Charging procedure (fig. A)

Stanley FatMax chargers are designed to charge Stanley 

FatMax battery packs.

u

Plug the charger (6) into an appropriate outlet before 

inserting the battery pack (4).

u

Insert the battery pack (4) into the charger (6) as shown in 

figure A.

u

The LED (6a) will flash indicating that the battery is being

charged.

u

The completion of charge is indicated by the LED (6a) 

remaining on continuously. The pack is fully charged and 

may be used at this time or left on the charger.

Note:

 Recharge discharged batteries as soon as possible 

after use or battery life may be greatly diminished. For longest 

battery life, do not discharge batteries fully.  

It is recommended that the batteries be recharged after each 

use.

Leaving the battery in the charger

The charger (6) and battery pack (4) can be left connected 

with the LED glowing indefinitel . The charger will keep the 

battery pack fresh and fully charged.

Important charging notes

u

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 +105°F (+40.5°C). This is important and will 

prevent serious damage to the battery pack.

u

The charger and battery pack may become warm to 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.

u

If the battery pack does not charge properly:

u

Check current at receptacle by plugging in a lamp or 

other appliance.

u

Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch 

which turns power off when you turn out the lights. 

u

Move charger and battery pack to a location where the 

surrounding air  temperature is approximately 65°F 

- 75°F (18°- 24°C).

u

If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery pack 

and charger to your local service center.

u

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 affect on the battery pack.

u

Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but 

not limited to, steel wool, aluminium 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.

u

Do not freeze or immerse charger in water or any other 

liquid.

Warning!

 Do not allow any liquid to get inside charger. 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.

Charger Diagnostics (fig. B)

Refer to the indicators in figure B for the charge status of th

battery pack.

Bad Battery

If you see a bad battery blink pattern, do not continue

to charge this battery. Return it to a service center or a

collection site for recycling.

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 pack will charge at
