APPLICATIONS
You may use this product for the following purpose:

Charging compatible Ryobi 18 volt battery packs. For
compatible battery packs see tool/appliance/battery
pack/charger correlation supplement 987000-432.
NOTICE:
If at any point during the charging process none of the
LEDs are lit, remove the battery pack from the charger
to avoid damaging the product. DO NOT insert another
battery. Return the charger and battery to your nearest
authorized service center for service or replacement.
NOTICE:
Charge in a well ventilated area. Do not block charger
vents. Keep them clear to allow proper ventilation.
CHARGING
See Figure 2, page 9.
Battery packs are shipped in a low charge condition to
prevent possible problems. Therefore, you should charge
them before first use.
If the charger does not charge your battery pack under normal
circumstances, return both the battery pack and charger to
your nearest repair center for electrical check.

Make sure the power supply is normal household voltage,
120 volts, AC only, 60 Hz.
 Connect the charger to a power supply.
 Attach the battery pack to the charger by aligning the
raised ribs on the battery pack with the grooves in the
charger, then slide the battery pack onto the charger.
 Press down on the battery pack to be sure contacts on
the battery pack engage properly with contacts in the
charger.
 Do not place the charger in an area of extreme heat or
cold. It will work best at normal room temperature.
 The battery pack may become slightly warm to the touch
while charging. This is normal and does not indicate a
problem.
 After charging is complete, the green LEDs will remain
on while the charger is in Maintenance Mode.
 After completing Maintenance Mode, the green LEDs
will begin fading on/off continuously. This indicates the
battery is fully charged and the charger is in Energy Save
Mode.
 Charger will periodically wake from Energy Save Mode to
ensure the battery pack remains in a fully charged state.
 To remove the battery pack from the charger, depress
latches and pull up on the battery pack.
CHARGING A HOT BATTERY PACK
When using a tool continuously, the battery pack may
become hot. A hot battery pack may be placed directly
onto the charger port but charging will not begin until the
battery temperature cools to within acceptable temperature
range. When a hot battery pack is placed on the charger,
the red LED will begin flashing and the green LED will be off.
When the battery pack cools, the charger will automatically
begin charging.
CHARGING A COLD BATTERY PACK
A cold battery pack may be placed directly onto the charger
port but charging will not begin until the battery temperature
warms to within acceptable temperature range. When a cold
battery pack is placed on the charger, the red LED will begin
flashing and the green LED will be off. When the battery
pack warms, the charger will automatically begin charging.
