BATTERY CELL AND CHARGER 

The first step in preparing a new tool for 
operation is to fully charge the new Battery. 
New Batteries are shipped discharged and 
must be charged for 24 hours before first 
use. All subsequent charges will require at 
most a 3 hour charge. 

WARNING 

Important Charging Notes

CHEMICAL/ 
EXPLOSION HAZARD

 

Read ALL instructions 
before charging or using  
battery. Failure to follow 

ALL instructions may result in fire, severe 
burns, or release of toxic materials.   

Battery Disposal: 

The EPA certified RBRC

®

 

Battery Recycling Seal on the nickel-cadium 
(Ni-Cd) battery indicates Ramset is voluntarily 
participating in an industry program to collect  
and recycle these batteries at the end of 
their useful life, when taken out of service in 
the United States or Canada. The RBRC

®

  

program provides a convenient alternative 
to placing used Ni-Cd batteries into the 
trash or the municipal waste stream, which 
may be illegal in your area. Please call  
1-800-8-BATTERY

 (1-800-822-8837) for 

information on Ni-Cd battery recycling and 
disposal in your area. Ramset’s involvement 
in this program is part of our commitment 
to preserving our environment and  
conserving our natural resources. 

CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS 

1.  Connect the round plug of the wall 

mount unit to the front of the charger 
base and plug the wall mount unit into 
any 120V AC outlet. A LED by the plug 
indicates the base unit has power. 

2.  Set the charger base on a stable surface 

and insert the battery or batteries, contact 
first, into the opening of the charger base. 

3.  The T3 charger incorporates a charge 

level indicator to inform the user of the 
battery charge level. 

  A red light will illuminate at all times 

during a charge cycle.  
One green light   
 

= battery at 50% capacity  

Two green lights  
 

= battery at 75% capacity 

Three green lights  
 

= battery at FULL capacity 

  The red light will not be lit when the  

battery is at full charge.

•  Do not charge battery when  

temperature is below 40°F (5°C). 

•  Do not drop battery or charger.
•  Do not allow metal objects to come in
