FUEL GAUGE BATTERY PACKS

Some DeWALT battery packs include a fuel gauge which consists of three green LED lights that indicate the level of
charge remaining in the battery pack. To actuate the fuel gauge, press and hold the fuel gauge button. A combination
of the three green LED lights will illuminate, designating the level of charge left. When the level of charge in the
battery is below the usable limit, the fuel gauge will not illuminate and the battery will need to be recharged.
NOTE:
The fuel gauge is only an indication of the approximate charge left on the battery pack, according to
the indicators shown here. It does
not
indicate tool functionality and is subject to variation based on product
components, temperature and end-user application.
