Important Safety Instructions for All Battery Chargers
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS: This manual contains important safety and operating instructions for the DE9116/DE9216 battery chargers.
- Before using charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on charger, battery pack, and product using battery pack.
DANGER: Electrocution hazard. 230 volts are present at charging terminals. Do not probe with conductive objects. Electric shock or electrocution may result.
WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to get inside charger. Electric shock may result.
N: Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury, charge only DEWALT rechargeable batteries. Other types of batteries may burst, causing personal injury and damage.
CAUTION: Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged in to the power supply, the exposed charging contacts inside the charger can be shorted by foreign material. Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but not limited to, steel wool, aluminum foil, or any buildup of metallic particles should be kept away from charger cavities. Always unplug the charger from the power supply when there is no battery pack in the cavity. Unplug charger before attempting to clean.
- DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack with any chargers other than the ones in this manual. The charger and battery pack are specifically designed to work together.
- These chargers are not intended for any uses other than charging DEWALT rechargeable batteries. Any other uses may result in risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
- Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
- Pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting charger. This will reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord.
- Make sure that cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
-
Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result in risk of fire, electric shock, or electrocution.
-
Do not place any object on top of 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 the housing.
- Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug — have them replaced immediately.
- Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way. Take it to an authorised service centre.
- Do not disassemble charger; take it to an authorised service centre when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock, electrocution or fire.
- 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 this risk.
• NEVER attempt to connect 2 chargers together. - The charger is designed to operate on standard 230V household electrical power. Do not attempt to use it on any other voltage. This does not apply to the vehicular charger.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Chargers
The DE9116/DE9216 charger accepts 7.2–18 V NiCd and NiMH batteries.
These chargers require no adjustment and are designed to be as easy as possible to operate.
Charging Procedure
R: Electrocution hazard. 230 volts present at charging terminals. Do not probe with conductive objects. Danger of electric shock or electrocution.
- Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before inserting battery pack.
- Insert the battery pack into the charger. The red (charging) light will blink continuously, indicating that the charging process has started.
- The completion of charge will be indicated by the red light remaining ON continuously. The pack is fully charged and may be used at this time or left in the charger.
NOTE: To ensure maximum performance and life of NiCd and NiMH batteries, charge the battery for a minimum of 10 hours before first use.
Charging Process
Refer the table below for the state of charge of the battery pack.
| State of charge | ||||
| charging | - | - | - | - |
| fully charged | —— | |||
| hot/cold pack delay | — | — | — | |
| replace battery pack | ●●●●●●●●● | |||
| problem | ●●●●●●● | |||
Automatic Refresh
The automatic refresh mode will equalise or balance the individual cells in the battery pack at its peak capacity. Battery packs should be refreshed weekly or whenever the pack no longer delivers the same amount of work.
To refresh your battery pack, place the battery in the charger as usual. Leave the battery pack for at least 10 hours in the charger.
Hot/Cold Pack Delay
When the charger detects a battery that is too hot or too cold, it automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack Delay, suspending charging until the battery has reached an appropriate temperature. The charger then automatically switches to the pack charging mode. This feature ensures maximum battery life.
Important Safety Instructions for All Battery Packs
When ordering replacement battery packs, be sure to include catalog number and voltage.
The battery pack is not fully charged out of the carton. Before using the battery pack and charger, read the safety instructions below. Then follow charging procedures outlined.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
- Do not charge or use battery in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Inserting or removing the battery from the charger may ignite the dust or fumes.
- Charge the battery packs only in DEWALT chargers.
- DO NOT splash or immerse in water or other liquids.
- Do not store or use the product and battery pack in locations where the temperature may reach or exceed 40^ C ( 105^ F) (such as outside sheds or metal buildings in summer).
DANGER: Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If battery pack case is cracked or damaged, do not insert into charger. Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not use a battery pack or charger that has received a sharp blow, been dropped, run over or damaged in any way (i.e., pierced with a nail, hit with a hammer, stepped on). Electric shock or electrocution may result. Damaged battery packs should be returned to service centre for recycling.
CAUTION: When not in use, place product on its side on a stable surface where it will not cause a tripping or falling hazard. Some products with large battery packs will stand upright on the battery pack but may be easily knocked over.
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR NICKEL CADMIUM (NiCd) OR NICKEL METAL HYDRIDE (NiMH)
- Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is severely damaged or is completely worn out. The battery pack can explode in a fire.
- A small leakage of liquid from the battery pack cells may occur under extreme usage or temperature conditions. This does not indicate a failure.
However, if the outer seal is broken:
a. and the battery liquid gets on your skin, immediately wash with soap and water for several minutes.
b. and the battery liquid gets into your eyes, flush them with clean water for a minimum of 10 minutes and seek immediate medical attention. (Medical note: The liquid is 25–35% solution of potassium hydroxide.)
Battery Cap
A protective battery cap is supplied to cover the contacts of a detached battery pack. Without the protective cap in place, loose metal objects could short circuit the contacts, causing a fire hazard and damaging the battery pack.
- Take off the protective battery cap before placing the battery pack in the charger or product.
- Place the protective cap over the contacts immediately after removing the battery pack from the charger or product.
WARNING: Make sure the protective battery cap is in place before storing or carrying a detached battery pack.
Battery Pack
