Indicators, symbols and
meaning
If the indicator lights are “OFF”, the charger is not receiving
power from power supply outlet.
If the red indicator light is “ON”, the battery
pack is too hot or cold for fast-charging. The
charger will switch to trickle charge, until a
suitable temperature is reached, at which time the charger
will switch automatically to fast-charging.
If the red indicator light is “BLINKING”, the
battery pack cannot accept a charge or the
contacts of the charger or battery pack are
contaminated. Clean the contacts of the charger or battery
pack only as directed in these operating instructions or
those supplied with your tool or battery pack.
If the green indicator light is “BLINKING”, the
battery pack is being fast-charged. Fast-
charging will automatically stop when the
battery pack is fully charged.
If the green indicator light is “ON”, the charger
is plugged in but the battery pack is not
inserted, or the battery pack is fully charged
and is being trickle charged.
Charging Battery Pack
(30 Minute Dual Bay-BC230)
Plug charger cord into your standard power outlet. Before
inserting battery pack
1, remove protective cap 2, then insert
battery pack
1 into charger 3 (Fig. 37).
The charger’s green indicator
4 will begin to “BLINK”. This
indicates that the battery is receiving a fast charge. Fast-
charging will automatically stop when the battery pack is fully
charged.
When the indicator light stops “BLINKING” (and becomes a
steady green light) fast charging is complete.
The battery pack may be used even though the light may still
be blinking. The light may require more time to stop blinking
depending on temperature. When you begin the charging
process of the battery pack, a steady red light
5 could also
mean the battery pack is too hot or too cold.
The purpose of the green light is to indicate that the battery
pack is fast-charging. It does not indicate the exact point of full
charge. The light will stop blinking in less time if the battery
pack was not completely discharged.
When charging several batteries in sequence, the charge time
may slightly increase.
When the battery pack is fully charged, unplug the charger
(unless you're charging another battery pack) and slip the
battery pack back into the tool.
To prevent fire or injury when batteries are not in tool or
charger, always place protective cap onto end of battery
pack.
