Charger diagnostics
This charger is designed to detect certain problems that can
arise with the battery packs or the power source. Problems
are indicated by one LED flashing in different patterns.
Bad Battery
The charger can detect a weak or dam-
aged battery. The red LED flashes in
the pattern indicated on the label. If you
see this bad battery blink pattern, do not
continue to charge the battery. Return it
to a service centre or a collection site for
recycling.
Hot/Cold Pack Delay
When the charger detects a battery that
is excessively hot or excessively cold,
it automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack
delay, suspending charging until the bat-
tery has normalised. After this happens,
the charger automatically switches to
the Pack Charging mode. This feature
ensures maximum battery life. The red
LED flashes in the pattern indicated on
the label when the Hot/Cold pack delay
is detected.
Problem Power Line
When the charger is used with some
portable power sources such as genera-
tors or sources that convert DC to AC,
the charger may temporarily suspend
operation. The LED flashes in the pattern
indicated on the label. This indicates that
the power source is out of limits..
Leaving the battery in the charger
The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the
LED glowing indefinitely. 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). d. If charging problems persist, take
the tool, battery pack and charger to your local Stanley
Fat Max service center.
u
The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to
produce sufficient power on jobs which were easily done
previously.

low the charging procedure.
u
You may also charge a partially used pack whenever you
desire with no adverse affect on the battery pack.
