Frequently Asked Questions - XBU02PT MAKITA

How to charge the battery of my Makita XBU02PT lawn mower?

Plug the DC18RD charger into a 120 V outlet. Insert the battery until it stops. The red LED lights up and a melody sounds. Charging is complete when the LED turns green and a melody or long beep sounds.

What does the red flashing on the charger mean?

Red flashing indicates that the battery is too hot (cooling in progress) or too cold. Charging starts automatically when the temperature is correct.

Can I use other brand batteries with the charger?

No, the charger is designed only for Makita rechargeable batteries. Use of other batteries may cause injury or explosion.

How to customize the end-of-charge melody?

Insert the battery into the charging port. The current melody sounds. Remove and reinsert the battery within 5 seconds to switch to the next melody. Repeat until you get the desired one. Leave the battery to start charging.

Can I charge a phone with the charger's USB port?

Yes, open the USB port cover, connect your device with a USB cable, then plug in the charger. The port provides 5 V / 1.5 A. Back up your data before use.

What is conditioning charging?

It is an automatic cycle that optimizes battery life by detecting its condition (hot, cold, already full, or excessively discharged). The yellow LED lights up during this phase. Charging time may be longer.

What to do if the yellow LED flashes?

This indicates a cooling problem (blocked fan or dust). Check the charger vents and clean them. The battery can still charge but more slowly. If the problem persists, contact an authorized service.

The charger does not start, what to do?

Check that the battery is properly inserted and that the ambient temperature is between 10 °C and 40 °C. If the LED flashes alternately green and red, the terminals may be dirty or the battery is worn/damaged. Clean the contacts or replace the battery.

Can I leave the battery charging overnight?

The charger stops automatically when charging is complete. There is no risk of overcharging, but it is recommended to unplug the charger after use to save energy.

How to maintain the charger?

Unplug it before any cleaning. Regularly clean the ventilation slots with a vacuum to prevent dust buildup. Do not expose it to rain, snow, or moisture.

12. The battery charger is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.
13. Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the battery charger.
14. Do not charge battery cartridge when room temperature is BELOW 10^ C ( 50^ F) or ABOVE 40^ C ( 104^ F). At cold temperature, charging may not start.
15. Do not attempt to use a step-up transformer, an engine generator or DC power receptacle.
16. Do not allow anything to cover or clog the charger vents.
17. Do not insert a nail, wire, etc. into USB power supply port.

Charging for MAKITA batteries

This charger can charge two batteries at the same time.

1. Plug the 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. Terminal cover of charger can be opened with inserting and closed with pulling out the battery cartridge.
3. When the battery cartridge is inserted, the red charging light will light up and charging will begin with a preset brief melody sound coming out for assurance as to which sound will come out to notify the completion of charging.
4. With finish of charge, the charging light will change from red one to green one and the melody sound or buzzer sound (a long beep) comes out to notify completion of charge.
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.

Changing melody sound of completed charging

1. Insert the battery cartridge into the charging port that you want to change the melody sound of completed charging. It brings out the last preset brief melody sound of completed charging.
2. Removing and re-inserting it within five seconds after this action makes the melody sound change.
3. Every time removing and re-inserting it within another five seconds after this, the melody sound changes in order.
4. When the desired melody sound comes out, leave the battery cartridge being inserted and the charge will begin. When a "short beep" mode is selected, no completed charging signals comes out. (Silent Mode)
5. With finish of charge, the green light remains lit with the red light going out and the melody sound preset at the insertion of battery cartridge or buzzer sound (a long beep) comes out to notify completion of charge. (In selected silent mode, no sounds come out.)
6. Preset melody sound remains stored even when the charger is unplugged.

NOTE:

• The battery charger is for charging Makita-battery cartridge. Never use it for other purposes or for other manufacturer's batteries.
• When you charge a battery cartridge which is new or has not been used for a long period of time, it may not accept a full charge until after discharging it completely and recharging a couple of times. (Ni-MH battery only)
• 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 will begin after the cooling fan installed in the charger cools the battery cartridge. Charging will begin after the battery cartridge temperature reaches the degree at which charging is possible. When the temperature on battery is more than approx. 70^ C, two charging lights may flash in red color, and when approx. 50^ C – 70^ C, one charging light in red color.

- 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

• 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, 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.

Conditioning charge

Conditioning charge can extend the life of battery by automatically searching the optimum charging condition for the batteries in every situation.

The battery employed in the following conditions repeatedly requires “conditioning charge” to prevent fast wear out. In that case, yellow light lights up.

1. Recharge of battery with its high temperature
2. Recharge of battery with its low temperature
3. Recharge of full charged battery
4. Over-discharge of battery (continue to discharge battery in spite of down of power.)

The charging time of such battery is longer than usual.

Using with USB device

This charger works as an external power supply for USB device.

1. Open the cover of the USB power supply port. Connect the USB cable to the USB power supply port and USB device.
2. Plug the charger into a power source.
3. After charging, unplug the charger.

Note:

• The charger may not supply power to some USB devices.
• Before connecting USB device to the charger, always backup your data of USB device. Otherwise your data may lose by any possibility.
• When not using or after charging, remove the USB cable and close the cover.
