A charger will not charge a faulty battery pack. The charger
refusing to light could indicate a problem with the charger or
a faulty battery pack.
nOTE: If the charger refuses to light, take the charger and
battery pack to be tested at an authorized service center.
leaving the Battery Pack in the Charger
The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the
charge indicators showing pack charged.
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 may charge at a slower rate than a warm
battery pack.
The DCB118 and DCB1112 chargers are 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
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.
Important Charging Notes
1. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if
the battery pack is charged when the air temperature
is between 65 °F – 75 °F (18 ° C– 24 °C). DO NOT charge
when the battery pack is below +40 °F (+4.5 °C), or
above +104 °F (+40 °C). This is important and will
prevent serious damage to the battery pack.
2. The charger and battery pack may become warm to
the 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.
3. If the battery pack does not charge properly:
a. Check operation of receptacle by plugging in a lamp
or other appliance;
b. Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light
switch which turns power off when you turn out
the lights;
c. Move the charger and battery pack to a
location where the surrounding air temperature is
approximately 65 °F – 75 °F (18 °C – 24 °C);
d. If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery
pack and charger to your local service center.

4. The battery pack should be recharged when it fails
to produce sufficient power on jobs which were easily
done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE to use under these
conditions. Follow the charging procedure. You may also
charge a partially used pack whenever you desire with no
adverse effect on the battery pack.
5. Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but
not limited to, grinding dust, metal chips, steel wool,
aluminum foil, or any buildup of metallic particles should
be kept away from charger cavities. Always unplug the
charger from the power supply when there is no battery
pack in the cavity. Unplug the charger before attempting
to clean.
6. Do not freeze or immerse the charger in water or any
other liquid.
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.
Wall Mounting
Some D
WALT chargers are designed to be wall mountable
e
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 1" (25.4 mm) long, with a screw head diameter of
0.28–0.35" (7–9 mm), screwed into wood to an optimal
depth leaving approximately 7/32" (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.

ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn unit off and remove the battery pack
before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. An accidental
start‑up can cause injury.
