the ventilation slots and result in excessive internal
heat. Place the charger in a position away from any heat
source. The charger is ventilated through slots in the top
and the bottom of thehousing.
• Do not operate the charger with a damaged cord
orplug.
• Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp
blow, been dropped or otherwise damaged in any
way. Take it to an authorized servicecenter.
• Do not disassemble the charger; take it to an
authorized service center when service or repair
is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of
electric shock, electrocution orfire.
• Disconnect the charger from the outlet before
attempting any cleaning. This will reduce the risk of
electric shock. Removing the battery pack will not reduce
thisrisk.
• NEVER attempt to connect 2 chargerstogether.
• The charger is designed to operate on standard
120V household electrical power. Do not attempt to
use it on any other voltage. This does not apply to the
vehicularcharger.
WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow
any liquid to get inside the charger. Electric shock
mayresult.
WARNING: Burn hazard. Do not
submerge the battery pack in any liquid or allow any
liquid to enter the battery pack. Never attempt to open
the battery pack for any reason. If the plastic housing
of the battery pack breaks or cracks, return to a service
center for recycling.
CAUTION: Burn hazard. To reduce the risk
of injury, charge only DEWALT rechargeable battery
packs. Other types of batteries may overheat and burst
resulting in personal injury and propertydamage.
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 toclean.
Charging a Battery (Fig. C)
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before
inserting battery pack.
2. Insert the battery pack
10
into the charger, making sure
the battery pack is fully seated in the charger. The red
(charging) light will blink continuously indicating that
the charging process has started.
3. The completion of charge will be indicated by the red
light remaining ON continuously. The battery pack is
fully charged and may be used at this time or left in the
charger. To remove the battery pack from the charger,
push the battery release button
11
on the battery pack
and then slide the battery pack out of the charger.

NOTE: To ensure maximum performance and life of lithium-
ion battery packs, charge the battery pack fully before first
use.
Charger Operation
Refer to the indicators below for the charge status of the
battery pack.
DCB107, DCB112, DCB113, DCB115, DCB118, DCB132
Charging
Fully Charged
Hot/Cold Pack Delay*
* DCB107, DCB112, DCB113, DCB115, DCB118,
DCB132: The red light will continue to blink, but a yellow
indicator light will be illuminated during this operation.
Once the battery pack has reached an appropriate
temperature, the yellow light will turn off and the charger
will resume the charging procedure.
The compatible charger(s) will not charge a faulty battery
pack. The charger will indicate faulty battery pack by
refusing to light.
NOTE: This could also mean a problem with a charger.
If the charger indicates a problem, take the charger and
battery pack to be tested at an authorized service center.
Hot/Cold Pack Delay
When the charger detects a battery pack that is too hot
or too cold, it automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack Delay,
suspending charging until the battery pack has reached an
appropriate temperature. The charger then automatically
switches to the pack charging mode. This feature ensures
maximum battery pack life.
A cold battery pack will charge at a slower rate than 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.
The DCB118 charger is equipped with an internal fan
designed to cool the battery pack. The fan will turn on
automatically when the battery pack needs to be cooled.
Never operate the charger if the fan does not operate
properly or if ventilation slots are blocked. Do not permit
foreign objects to enter the interior of the charger.
