Frequently Asked Questions - DC10SA MAKITA

What types of batteries can I charge with the Makita DC10SA?

This charger is designed only for Makita Li-ion rechargeable batteries with voltage 10.8-12 V max, such as models BL1016, BL1021B and BL1041B. Non-rechargeable batteries or other brands cannot be charged.

How do I know when charging is complete?

The charge indicator lights up solid green when charging is complete. During charging, it is solid red (0-80%) or red and green (80-100%).

What should I do if the charge indicator flashes red?

A red flashing indicates that the battery is too hot or too cold. Wait for the battery to return to a temperature between 10°C and 40°C before charging again.

Can I leave the battery charging overnight?

It is recommended to unplug the charger once charging is complete to avoid overcharging and save energy. The charger stops automatically, but it is better to remove the battery.

How do I mount the charger on the wall?

Charging

1. Plug the battery charger into the proper AC voltage source. Charging light will flash in green color repeatedly.
2. Insert the battery cartridge into charger until it stops adjusting to the guide of charger.

3. When the battery cartridge is inserted, the charging light color will change from green to red and charging will begin. The charging light will keep lighting up steadily during charging. One red charging light indicates charged condition in 0 – 80% and red and green ones indicate 80 – 100%. The 80% indication mentioned above is approximate value. The indication may differ according to battery temperature or battery condition.

4. With finish of charge, the charging lights will change from red and green ones to green one.

5. Charging time varies by temperature (10°C (50°F) - 40°C (104°F)) that battery cartridge is charged at and conditions of the battery cartridge, such as a battery cartridge which is new or has not been used for a long period of time.

6. After charging, remove the battery cartridge from charger and unplug the charger.

Voltage 10.8 V –	12 V (max.)	Capacity (Ah) according to IEC61960	Charging time (Minutes)
Number of cells 3 DC	10SB DC10WD

NOTE:

• The battery charger is for charging Makita-battery cartridge. Never use it for other purposes or for other manufacturer's batteries.
• If charging light may flash in red color, battery condition is as below and charging may not start.

- Battery cartridge from just-operated tool or battery cartridge that has been left in a location exposed to direct sunlight for a long time.

– Battery cartridge that has been left for a long time in a location exposed to cold air.

When the battery cartridge is too hot, charging does not begin until the battery cartridge temperature reaches the degree at which charging is possible.

- If the charging light flashes alternately in green and red color, charging is not possible. The terminals on the charger or battery cartridge are clogged with dust or the battery cartridge is worn out or damaged.

Cooling system (only for DC10SB)

• This charger is equipped with cooling fan for heated battery in order to enable the battery to prove its own performance. Sound of cooling air comes out during cooling, which means no trouble on the charger.
• Yellow light will flash for warning in the following cases.

– Trouble on cooling fan

– Incomplete cool down of battery, such as, being clogged with dust

The battery can be charged in spite of the yellow warning light. But the charging time will be longer than usual in this case. Check the sound of cooling fan, vent on the charger and battery, which can be sometime clogged with dust.

• The cooling system is in order although no sound of cooling fan comes out, if the yellow warning light will not flash.
  • Always keep clean the vent on charger and battery for cooling.
• The products should be sent to repair or maintenance, if the yellow warning light will frequently flash.

Wall mounting

Warning:

• Make sure to use two screws for hanging the charger on the wall, and anchor the charger on the wall with another screw. Otherwise the charger may fall and cause serious injury.
• Always be sure that the charger is unplugged and all the batteries are removed from the charger before performing wall mounting work.
• Follow the steps instructed in this manual, and complete the whole procedures at once. The charger may fall and cause injury or damage if you stop the work in the half way.
• Check tightness of the screws on regular basis. Otherwise the charger may fall because of loosen screw.
• Clean the terminal parts of the charger on regular basis with an air duster etc.

Caution:

- Carefully choose a stable wall for mounting the charger. Make sure there is no hindrance to mounting work or charging operation. The gross weight of the charger and battery reach approximately 1.1 kg (2.43lbs) (DC10SB) / 0.8 kg (1.76lbs) (DC10WD), provide sufficient reinforcement for the wall if necessary.

Things you need to prepare:

- Two screws - for hanging the charger. Screw size : 4mm x more than 20mm (5/32" x more than 13/16").

Screw head size: 9.0mm or less and less than 3.5mm thickness. ( 11/32'' × 1/8'' ).

• One screw (4mm (5/32") x more than 25mm (1")) - for anchoring the charger.
• One more screw (only for DC10SB) (4mm (5/32") x more than 40mm (1-9/16")) - for supporting the charger.
• Tools - for tightening screws.

You can mount the charger on the wall either horizontal or vertical direction. (Fig. 1&2)

1. Fix the two screws for hanging on the wall as illustrated. (Fig. 3)
2. Hang the charger with the screws fixed in step 1.
3. Mount the charger on the wall by tightening the anchor screw completely. (Fig. 4) (For DC10SB it is needed one more screw for supporting the charger on the wall.)
