buildings in summer). For best life store battery packs in
a cool, drylocation.
NOTE: Do not store the battery packs in a tool with
the trigger switch locked on. Never tape the trigger
switch in the ONposition.

• 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. Toxic fumes and
materials are created when lithium ion battery packs
areburned.

• If battery contents come into contact with the skin,
immediately wash area with mild soap and water. If
battery liquid gets into the eye, rinse water over the open
eye for 15 minutes or until irritation ceases. If medical
attention is needed, the battery electrolyte is composed of
a mixture of liquid organic carbonates and lithiumsalts.

• Contents of opened battery cells may cause
respiratory irritation. Provide fresh air. If symptoms



WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not store or carry 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, etc. Transporting batteries

can possibly cause fires if the battery terminals
inadvertently come in contact with conductive
materials such as keys, coins, hand tools and the
like. The US Department of Transportation Hazardous

Material Regulations (HMR) actually prohibit
transporting batteries in commerce or on airplanes in
carry-on baggage UNLESS they are properly protected
from short circuits. So 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.

Shipping the

DeWALT

FLEXVOLT™ Battery

The DeWALT FLEXVOLT™ battery has two modes: Use
andShipping.

Use Mode: When the FLEXVOLT™ battery stands alone or is
in a DeWALT 20V Max* product, it will operate as a 20V Max*
battery. When the FLEXVOLT™ battery is in a 60V Max* or a
120V Max* (two 60V Max* batteries) product, it will operate
as a 60V Max* battery.

Shipping Mode: When
the cap is attached to
the FLEXVOLT™ battery,
the battery is in Shipping
Mode. Strings of cells are
electrically disconnected within the pack resulting in three
batteries with a lower watt hour (Wh) rating as compared to
one battery with a higher Watt hour rating. This increased
quantity of three batteries with the lower watt hour rating
can exempt the pack from certain shipping regulations that
are imposed upon the higher Watt hour batteries.

The battery label indicates two Watt Hour Ratings (see
example). Depending on how the battery is shipped, the
appropriate Whr rating must be used to determine the
applicable shipping requirements. If utilizing the shipping
cap, the pack will be considered 3 batteries at the Whr
indicated for “Shipping”. If shipping without the cap or in
a tool, the pack will be considered one battery at the Watt
hour rating indicated next to “Use”.

USE: 120 Wh Shipping: 3 x 40 Wh

Example of Use and Shipping Label Marking

For example, shipping Wh rating might indicate 3 x 40 Wh,
meaning 3 batteries of 40 Watt hours each. The Use Wh
rating might indicate 120 Watt hour (1 battery implied).

Fuel Gauge Battery Packs (Fig. B)

Some

DeWALT

battery packs include a fuel gauge which
consists of three green LED lights that indicate the level of
charge remaining in the batterypack.

The fuel gauge is an indication of approximate levels of
charge remaining in the battery pack according to the
followingindicators:

75–100% charged

51–74% charged

< 50% charged

Pack needs to be charged

To actuate the fuel gauge, press and hold the fuel gauge
button. A combination of the three green LED lights will
illuminate designating the level of charge left. When the
level of charge in the battery is below the usable limit, the
fuel gauge will not illuminate and the battery will need to
berecharged.

ENGLISH

Important Safety Instructions for All
Battery Chargers



WARNING: Read all safety warnings and all
instructions for the battery pack, charger and
power tool. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/
or serious injury.

• 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 the charger to rain orsnow.

• Pull by the plug rather than the cord when

disconnecting the charger. This will reduce the risk of
damage to the electric plug andcord.

• Make sure that the 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.

• 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 electricshock.

• An extension cord must have adequate wire size
(AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller
the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity
of the cable, that is, 16 gauge has more capacity than 18
gauge. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. When using
more than one extension to make up the total length,
be sure each individual extension contains at least the
minimum wire size. The following table shows the correct
size to use depending on cord length and nameplate
ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The
lower the gauge number, the heavier thecord.

• 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 thehousing.

• Do not operate the charger with a damaged cord

orplug.

• 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 servicecenter.

• Do not disassemble the charger; take it to an
authorized service center 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

120V household electrical power. Do not attempt to

ENGLISH

use it on any other voltage. This does not apply to the
vehicularcharger.



WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to
get inside the charger. Electric shock mayresult.



WARNING: Burn hazard. Do not submerge the
battery pack in any liquid or allow any liquid to
enter the battery pack. Never attempt to open the
battery pack for any reason. If the plastic housing of
the battery pack breaks or cracks, return to a service
center for recycling.



CAUTION: Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury,
charge only

DeWALT

rechargeable battery packs.
Other types of batteries may overheat and burst
resulting in personal injury and propertydamage.

NOTICE: Under certain conditions, with the charger
plugged into the power supply, the charger can
be shorted by foreign material. Foreign materials
of a conductive nature, such as, but not limited to,
grinding dust, metal chips, steel wool, aluminum
foil or any buildup of metallic particles should be
kept away from the charger cavities. Always unplug
the charger from the power supply when there is no
battery pack in the cavity. Unplug the charger before
attempting toclean.

