CHARGING A HOT BATTERY PACK
When using the tool continuously, the batteries in the battery
pack will become hot. You should let a hot battery pack cool
down for approximately 30 minutes before attempting to
recharge. When the battery pack becomes discharged and
is hot, this will cause the green LED to come on instead of
the red LED. After 30 minutes, reinsert the battery pack in
the charger. If the green LED continues to remain on, return
battery pack to your nearest Ryobi Authorized Service Center
for checking or replacing.
NOTE: This situation only occurs when continuous use of
the tool causes the batteries to become hot. It does not
occur under normal circumstances. Refer to “CHARGING
A COOL BATTERY PACK” for normal recharging of batter-
ies. If the charger does not charge your battery pack under
normal circumstances, return both the battery pack and
charger to your nearest Ryobi Authorized Service Center
for electrical check.
