Charging the Battery Pack (Battery Sold Separately)

BLACK+DECKER chargers are designed to charge BLACK+DECKER battery packs for maximum performance and life.

1. Charge the battery pack fully before first use.
2. Recharge discharged batteries as soon as possible after use. Do not discharge batteries fully.
