Transporting the FLEXVOLT
TM
Battery
The
D
e
WALT
FLEXVOLT
TM
battery has two modes:
Use
and
Transport
.
Use Mode:
When the FLEXVOLT
TM
battery stands alone or is in
a
D
e
WALT
18V product, it will operate as an 18V battery. When
the FLEXVOLT
TM
battery is in a 54V or a 108V (two 54V batteries)
product, it will operate as a 54V battery.
Transport Mode:
When the cap is attached to the FLEXVOLT
TM
battery, the battery is in Transport mode. Keep the cap for
shipping.
When in Transport mode, strings
of cells are electrically
disconnected within the pack
resulting in 3 batteries with a
lower Watt hour (Wh) rating as compared to 1 battery with a
higher Watt hour rating. This increased quantity of 3 batteries
with the lower Watt hour rating can exempt the pack from
certain shipping regulations that are imposed upon the higher
Watt hour batteries.
For example, the Transport
Wh rating might indicate
3 x 36 Wh, meaning 3
batteries of 36 Wh each.
The Use Wh rating might
indicate 108 Wh (1 battery implied).
