Charging
1. Plug the battery charger into the proper AC voltage source. Charging light will flash in green color repeatedly.
2. Insert the battery cartridge into charger until it stops adjusting to the guide of charger. Terminal cover of charger can be opened with
inserting and closed with pulling out the battery cartridge.
3. When the battery cartridge is inserted, the charging light color will change from green to red and charging will begin. The charging
light will keep lighting up lit steadily during charging. One red charging light indicates charged condition in 0 – 80% and red and green
ones indicate 80 – 100%.
4. With finish of charge, the charging lights will change from red and green ones to green one.
5. Charging time varies by temperature (10°C (50°F) – 40°C (104°F)) that battery cartridge is charged at and conditions of the battery
cartridge, such as a battery cartridge which is new or has not been used for a long period of time.
6. After charging a Ni-MH battery, it is recommendable that the battery is left inserted in the charger for trickle-charging. After 24 hours
from completion of charging, remove the battery cartridge from charger and unplug the charger.
7. After charging a Li-ion battery, remove it from the charger and unplug the charger. Since Li-ion batteries have little self-discharge,
trickle-charging is not necessary.
NOTE:
• The battery charger is for charging Makita-battery cartridge. Never use it for other purposes or for other manufacturer's batteries.
• When you charge a battery cartridge which is new or has not been used for a long period of time, it may not accept a full charge until
after discharging it completely and recharging a couple of times. (Ni-MH battery only)
• If you charge a battery cartridge from a just-operated tool or battery cartridge which has been left in a location exposed to direct sunlight
for a long time, the charging light may flash in red color. If this occurs, wait for a while. Charging will begin after the battery cartridge
cools.
• If the charging light flashes alternately in green and red color, charging is not possible. The terminals on the charger or battery cartridge
are clogged with dust or the battery cartridge is worn out or damaged.
• DC18SD battery charger cannot use with INTERCHANGEABLE ADAPTER (ADP01, 04) and REFRESHING ADAPTER (ADP02, 03).
