BATTERY OPERATION
DIAGNOSTICS
The Model 8924 Charger is equipped with a diagnostic system that
automatically checks the battery pack each time a pack is inserted into the
charger. If no problems are found, the charger will automatically switch to
“Fast Charge” mode as described in "NORMAL CHARGING".
Make sure that the power circuit voltage is the same as that shown on the
charger specification plate. Connect the charger to the power source. The
red and green lights will flash once to indicate that power is connected
properly and the charger is ready for operation.
The charger indicator lights will indicate the following problems:
z If the green light flashes slowly after battery pack is inserted in
charger, the battery pack temperature is either too high or too low
for charging. If left alone, the charger will continue to monitor the
battery pack temperature and will begin charging when the
temperature reaches an acceptable level.
z If the red light flashes continuously, the battery pack has failed
(pack is not chargeable and requires replacement).
As a battery pack approaches the discharged state, you will notice a sharp
drop in tool performance. When the tool is unable to perform, recharge the
battery pack. Recharging the battery pack before this condition is reached
will reduce the total work life of the pack. Discharging the pack beyond this
point can damage the pack.
NOTE: Battery temperature will increase during and shortly after
use. Batteries may not accept a full charge if they are charged
immediately after use. Allow the battery pack to cool to room
temperature before charging for best results.
The battery charger may rest on the four pads provided on the bottom of the
case or be mounted on a wall by utilizing the two key hole slots provided.
Do not obstruct the vent slots in the top and bottom
of charger. Do not charge battery when temperature is BELOW
40°F(4.4°C) or ABOVE 104°F (40°C).
