Problem Pack or Charger
This charger is designed to detect certain problems that can
arise. Problems are indicated by the red light flashing at a fast
rate. If this occurs, remove and then reinsert the battery pack
into the charger. If the problem persists, try a different battery
pack to determine if the charger is working properly. If the new
pack charges correctly, then the original pack is defective and
should be returned to a service center or other collection site
for recycling. If the new battery pack elicits the same trouble
indication as the original, have the charger and the battery pack
tested at an authorized service center.
The compatible charger(s) will not charge a faulty battery pack.
The charger will indicate faulty battery by refusing to light or by
displaying problem pack or charger blink pattern.
nOtE: This could also mean a problem with a charger.
If the charger indicates a problem, take the charger and battery
pack to be tested at an authorised service centre.
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 battery pack will charge at that slower rate

overheating or deep discharge.
The tool will automatically turn off if the Electronic Protection
System engages. If this occurs, place the lithium-ion battery
pack on the charger until it is fully charged.
