Charging procedure (STC5433 unit only)
BLACK+DECKER chargers are designed to charge
BLACK+DECKER battery packs.
Plug the charger (15) into an appropriate outlet before
u
inserting the battery pack (14).
Insert the battery pack (14) into the charger (15) as shown
u
in figure A.
The green LED (15a) will flash indicating that the battery is
u
being charged.
The completion of charge is indicated by the green LED
u
(15a) 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 (15) and battery pack (14) can be left connected
with the LED glowing indefinitely. The charger will keep the
battery pack fresh and fully charged.
Important charging notes
Longest life and best performance can be obtained if
u
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.
The charger and battery pack may become warm to touch
u
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.
If the battery pack does not charge properly:
u
Check current at receptacle by plugging in a lamp or
u
other appliance.
Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch
u
which turns power off when you turn out the lights.
Move charger and battery pack to a location where the
u
surrounding air temperature is approximately 65°F
- 75°F (18°- 24°C).
If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery pack
u
and charger to your local service center.
