If battery pack is hot, red light should become steady
after battery pack has cooled down.
If battery pack is deeply discharged, red light should
become steady after voltage has increased, normally
within 30 minutes.
If after one hour red light is still flashing, this indicates a
defective battery pack and should be replaced.

required to recharge a completely discharged tool.
■ The battery pack will become slightly warm to the touch while
charging. This is normal and does not indicate a problem.

OPERATION
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR RECHARGING HOT BATTERIES
When using your tool continuously, the batteries in your battery pack will become hot. You should let a hot battery pack
cool down for approximately 30 minutes before attempting to recharge. When the battery pack becomes discharged and is
hot, this will cause the red light on your battery charger to flash. When battery pack cools down, red light will glow
continuously indicating fast charging mode, 1 hour charge time. Once the battery pack cools down, it will recharge battery
pack in fast charging mode as normal.
NOTE: This situation only occurs when continuous use of your tool causes the batteries to become hot. It does not occur
under normal circumstances. Refer to "CHARGING BATTERY PACK" for normal recharging of batteries. If the charger
does not charge your battery pack under normal circumstances, return both the battery pack and charger to your nearest
Ryobi Authorized Service Center for electrical check.
