CHARGING PROCEDURE
PORTER-CABLE chargers are designed to charge PORTER-CABLE battery packs.
Charge times are: PCC690L in 35-100 mins., PCC691L in 65-200 mins. and PCC695L in
160-300mins.dependingonthepackbeingcharged.
1.Plugthechargerintoanappropriateoutletbeforeinsertingthebatterypack.
2.Insertthebatterypackintothecharger.
3. The LED will flash indicating that the battery is being charged.
4. The completion of charge is indicated by the LED remaining on continuously.
Thepackisfullychargedandmaybeusedatthistimeorleftonthecharger.
Recharge discharged batteries as soon as possible after use or battery
life may be greatly diminished. For longest battery life, do not discharge
batteries fully. It is recommended that the batteries be recharged after each use.
CHARGER DIAGNOSTICS
Thischargerisdesignedtodetectcertainproblemsthatcanarisewiththebatterypacks
or the power source. Problems are indicated by one LED flashing in different patterns.
BAD BATTERY
Thechargercandetectaweakordamagedbattery.TheLEDflashesinthepattern
indicatedonthelabel.Ifyouseethisbadbatteryblinkpattern,donotcontinueto
charge the battery. Return it to a service center or a collection site for recycling.
HOT/COLD PACK DELAY

pattern indicated on the label.
PROBLEM POWER LINE
Whenthechargerisusedwithsomeportablepowersourcessuchasgenerators
or sources that convert DC to AC, the charger may temporarily suspend
operation. The LED flashes in the pattern indicated on the label. This indicates
that the power source is out of limits.
LEAVING THE BATTERY IN THE CHARGER

IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES
1.Longestlifeandbestperformancecanbeobtainedifthebatterypackischarged
whentheairtemperatureisbetween65°Fand75°F(18°-24°C).DONOTchargethe
batterypackinanairtemperaturebelow+40°F(+4.5°C),orabove+105°F(+40.5°C).
Thisisimportantandwillpreventseriousdamagetothebatterypack.
2.Thechargerandbatterypackmaybecomewarmtotouchwhilecharging.Thisis
a normal condition, and does not indicate a problem. To facilitate the cooling of the
batterypackafteruse,avoidplacingthechargerorbatterypackinawarmenvironment
such as in a metal shed, or an uninsulated trailer.
3.Ifthebatterypackdoesnotchargeproperly:
 a.Checkcurrentatreceptaclebyplugginginalamporotherappliance
 b.Checktoseeifreceptacleisconnectedtoalightswitchwhichturnspoweroff
when you turn out the lights.
 c.Movechargerandbatterypacktoalocationwherethesurroundingair 
 temperatureisapproximately65°F-75°F(18°-24°C).
 d.Ifchargingproblemspersist,takethetool,batterypackandchargertoyour
local service center.
4.Thebatterypackshouldberechargedwhenitfailstoproducesufficientpower
on jobs which were easily done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE to use under these
conditions.Followthechargingprocedure.Youmayalsochargeapartiallyusedpack
wheneveryoudesirewithnoadverseaffectonthebatterypack.
