The battery pack is now fully charged and the charger automatically switches to equalisation mode. The battery pack can be removed at any time or left in the connected charger indefinitely. If the new pack also refuses to charge, have your charger tested by an authorised DEWALT repair agent. When plugged into power sources such as generators or sources that convert DC to AC, the red charging indicator may blink twice, switch off and repeat. Do not charge the battery pack at ambient temperatures < 4 °C or > 40 °C. To remove the battery pack, press the two release buttons (10) simultaneously and pull the pack out of the grip (8).
