Important Charging Notes
1. 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 uninsulatedtrailer.
2. 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. If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery
pack and charger to your local servicecenter.
3. You may charge a partially used pack whenever you
desire with no adverse effect on the batterypack.
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 cleaningsolutions.
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 packlife.
A cold battery pack may charge at a slower rate than a
warm batterypack.
The hot/cold pack delay will be indicated by the red light
continuing to blink but with the yellow light continuously
ON. Once the battery pack has reached an appropriate
temperature, the yellow light will turn OFF and the charger
will resume the chargingprocedure.
DCB118 and DCB1112 Chargers
The DCB118 and DCB1112 chargers are equipped with
an internal fan designed to cool the battery pack. The fan
will turn on automatically when the battery pack needs to
becooled.
Electronic Protection System
Li-Ion tools are designed with an Electronic Protection
System that will protect the battery pack against
overloading, overheating or deep discharge. The tool will
automatically turn off and the battery pack will need to
berecharged.

• Do not place any object on top of the charger or
place the charger on a soft surface that might block
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. Have them replacedimmediately.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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 and ventilation slots.
• Always unplug the charger from the power supply
when there is no battery pack in thecavity.
Charging a Battery (Fig. C)
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet.
2. Insert and fully seat battery pack. Red charging light will
continuously blink whilecharging.
3. Charging is complete when the red charging light
remains continuously ON. Battery pack can be left in
charger or removed. Some chargers require the battery
pack release button to be pressed forremoval.
4. Charger will not charge a faulty battery pack, which
may be indicated by the light staying OFF. Take charger
and battery pack to an authorized service center if light
staysOFF.
NOTE: Refer to label near charging light on
charger for blink patterns. Older chargers may have
additional information and/or may not have a yellow
indicatorlight.
Wall Mounting
Some
DeWALT
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,
and away from a corner or other obstructions which may
impede air flow. Use the back of the charger as a template
