2. Safety Information
Always read and understand all safety warnings and instructions before using this product. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.
2.1 General Battery Safety
- Do not disassemble, open, or shred battery pack.
- Do not expose battery pack to heat or fire. Avoid storage in direct sunlight.
- Do not short-circuit a battery pack. Do not store battery packs haphazardly in a box or drawer where they may short-circuit each other or be short-circuited by conductive materials.
- Do not subject battery pack to mechanical shock.
- In the event of a battery leaking, do not allow the liquid to come into contact with the skin or eyes. If contact has been made, wash the affected area with copious amounts of water and seek medical advice.
- Keep battery pack clean and dry.
- Do not use any charger other than that specifically provided for use with the equipment.
- Observe the plus (+) and minus (-) marks on the battery and equipment and ensure correct use.
- Keep battery pack out of the reach of children.
2.2 Ni-MH Specific Warnings
- Use only chargers designed for Ni-MH batteries. Using an incompatible charger can damage the battery or cause fire.
- Do not overcharge or deep discharge Ni-MH batteries. Follow recommended charging cycles.
- Ni-MH batteries can get warm during charging and discharging. Ensure adequate ventilation.
3. Setup and Installation
This battery pack is designed for self-installation into compatible Black & Decker tools. Due to its nature as a semi-finished product, some modifications or specific wiring may be required to integrate it correctly into your device. It is recommended that installation be performed by individuals with appropriate technical knowledge or experience in electronics and tool repair.
3.1 Preparation
- Ensure the tool is disconnected from any power source and is turned off.
- Gather necessary tools for disassembly of your Black & Decker device (e.g., screwdrivers, soldering iron if required, wire cutters, heat shrink tubing).
- Carefully remove the old battery pack from your tool, noting its orientation and wiring connections.
3.2 Installation Steps
- Compare the new Seilylanka battery pack with the original battery pack. Note any differences in size or terminal configuration. The cells are approximately 33x23mm each.
- If necessary, transfer or adapt the original wiring harness and connectors to the new battery pack. Ensure correct polarity (+ and -).
- Securely place the new battery pack within the tool's battery compartment. Ensure it fits without excessive force or bending of components.
- Reconnect any internal wiring, ensuring all connections are secure and insulated to prevent short circuits.
- Carefully reassemble the tool, ensuring all screws are tightened and casing is properly aligned.

Important: As this is a self-installation product, the final fit and performance may vary slightly from the original battery. Exercise caution and ensure all connections are correct before first use.
4. Operating the Battery Pack
Once installed, the battery pack functions as the power source for your compatible Black & Decker tool. Proper charging and discharge practices will ensure optimal performance and longevity.
4.1 Initial Charge
It is recommended to fully charge the battery pack before its first use after installation. Use a charger compatible with 3.6V Ni-MH battery packs.
4.2 Charging
- Always use a charger specifically designed for Ni-MH batteries with the correct voltage (3.6V).
- Charge the battery in a well-ventilated area, away from flammable materials.
- Do not leave batteries on charge indefinitely. Follow the charger's instructions for charge times.
- It is normal for Ni-MH batteries to become warm during charging. If the battery becomes excessively hot, discontinue charging immediately.
4.3 Discharging and Use
- Use the tool as per its original operating instructions.
- Avoid completely draining the battery pack. While Ni-MH batteries are less prone to memory effect than Ni-Cd, deep discharges can still reduce overall lifespan.
- If the tool's performance noticeably decreases, it's time to recharge the battery.
5. Maintenance and Storage
Proper maintenance and storage will extend the life of your Ni-MH battery pack.
5.1 Cleaning
- Keep the battery pack and its terminals clean. Use a dry, clean cloth to wipe off any dust or debris.
- Do not use liquids or solvents for cleaning.
5.2 Storage
- Store the battery pack in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and moisture.
- For long-term storage, it is best to store Ni-MH batteries with a partial charge (around 40-50% of capacity) rather than fully charged or fully discharged.
- If storing for extended periods, periodically check the battery and recharge it to maintain a partial charge every few months.
- Keep the battery pack away from metallic objects that could short-circuit the terminals.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your battery pack, refer to the following common problems and solutions.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Battery not charging | Incorrect charger; poor connection; faulty battery cells; charger malfunction. | Ensure charger is compatible and properly connected. Check battery terminals for corrosion. If possible, test with another known-good charger. |
| Tool not powering on or weak performance | Battery not fully charged; incorrect installation; battery degradation. | Fully charge the battery. Recheck installation and wiring connections. If battery is old, it may need replacement. |
| Battery pack gets excessively hot during use/charging | Overload; internal short; faulty cells; improper charging. | Discontinue use/charging immediately. Allow to cool. Check for internal damage or short circuits during installation. Ensure charger is appropriate. |
| Battery pack does not fit correctly | Minor size difference; incorrect model. | Verify the model number. Small adjustments to the tool's compartment or battery pack's outer casing might be necessary for self-installation. |
If problems persist after attempting these solutions, please contact customer support for further assistance.
