lamp will be lit.
When charging is completed, an
internal electronic switch will auto­
matically be triggered to prevent
overcharging.
• Charging will not start if the bat­
tery pack is warm (for example,
immediately after heavy-duty
operation). The orange standby
lamp will be lit until the battery
cools down. Charging wiil then
begin automatically.
4. When charging is completed, the
charging lamp will start flashing
rapidly.
5. If the charger is too hot by charg­
ing more than two battery packs
consecutively, charging a battery
pack that has not been used for a
long time or the ambient tempera­

al minutes, the charging lamp
may flash quickly to indicate the
