CHARGING BATTERY PACK (30 MINUTE DUAL BAY-BC230)
CHARGER INDICATORS, SYMBOLS
AND MEANING
If the indicator lights are “OFF”, the charger is
not receiving power from power supply outlet.
If the red indicator light is “ON”,
the battery pack is too hot or
cold for fast-charging. The
charger will switch to trickle charge, until a
suitable temperature is reached, at which time
the charger will switch automatically to fast-
charging.
If the red indicator light is
“BLINKING”, the battery pack
cannot accept a charge or the
contacts of the charger or battery pack are
contaminated. Clean the contacts of the
charger or battery pack only as directed in
these operating instructions or those supplied
with your tool or battery pack.
If the green indicator light is
“BLINKING”, the battery pack
is being fast-charged. Fast-
charging will automatically stop when the
battery pack is fully charged.
If the green indicator light is
“ON”, the charger is plugged in
but the battery pack is not
inserted, or the battery pack is fully charged
and is being trickle charged.
Plug charger cord into your standard power
outlet. Before inserting battery pack, remove
protective cap, then insert battery pack into
charger (Fig. 11).
The charger’s green indicator light will begin to
“BLINK”. This indicates that the battery is
receiving a fast charge. Fast-charging will
automatically stop when the battery pack is
fully charged.
When the indicator light stops “BLINKING”
(and becomes a steady green light) fast
charging is complete.
The battery pack may be used even though
the light may still be blinking. The light may
require more time to stop blinking depending
on temperature. When you begin the charging
process of the battery pack, a steady red light
could also mean the battery pack is too hot or
too cold.
The purpose of the green light is to indicate
that the battery pack is fast-charging. It does
not indicate the exact point of full charge. The
light will stop blinking in less time if the battery
pack was not completely discharged.
When charging several batteries in sequence,
the charge time may slightly increase.
When the battery pack is fully charged, unplug
the charger (unless you're charging another
battery pack) and slip the battery pack back
into the tool.
To prevent fire or injury when
batteries are not in tool or
charger, always place protective cap onto end
of battery pack.
