CAUTION: Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury,
charge only PORTER-CABLE rechargeable battery
packs. Other types of batteries may overheat and burst
resulting in personal injury and property damage.
NOTICE: Under certain conditions, with the charger
plugged into the power supply, the charger can
be shorted by foreign material. Foreign materials
of a conductive nature, such as, but not limited to,
grinding dust, metal chips, steel wool, aluminum
foil or any buildup of metallic particles should be
kept away from the charger cavities. Always unplug
the charger from the power supply when there is no
battery pack in the cavity. Unplug the charger before
attempting to clean.
Charging a Battery
PORTER-CABLE chargers are designed to charge PORTER-
CABLE battery packs. Charge times are: PCC690L in 40–80
mins., PCC691L in 70–140 mins., PCC692/PCC692L in 40–80
mins., and PCC695L/PCC699L in 180-360 mins. depending
on the pack being charged.
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before
inserting the battery pack.
2. Insert the battery pack into the charger.
3. The LED will flash indicating that the battery is
being charged.
4. The completion of charge is indicated by the LED
remaining on continuously. The pack is fully charged
and may be used at this time or left on the charger.
5. Recharge discharged batteries as soon as possible
after use or battery life may be greatly diminished. For
longest battery life, do not discharge batteries fully. It
is recommended that the batteries be recharged after
each use.
Charger Diagnostics
This charger is designed to detect certain problems that can
arise with the battery packs or the power source. Problems
are indicated by one LED flashing in different patterns.
Bad Battery
The charger can detect a weak or damaged battery. The LED
flashes in the pattern indicated on the label. If you see this
bad battery blink pattern, do not continue to charge the
battery. Return it to a service center or a collection site for
recycling.
Hot/Cold Pack Delay
When the charger detects a battery that is excessively
hot or excessively cold, it automatically starts a Hot/Cold
Pack Delay, suspending charging until the battery has
normalized. After this happens, the charger automatically
switches to the Pack Charging mode. This feature ensures
maximum battery life. The light flashes in the pattern
indicated on the label.

Leaving the Battery in the Charger
The charger and battery pack can be left connected with
the LED glowing indefinitely. The charger will keep the
battery pack fresh and fully charged. This charger features
an automatic tune-up mode which equals or balances the
individual cells in the battery pack to allow it to function at
peak capacity. Battery packs should be tuned up weekly or
whenever the battery no longer delivers the same amount
of work. To use the automatic tune-up mode, place the
battery pack in the charger and leave it for at least 8 hours.
State Of Charge Indicator (Fig. D)
Some PORTER-CABLE tools include a state of charge
indicator which consists of three green LED lights that
indicate the level of charge remaining in the battery pack.
The state of charge indicator is an indication of approximate
levels of charge remaining in the battery pack according to
the following indicators:
To actuate the state of charge indicator, press and hold
the state of charge indicator button. A combination of the
three green LED lights will illuminate designating the level
of charge left. When the level of charge in the battery is
below the usable limit, the state of charge indicator will not
illuminate and the battery will need to be recharged.
Fig. D
nOTE: The state of charge indicator is only an indication of
the charge left on the battery pack. It does not indicate tool
functionality and is subject to variation based on product
components, temperature and end-user application.
Charger Cleaning Instructions

WARNING: Shock hazard. Disconnect the charger
from the AC outlet before cleaning. Dirt and grease
may be removed from the exterior of the charger using
a cloth or soft non-metallic brush. Do not use water or
any cleaning solutions.
Important Charging Notes
1. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if
the battery pack is charged when the air temperature is
between 65 °F and 75 °F (18 ° – 24 °C). DO NOT charge
the battery pack in an air temperature below +40 °F
(+4.5 °C), or above +104 °F (+40 °C). This is important
and will prevent serious damage to the battery pack.
2. The charger and battery pack may become warm to the
touch while charging. This is a normal condition, and
does not indicate a problem. To facilitate the cooling of
the battery pack after use, avoid placing the charger or
75–100% charged
51–74% charged
< 50% charged
Pack needs to be charged
