notch inside the
tool’s handle and slide the battery pack firmly into the handle until you hear
the lock snap into place as shown in Figure 2.
To remove the battery pack from the tool, press the release buttons and firm
ly pull the battery pack out of the tool handle. Insert it into the charger as
described in the charger section of this manual.
Important Charging Notes
1. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery pack is
charged when the air temperature is between 65°F and 75°F (18°- 24°C).
DO NOT charge the battery pack in an air temperature below
+40°F(+4.5°C), or above +105°F (+40.5°C). This is important and will pre
vent serious damage to the battery pack.
2. The charger and battery pack may become warm to touch while charging.
