CHARGING A HOT BATTERY PACK
When using the tool continuously, the batteries in the
battery pack will become hot. You should let a hot bat-
tery pack cool down for approximately 30 minutes before
attempting to recharge.
NOTE: This situation only occurs when continuous use of
the drill causes the batteries to become hot. It does not
occur under normal circumstances. Refer to
“CHARGING
THE BATTERY PACK” for normal recharging of batteries.
If the charging assembly does not charge the battery pack
under normal circumstances, return both the battery pack
and charging assembly to your nearest Ryobi Authorized
Service Center for electrical check.
