APPLICATIONS
You may use this product for the following purpose:
 Charging compatible RIDGID 18 Volt battery packs
NOTICE:
If at any point during the charging process none
of the LEDs are lit, remove the battery pack from
the charger to avoid damaging the product. DO
NOT insert another battery. Return the charger and
battery to your nearest authorized service center
for service or replacement.
NOTICE:
Charge in a well-ventilated area. Do not block
charger vents. Keep them clear to allow proper
ventilation.
KEY HOLE HANGER
See Figure 1, page 7.
The charger has a key hole hanging feature for convenient,
space saving storage. Screws should be installed so that
the center distance is 4-1/8 in.
CHARGING
See Figure 2, page 7.
Battery packs are shipped in a low charge condition to
prevent possible problems. Therefore, you should charge
them before first use. If the charger does not charge your
battery pack under normal circumstances, return both the
battery pack and charger to your nearest repair center for
electrical check.
Charge time is approximately 1 hour for 2.0 Ah battery packs,
and is dependent upon the type of battery pack.
 Make sure the power supply is normal household voltage,
120 volts, AC only, 60 Hz.
 Connect the charger to a power supply.
 Attach the battery pack to the charger by aligning the
raised ribs on the battery pack with the grooves in the
charger, then slide the battery pack onto the charger.
 Press down on the battery pack to be sure contacts on
the battery pack engage properly with contacts in the
charger.
 Do not place the charger in an area of extreme heat or
cold. It will work best at normal room temperature.
 The battery pack may become slightly warm to the touch
while charging. This is normal and does not indicate a
problem.
 After charging is complete, the green LED will flash on/off
continuously while the charger is in Maintenance Mode.
 After completing Maintenance Mode, the green LED will
remain on. This indicates the battery is fully charged and
the charger is in Energy Save Mode.
 Charger will periodically wake from Energy Save Mode to
ensure the battery pack remains in a fully charged state.
 To remove the battery pack from the charger, depress
latches and pull up on the battery pack.
 When the battery pack is fully charged, remove it from
the charger.
CHARGING A HOT BATTERY PACK
When using a tool continuously, the battery pack may
become hot. A hot battery pack may be placed directly onto
the charger port but charging will not begin until the battery
temperature cools to within acceptable temperature range.
When a hot battery pack is placed on the charger, the red
LED will begin flashing and the green LED will be off. When
the battery pack cools, the charger will automatically begin
charging.
CHARGING A COLD BATTERY PACK
A cold battery pack may be placed directly onto the charger
port but charging will not begin until the battery temperature
warms to within acceptable temperature range. When a cold
battery pack is placed on the charger, the red LED will begin
flashing and the green LED will be off. When the battery
pack warms, the charger will automatically begin charging.
