deeply discharged or hot.
If battery pack is hot, red light should become
steady after battery pack has cooled down.
If battery pack is deeply discharged, red light
should become steady after voltage has increased,
normally within 60 minutes.
If after one hour red light is still flashing, this
indicates a defective battery pack and should be
replaced.
Green light on indicates battery pack is fully charged
and slow charging to maintain battery pack.
Yellow light on and red light flashing indicates
defective battery pack. Return battery pack to your
nearest Sears Repair Center for checking or
replacing.
When your battery pack becomes fully charged, the red

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR
RECHARGING HOT BA'n'ERIES
Under extreme continuous use, the batteries in your
battery pack will become hot. You should let a hot
battery pack cool down for approximately 1 hour
before attempting to recharge. When the battery pack
becomes discharged and is hot, this will cause the red
light on your battery charger to flash. When battery
pack cools down, red light will glow continuously
indicating fast charging mode, 1 hour charge time.
Once the battery pack cools down, it will recharge
battery pack in fast charging mode as normal.
Note: This situation only occurs when extreme
continuous use of your worklight causes the batteries
to become hot. It does not occur under normal
circumstances. Refer to "CHARGING BATTERY
PACK" for normal recharging of batteries. If the
charger does not charge your battery pack under
normal circumstances, return both the battery pack
and charger to your nearest Sears repair center for
electrical check.
