*If you charge
a
battery cartridge from
a
just-operated tool or
a
battery cartridge which has
been
left
in
a
location exposed to direct sunlight or heat for
a
long time, the charging light
may flash in red color. If this occurs, wait for
a
while. Charging will begin after the battery
cartridge
cools.
The battery cartridge will cool faster if you remove the battery cartridge
from the high capacity battery charger.
*If the charging light flashes alternately in green and red color,
a
problem exists and charg
ing is not possible. The terminals on the charger or battery cartridge are clogged with
dust or the battery cartridge is worn out or damaged.
