refusing to light. 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 throughout the entire charging cycle and will
not return to maximum charge rate even if the battery
pack warms.
The DCB118 charger is equipped with an internal fan
designed to cool the battery pack. The fan will turn on
automatically when the battery pack needs to be cooled.
Never operate the charger if the fan does not operate
properly or if ventilation slots are blocked. Do not
permit foreign objects to enter the interior of the
charger.
Electronic Protection system
XR Li-Ion tools are designed with an Electronic
Protection System that will protect the battery pack
against overloading, 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.

Wall Mounting

These chargers are designed to be wall mountable or to
sit upright on a table or work surface. If wall mounting,
locate the charger within reach of an electrical outlet,
and away from a corner or other obstructions which
may impede air flow. Use the back of the charger as a
template for the location of the mounting screws on the
wall. Mount the charger securely using drywall screws
(purchased separately) at least 25.4 mm long with a
screw head diameter of 7–9 mm, screwed into wood to
an optimal depth leaving approximately 5.5 mm of the
screw exposed. Align the slots on the back of the charger
with the exposed screws and fully engage them in the
slots.
Charger Cleaning Instructions
WARNING: Shock hazard. Disconnect the charger
from the AC outlet before cleaning. Dirt and grease
may be removed from the exterior of the charger using
a cloth or soft non-metallic brush. Do not use water or
any cleaning solutions. Never let any liquid get inside the
tool; never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.

Battery Packs

Important Safety Instructions for All Battery Packs
When ordering replacement battery packs, be sure to
include catalogue number and voltage.
The battery pack is not fully charged out of the carton.
Before using the battery pack and charger, read the
safety instructions below. Then follow charging
procedures outlined.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not charge or use battery in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Inserting or removing the
battery from the charger may ignite the dust or
fumes.
• Never force battery pack into charger. Do not
modify battery pack in any way to fit into a non-
compatible charger as battery pack may rupture
causing serious personal injury.
• Charge the battery packs only in D
• DO NOT splash or immerse in water or other liquids.
• Do not store or use the tool and battery pack in
locations where the temperature may reach or
exceed 40 ˚C (104 ˚F) (such as outside sheds or metal
buildings in summer).
• Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is
severely damaged or is completely worn out. The
battery pack can explode in a fire. Toxic fumes and
materials are created when lithium-ion battery packs
are burned.
• If battery contents come into contact with the skin,
immediately wash area with mild soap and water. If
battery liquid gets into the eye, rinse water over the
open eye for 15 minutes or until irritation ceases. If
medical attention is needed, the battery electrolyte is
composed of a mixture of liquid organic carbonates
and lithium salts.
• Contents of opened battery cells may cause
respiratory irritation. Provide fresh air. If symptoms
persists, seek medical attention.
WARNING: Burn hazard. Battery liquid may be
flammable if exposed to spark or flame.
