  • Important Charging Notes

    Longest life and best performance can be obtained if 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 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:

    a. Check current at 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 charger and battery pack to a location where the surrounding air temperature is approximately 65°F - 75°F (18°- 24°C).

    d. If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery pack and charger to your local service center.
       
    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 affect on the battery pack.
       
    Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but not limited to, 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 charger before attempting to clean.
       
    Do not freeze or immerse charger in water or any other liquid.
     
    Leaving the Battery in the Charger
    The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the LED glowing indefinitely. PORTER-CABLE chargers feature an automatic tune-up mode which equals or balances the individual cells in the battery pack to allow it to function at peak capacity.
       
    Battery packs should be tuned up weekly or whenever the battery no longer delivers the same amount of work.
       
    To use the automatic tune-up mode, place the battery pack in the charger and leave it for at least 8 hours.
       
    The charger will keep the battery pack fresh and fully charged.
     
    Storage Recommendations
    The best storage place is one that is cool and dry away from direct sunlight and excess heat or cold.
       
    Long storage will not harm the battery pack or charger.
