BATTERY CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS
CHARGE INDICATORS
This charger is designed to detect certain problems that can arise. Problems are
indicated by the red light flashing at a fast rate. If this occurs, re-insert the battery pack
into the charger. If the problem persists, try a different battery pack to determine if the
charger is working properly. If the new pack charges correctly, then the original pack is
defective and should be returned to a service center or other collection site for recycling.
If the new battery pack elicits the same trouble indication as the original, have the
charger and the battery pack tested at an authorized service center.

HOT/COLD DELAY
HOT/COLD DELAY
Models DCB107, DCB112, DCB113, DCB115
These chargers have a hot/cold delay feature. When the charger detects a battery that is
too hot or too cold, it automatically starts a delay, suspending charging. The red light will
continue to blink, but a yellow indicator light will be illuminated during this suspension.
Once the battery has reached an optimum temperature, the yellow light will turn off
and the charger will automatically resume the charging procedure. This feature ensures
maximum battery life.
LEAVING THE BATTERY PACK IN THE CHARGER
The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the charge indicator showing
Pack Charged.
WEAK BATTERY PACKS
Weak batteries will continue to function but should not be expected to perform as
much work.
FAULTY BATTERY PACKS
Models DCB107, DCB112, DCB113, DCB115
These chargers will not charge a faulty battery pack. The charger will indicate
faulty battery pack by refusing to light. NOTE: This could also indicate a problem
with a charger.

BATTERY CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS
WALL MOUNTING
Models DCB107, DCB112, DCB113, DCB115
These chargers are designed to be wall mountable or to sit upright on a table or work
surface. If wall mounting, locate the charger within reach of an electrical outlet. Mount
the charger securely using drywall screws at least 1" (25.4 mm) long, screwed into
wood to an optimal depth leaving approximately 7/32" (5.5 mm) of the screw exposed.
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 battery pack in a warm
environment such as in a metal shed or an uninsulated trailer.
3. A cold battery pack will charge at about half the rate of a warm battery pack. The
battery pack will charge at that slower rate throughout the entire charging cycle and
will not return to maximum charge rate even if the battery pack warms.
4. If the battery pack does not charge properly:
a. Check operation of receptacle by plugging in a lamp or other appliance;
b. Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch which turns power off
when you turn out the lights;
c. Move the charger and battery pack to a location where the surrounding air
temperature is approximately 65 ˚F – 75 ˚F (18 ˚ – 24 ˚C);
d. If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery pack and charger to your local
service center.
5. The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to produce sufficient power
on jobs which were easily done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE to use under these
conditions. Follow the charging procedure. You may also charge a partially used pack
whenever you desire with no adverse effect on the battery pack.
