Warnings and Precautions
DCI assumes no liability for problems that occur when you do not follow these warnings and precautions,
as well as the general precautions outlined in the Safety Precautions and Warnings section.
WARNlNG: The charger is designed with adequate safeguards to protect you from shock
and other hazards when used as specified within this manual. If you use the charger in a
manner not specified by this document, the protection provided by the charger may be
impaired. Please read this manual before using the charger.
WARNlNG: If you transport the charger in checked baggage, be sure to remove the bat-
teries from the charger before packing it.
Battery
Temperature
• The temperature of the air around the battery charger should be between
+32°F to +95°F (0°C to +35°C). Charging the battery outside this range may
increase charge time, harm battery performance, or reduce battery life.
• It is important to maintain free airflow around the charger, especially near the
top and bottom vents.
• If the battery internal temperature is below +32°F (0°C) or above 113°F
(+45°C), the charger will not deliver charge current and will indicate a tem-
perature fault.
Battery Voltage
• The battery voltage should be in the range of 8 V to 16.8 V when inserted into
the charger.
• If the battery voltage is above 17 V, the charger will display a flashing red
battery fault indicator and will not charge the battery.
• If the battery voltage is between 16.8 V and 17 V, the charger will display a
charge complete status.
• If the battery voltage is between 4 V and 8 V, a small trickle charge current will
be applied to bring the battery voltage up to 8 V. If the battery voltage does not
increase to above 8 V within 2 minutes, a battery fault will be displayed and
charging discontinued.
Charge Time
• The charger will fully charge a battery in less than 3 hours if the ambient tem-
perature is inside the operating ambient temperature specification.
• If the ambient temperature is above or below the operating ambient tempera-
ture range, the charger may eventually charge the battery, but the charge time
will be longer than 3 hours.
• If charging is not complete inside 8 hours, a battery fault will be displayed and
charging discontinued.
Power Input
Use the supplied AC/DC adapter or the cigarette lighter adapter cable to power the
charger with DC power in the specified voltage range. Failure to do so could
damage the charger, void the warranty, and cause a safety hazard.
User Serviceability
Do not disassemble the charger. It contains no user-serviceable parts.
Liquids
Avoid spilling liquids on the charger. Liquids spilled onto the charger could short
circuit it. If liquids are accidentally spilled, send the charger to DCI for repair.
Battery Disposal
All DCI lithium-ion batteries are classified by the federal government as non-
hazardous waste and are safe for disposal in the normal municipal waste stream.
These batteries, however, do contain recyclable materials and are accepted for
recycling by the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation's (RBRC) Battery
Recycling Program. Please call 1-800-8-BATTERY or go to the RBRC website at
www.rbrc.org for information on recycling your used battery.
