Chargers
The DCB105 charger accepts 10.8 V, 14.4 V and
18V Li-Ion (DCB121, DCB140, DCB141, DCB180
and DCB181) battery packs.
This charger requires no adjustment and is designed
to be as easy as possible to operate.
Charging Procedure (Figure 2)
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate 220~240 V
outlet before inserting the battery pack.
2. Insert the battery pack (i) into the charger,
making sure the pack is fully seated in the
charger. The red (charging) light will blink
continuously indicating that the charging
process has started.
3. The completion of charge will be indicated by
the red light remaining ON continuously. The
pack is fully charged and may be used at this
time or left in the charger.
NOTE: To ensure maximum performance and life of
Li-Ion batteries, charge the battery pack fully before
first use.
Charging Process
Refer to the table below for the state of charge of
