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,
u
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
u
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 STANLEY
u
FATMAX chargers.
DO NOT splash or immerse in water or other liquids.
u
Do not store or use the tool and battery pack in locations
u
where the temperature may fall below 4 ˚C (39.2 ˚F) (such
as outside sheds or metal buildings in winter), or 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
u
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,
u
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
u
irritation. Provide fresh air. If symptoms persist, seek
&
medical attention.
Warning! Burn hazard. Battery liquid may be
@
flammable if exposed to spark or flame.
Warning! Never attempt to open the battery pack
for any reason. If battery pack case is cracked or
damaged, do not insert into charger. Do not crush,
drop or damage battery pack. Do not use a battery
pack or charger that has received a sharp blow,
been dropped, run over or damaged in any way (i.e.,
pierced with a nail, hit with a hammer, stepped on).
Electric shock or electrocution may result. Damaged
battery packs should be returned to service centre
for recycling.

&
Warning! Fire hazard. Do not store or carry the
battery pack so that metal objects can contact
exposed battery terminals. For example, do not
place the battery pack in aprons, pockets, tool boxes,
product kit boxes, drawers, etc., with loose nails,
@
screws, keys, etc.
Caution! When not in use, place tool on its side on
a stable surface where it will not cause a tripping
or falling hazard. Some tools with large battery packs
will stand upright on the battery pack but may be easily
knocked over.
&
Transportation
Warning! Fire hazard. Transporting batteries
can possibly cause fire if the battery terminals
inadvertently come into contact with conductive
materials. When transporting batteries, make
sure that the battery terminals are protected and
well-insulated from materials that could contact them
and cause a short circuit. Note: Lithium-ion batteries
should not be put in checked baggage.
STANLEY FATMAX batteries comply with all applicable
shipping regulations as prescribed by industry and legal
standards, which include UN Recommendations on the
Transport of Dangerous Goods; International Air Transport
Association (IATA) Dangerous Goods Regulations;
International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Regulations;
and the European Agreement Concerning The International
Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR). Lithium‑ion
cells and batteries have been tested to section 38.3 of the
UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods
Manual of Tests and Criteria.
In most instances, shipping a STANLEY FATMAX battery
pack will be excepted from being classified as a fully regulated
Class 9 Hazardous Material. In general, only shipments
containing a lithium-ion battery with an energy rating greater
than 100 Watt Hours (Wh) will require being shipped as
fully regulated Class 9. All lithium-ion batteries have the Wh
rating marked on the pack. Furthermore, due to regulation
complexities, STANLEY FATMAX does not recommend air
shipping lithium-ion battery packs alone regardless of Wh
rating. Shipments of tools with batteries (combo kits) can be
air shipped as excepted if the Wh rating of the battery pack is
no greater than 100 Wh.
Regardless of whether a shipment is considered excepted
or fully regulated, it is the shipper's responsibility to consult
the latest regulations for packaging, labeling/marking and
documentation requirements.
