Note: Used to give more information that is necessary in a given situation.

Safety instructions

WARNING: Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to obey the warnings and instructions may result in electrical shock, fire and/or serious injury.

WARNING: Store these instructions in a safe place. Only use the charger if you can fully evaluate all functions and carry them out without restrictions, or if you have received corresponding instructions.

• This charger is not intended for use by children or persons with physical, sensory or mental limitations or a lack of experience or knowledge. This charger can be used by children aged 8 or older and by persons who have physical, sensory or mental limitations or a lack of experience or knowledge if a person responsible for their safety supervises them or has instructed them in the safe operation of the charger and they understand the associated dangers. Otherwise, there is a risk of operating errors and injuries.
• Supervise children during use, cleaning and maintenance. This will ensure that children do not play with the charger.
• Only charge 18V POWER FOR ALL system batteries with a capacity of 1.5 Ah and above. The battery voltage must match the battery charging voltage of the charger. Do not charge any non-rechargeable batteries. Otherwise there is a risk of fire and explosion.

• Keep the charger clean. Dirt poses a risk of electric shock.

• Always check the charge, including the cable and plug, before use. Stop using the charger if you discover any damage. Do not open the charger yourself, and have it repaired only by Husqvarna or by an authorised after-sales service centre using only original replacement parts. Damaged chargers, cables and plugs increase the risk of electric shock.

• Do not operate the charger on an easily ignited surface (e.g. paper, textiles, etc.) or in a flammable environment. There is a risk of fire due to the charger heating up during operation
• Do not cover the ventilation slots of the charger. Otherwise, the charger may overheat and no longer function properly.
• Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
• In case of damage and improper use of the battery, vapours may also be emitted. Ensure the area is well-ventilated and seek medical attention should you experience any adverse effects. The vapours may irritate the respiratory system.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

Products sold in GB only

Your product is fitted with an BS 1363/A approved electric plug with internal fuse (ASTA approved to BS 1362). If the plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place by an authorised customer service agent. The replacement plug should have the same fuse rating as the original plug. The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible shock hazard and should never be inserted into a mains socket elsewhere.

Operation

WARNING: Pay attention to the mains voltage. The voltage of the power source must match the voltage specified on the rating plate of the charger.

• Make sure that the charging slot and the battery contacts are free of coarse dirt. Ensure that the battery is fully inserted.
• The charging process begins as soon as the mains plug of the charger is inserted into the mains socket and the battery is inserted into the charging slot.

• The charging process is only possible when the temperature of the battery is within the permitted charging temperature range (0–45 °C).

• Thanks to the intelligent charging process, the state of charge of the battery is automatically detected and then charged up with the optimal charge current depending on battery temperature and voltage.

• A significantly reduced operating time after charging indicates that the battery has deteriorated and must be replaced.
• When the charger is used continuously, or for several consecutive charge cycles without interruption, the charger may heat up. This is, however, harmless and does not indicate that the charger has a technical defect.

Battery charging times

The following table displays the approximate time required in minutes in order to fully charge the battery, depending on the battery type. Charging times can vary.

Battery charging status

The LED indicator shows the state of charge and if there are problems with the charger.

LED indicator Status	Note
The green charging indicator flashes quickly.	The rapid-charging procedure is active.	Once approximately 80% of the battery capacity has been reached, the flashing of the green battery charge indicator will slow down. The rapid-charging process is now completed. The battery can be removed and used at any time. If the battery remains in the charger, the charging process will be performed at a slower pace.

LED indicator Status	Note
The green charging indicator is on.	The battery is fully charged.	The battery can then be removed for immediate use.When there is no battery connected, the continuous light of the green charging indicator indicates that the mains plug is plugged into the plug socket and that the charger is ready to be used.

Battery cooling (Active Air Cooling) (P4A 18-C170)

The fan control unit integrated into the charger monitors the temperature of the inserted battery. As soon as the battery temperature is above approximately 0 °C, the fan switches on. The fan generates a ventilation sound when switched on. If the fan does not run, it is defective or the battery temperature is < 0°C. This can increase the charging time.

Wall mounting (P4A 18-C100)

WARNING: Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any work on the charger.

The charger can be used free-standing (for use on a desktop) or mounted on a wall.

To mount the charger on the wall:

1. Drill 2 holes in the wall with a distance of 56 mm apart.

2. Install 2 round-head screws with a diameter of 5–6.5

mm.(Fig. 7)

1. Attach the charger to the wall.

Troubleshooting

Symptoms Cause Solution
The red temperature monitoring indicator flashes and the green charging indicator is on.	The charger has identified an internal error. Make sure that all batteries are fully inserted. Remove the mains plug and reinsert. If the error continues, have the charger checked by an authorised aftersales service centre for Husqvarna products.
	Battery is not correctly inserted. Insert the battery into the charger correctly.
	The battery contacts and charging contacts are dirty.	Clean the battery contacts and charging contacts; e.g. by inserting and removing the battery several times.
	The battery is damaged. Replace the battery.
The red temperature monitoring indicator is on. Battery temperature is outside of the charging range.		Wait until the battery temperature is back within the permitted charging temperature range (0–45 °C)
The red temperature monitoring indicator and the green charging indicator are off.	Plug socket, mains cable or battery charger defective.	Check the mains voltage. If necessary, have the charger checked by an authorised after-sales service centre.
	Mains plug of the battery charger is not plugged in correctly.	Plug the mains plug (fully) into the plug socket.