Charging a Battery (Fig. C)

When the radio is plugged in it will charge the installed
battery. Unplugged, the radio will run up to 8 hours on a
fully charged battery using a premium 20 V Max* Li-Ion
battery. Using batteries of lower voltage and amp hours will
yield less run time.

1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before
inserting battery pack.

Fig. C

2. Insert the battery pack

20

into the charger, making sure
the battery pack is fully seated in the charger. The red
(charging) light will blink continuously indicating that
the charging process has started.

3. The completion of charge will be indicated by the red
light remaining ON continuously. The battery pack is
fully charged and may be used at this time or left in the
charger. To remove the battery pack from the charger,
push the battery release button

21

* DCB107, DCB112, DCB113, DCB115, DCB118, DCB132:

The red light will continue to blink, but a yellow indicator
light will be illuminated during this operation. Once the
battery pack has reached an appropriate temperature, the
yellow light will turn off and the charger will resume the
charging procedure.

The compatible charger(s) will not charge a faulty battery
pack. The charger will indicate faulty battery pack by
refusing to light or by displaying a problem pack or charger
blink pattern.

NOTE: This could also mean a problem with a charger.
If the charger indicates a problem, take the charger and

battery pack to be tested at an authorized service center.

Hot/Cold Pack Delay

When the charger detects a battery pack that is too hot
or too cold, it automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack Delay,
suspending charging until the battery pack has reached an
appropriate temperature. The charger then automatically
switches to the pack charging mode. This feature ensures
maximum battery pack life.

A cold battery pack will charge at a slower rate than a warm
battery pack. The battery pack will charge at that slower rate
throughout the entire charging cycle and will not return to
maximum charge rate even if the battery pack warms.

The DCB118 charger is equipped with an internal fan
designed to cool the battery pack. The fan will turn on
automatically when the battery pack needs to be cooled.

Never operate the charger if the fan does not operate
properly or if ventilation slots are blocked. Do not permit
foreign objects to enter the interior of the charger.

Electronic Protection System

Li-Ion tools are designed with an Electronic Protection
System that will protect the battery pack against
overloading, overheating or deep discharge.

ENGLISH

The tool will automatically turn off if the Electronic
Protection System engages. If this occurs, place the lithium­ion battery pack on the charger until it is fully charged.

Charger Cleaning Instructions



WARNING: Shock hazard. Disconnect the charger
from the AC outlet before cleaning. Dirt and grease
may be removed from the exterior of the charger using
a cloth or soft non-metallic brush. Do not use water or
any cleaning solutions.

Important Charging Notes

1. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if
the battery pack is charged when the air temperature is
between 65°F and 75°F (18° – 24°C). DO NOT charge
the battery pack in an air temperature below +40°F
(+4.5°C), or above +104°F (+40°C). This is important
and will prevent serious damage to the battery pack.

2. The charger and battery pack may become warm to the
touch while charging. This is a normal condition, and
does not indicate a problem. To facilitate the cooling of
the battery pack after use, avoid placing the charger or
battery pack in a warm environment such as in a metal
shed or an uninsulated trailer.

3. If the battery pack does not charge properly:

a. Check operation of receptacle by plugging in a lamp

or other appliance;

b. Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light

switch which turns power off when you turn out the
lights;

c. Move the charger and battery pack to a location

where the surrounding air temperature is
approximately 65°F – 75°F (18° – 24°C);

d. If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery

pack and charger to your local service center.

4. The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to
produce sufficient power on jobs which were easily
done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE to use under these
conditions. Follow the charging procedure. You may
also charge a partially used pack whenever you desire
with no adverse effect on the battery pack.

5. Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but
not limited to, grinding dust, metal chips, 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 the charger
before attempting to clean.

6. Do not freeze or immerse the charger in water or any
other liquid.

Storage Recommendations

1. The best storage place is one that is cool and dry, away
from direct sunlight and excess heat or cold.

2. For long storage, it is recommended to store a fully
charged battery pack in a cool dry place out of the
charger for optimal results.

NOTE: Battery packs should not be stored completely
depleted of charge. The battery pack will need to be
recharged before use.

Timeout Functionality (Fig. A)

To conserve battery life the radio/charger is designed to
power off automatically after an hour of inactivity. This
inactivity could be due to the device being unpaired for
an hour or in the case of the Bluetooth® connection being
broken for the same period of time. If the radio/charger
powers off due to inactivity of any kind refer to Connecting

a Previously Paired Bluetooth® Audio Device.

NOTE: Optimum Bluetooth® streaming range is roughly
30 ft (9m) (line of sight) to the radio/charger but distances
up to 100 feet (30m) are possible. Physical obstacles, other
wireless devices or electromagnetic devices may affect the
connection quality.

If Bluetooth® connection is lost due to exceeding time of
separation, exceeding the optimum distance, obstacles or
otherwise, reconnecting your device with the radio/charger
may be necessary.
