case is cracked or damaged, do not insert into charger. Do not crush, drop or damage
battery pack. Do not use a battery pack or charger that has received a sharp blow,
been dropped, run over or damaged in any way (i.e., pierced with a nail, hit with a
hammer, stepped on). Electric shock or electrocution may result. Damaged battery
packs should be returned to service centre forrecycling.
WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not store or carry the battery pack so that metal
objects can contact exposed battery terminals. For example, do not place the
battery pack in aprons, pockets, tool boxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc., with loose
nails, screws, keys,etc.
CAUTION: When not in use, place tool on its side on a stable surface where it
will not cause a tripping or falling hazard. Some tools with large battery packs will
stand upright on the battery pack but may be easily knockedover.
Transportation
WARNING: Fire hazard. Transporting batteries can possibly cause fire if the battery
terminals inadvertently come in contact with conductive materials. When transporting
batteries, make sure that the battery terminals are protected and well insulated from
materials that could contact them and cause a short circuit. NOTE: Lithium‑ion
batteries should not be put in checkedbaggage.
DeWALT batteries comply with all applicable shipping regulations as prescribed by industry
and legal standards which include UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous
Goods; International Air Transport Association (IATA) Dangerous Goods Regulations,
International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Regulations, and the European Agreement
Concerning The International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR). Lithium‑ion
cells and batteries have been tested to section 38.3of the UN Recommendations on the
Transport of Dangerous Goods Manual of Tests andCriteria.
In most instances, shipping a DeWALT battery pack will be excepted from being classified
as a fully regulated Class 9Hazardous Material. In general, only shipments containing a
lithium‑ion battery with an energy rating greater than 100Watt Hours (Wh) will require
being shipped as fully regulated Class 9. All lithium‑ion batteries have the Watt Hour
rating marked on the pack. Furthermore, due to regulation complexities, DeWALT does not
recommend air shipping lithium‑ion battery packs alone regardless of Watt Hour rating.
Shipments of tools with batteries (combo kits) can be air shipped as excepted if the Watt
Hour rating of the battery pack is no greater than 100Wh.
Regardless of whether a shipment is considered excepted or fully regulated, it is the
shipper's responsibility to consult the latest regulations for packaging, labeling/marking
and documentationrequirements.

ENGLISH
The information provided in this section of the manual is provided in good faith and
believed to be accurate at the time the document was created. However, no warranty,
expressed or implied, is given. It is the buyer’s responsibility to ensure that its activities
comply with the applicableregulations.
Transporting the FLEXVOLTTM Battery
The DeWALT FLEXVOLTTM battery has two modes: Use andTransport.
Use Mode: When the FLEXVOLTTM battery stands alone or is in a DeWALT 18V product, it
will operate as an 18V battery. When the FLEXVOLTTM battery is in a 54V or a 108V (two 54V
batteries) product, it will operate as a 54Vbattery.
Transport Mode: When the cap is attached to the FLEXVOLTTM battery, the battery is in
Transport mode. Keep the cap forshipping.
When in Transport mode, strings of cells are electrically
disconnected within the pack resulting in 3batteries with a
lower Watt hour (Wh) rating as compared to 1battery with
a higher Watt hour rating. This increased quantity of
3batteries with the lower Watt hour rating can exempt the pack from certain shipping
regulations that are imposed upon the higher Watt hour batteries.
For example, the Transport Wh rating might
indicate 3x36Wh, meaning 3batteries of 36Wh
each. The Use Wh rating might indicate 108Wh
(1batteryimplied).
Storage Recommendations
1. The best storage place is one that is cool and dry away from direct sunlight and excess
heat or cold. For optimum battery performance and life, store battery packs at room
temperature when not inuse.
2. For long storage, it is recommended to store a fully charged battery pack in a cool, dry
place out of the charger for optimalresults.
NOTE: Battery packs should not be stored completely depleted of charge. The battery pack
will need to be recharged beforeuse.
