Storage Recommendations
The best storage place is one that is cool and dry, away from
direct sunlight and excess heat or cold. Store the fully charged
battery pack out of thecharger.
Battery Pack Cleaning Instructions
Dirt and grease may be removed from the exterior of the
battery pack using a cloth or soft non‑metallic brush. Do not
use water or any cleaningsolutions.
Fuel Gauge Battery Packs (Fig.E)
Some battery packs include a fuel gauge. When the fuel gauge
button is pressed and held, the LED lights will indicate the
approximate level of charge remaining. This does not indicate
tool functionality and is subject to variation based on product
components, temperature, and end‑userapplication.
Transportation
WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not store, carry, or
transport the battery pack so that metal objects can
contact exposed battery terminals. For example, do
not place the battery pack in aprons, pockets, tool boxes,
product kit boxes, drawers, etc., with loose nails, screws,
keys, coins, hand tools, etc. When transporting individual
battery packs, make sure that the battery terminals are
protected and well insulated from materials that could
contact them and cause a short circuit. NOTE: Li‑ion
battery packs should not be put in checked baggage
on airplanes and must be properly protected from short
circuits if they are in carry‑onbaggage.
Important Safety Instructions for All Battery
Chargers
WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions,
and cautionary markings for the battery pack,
charger and product. Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions may result in electric shock, fire
and/or seriousinjury.
• DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack with any
chargers other than a DeWALT charger. DeWALT chargers
and battery packs are specifically designed to worktogether.
• These chargers are not intended for any uses other than
charging DeWALT rechargeable battery packs. Charging
other types of battery packs may cause them to overheat
and burst, resulting in personal injury, property damage, fire,
electric shock orelectrocution.
• Do not expose the charger to rain orsnow.
• Do not allow water or any liquid to entercharger.
• Pull by the plug rather than the cord when
disconnecting the charger. This will reduce the risk of
damage to the electric plug andcord.
• Make sure that the cord is located so that it will not
be stepped on, tripped over or otherwise subjected to
damage orstress.
• Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely
necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result in risk
of fire, electric shock orelectrocution.
• When operating a charger outdoors, always provide
a dry location and use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces
the risk of electricshock.
• An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG
or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller the
gauge number of the wire, the heavier the cord and thus the
greater its capacity. An undersized cord will cause a drop
in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
The following table shows the correct size to use depending
on total length of all extension cords plugged together,
and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next
heaviergauge.

• 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.
