NOTE: When standby for cooling battery, UC18YRL cools the overheated battery by cooling fan.
(2) Regarding the temperatures of the rechargeable
battery
The temperatures for rechargeable batteries are as
shown in the table below, and batteries that have
become hot should be cooled for a while before
being recharged.

4. Disconnect the charger's power cord from the
receptacle
5. Hold the charger firmly and pull out the battery
NOTE
Be sure to pull out the battery from the charger
after use, and then keep it.
CAUTION
If the battery is charged while it is heated because
it has been left for a long time in a location subject
to direct sunlight or because the battery has just
been used, the pilot lamp of the charger lights up
green. In such a case, first let the battery cool, then
start charging.
When the pilot lamp flikers in red quickly (at 0.2-
second intervals), check for and take out any foreign
objects in the charger's battery installation hole. If
there are no foreign objects, it is probable that the
battery or charger is malfunctioning. Take it to your
Authorized Service Center.
Since the built-in micro computer takes about 3
seconds to confirm that the battery being charged
with UC24YFA and UC18YRL are taken out, wait for
a minimum of 3 seconds before reinserting it to
continue charging. If the battery is reinserted within
3 seconds, the battery may not be properly charged.

〈UC18YG〉
Before using the power tool, charge the battery as
follows.
1. Connect the charger power cord to the receptacle
Connecting the power cord will turn on the charger.
2. Insert the battery into the charger
Insert the battery firmly while observing its direction,
until it contacts the bottom of the charger (the pilot
lamp lights up).
CAUTION
If the pilot lamp does not light up, pull out the
power cord from the receptacle and check the
battery mounting condition.
About 50 minutes is required to fully charge the
battery at a temperature of about 20°C. The pilot
lamp goes off to indicate that the battery is fully
charged.
The battery charging time becomes longer when a
temperature is low or the voltage of the power
source is too low.
When the pilot lamp does not go off even if more
than 120 minutes have elapsed after starting of the
charging, stop the charging and contact your
HITACHI AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER.
CAUTION
If the battery is heated due to direct sunlight,
etc., just after operation, the charger pilot lamp
may not light up. At that time, cool the battery
first, then start charging.
3. Disconnect the charger power cord from the receptacle
4. Hold the charger tight and pull out the battery
Regarding electric discharge in case of new
batteries, etc.
As the internal chemical substance of new batteries
and batteries that have not been used for an
extended period is not activated, the electric
discharge might be low when using them the first
and second time. This is a temporary phenomenon,
and normal time required for recharging will be
restored by recharging the batteries 2 – 3 times.
