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 (Fig. A, C)
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before
inserting batterypack.
Fig. C

2. Insert the battery pack
11
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 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, DCB1106
Charging
Fully Charged
Hot/Cold Pack Delay*
* DCB107, DCB112, DCB113, DCB115, DCB118,
DCB132, DCB1106: 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.
Lithium-Ion Battery Packs Only
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 if the Electronic
Protection System engages. If this occurs, place the lithium-
ion battery pack on the charger until it is fullycharged.
Wall Mounting
DCB107, DCB112, DCB113, DCB115, DCB118, DCB132,
DCB1106
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,
and away from a corner or other obstructions which may
impede air flow. Use the back of the charger as a template
for the location of the mounting screws on the wall. Mount
the charger securely using drywall screws (purchased
separately) at least 1" (25.4 mm) long, with a screw head
diameter of 0.28–0.35" (7–9mm), screwed into wood to an
optimal depth leaving approximately 7/32" (5.5 mm) of the
screw exposed. Align the slots on the back of the charger
with the exposed screws and fully engage them in theslots.
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
