7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Red & Green LED Flashing Alternately | Abnormal battery temperature (too hot or too cold) or damaged battery. | Remove battery, allow it to reach room temperature (4℃ to 40℃). Reinsert. If issue persists, the battery may be damaged and needs replacement. |
| Battery not charging (no LED activity or incorrect LED) | Charger not plugged in, faulty outlet, poor battery connection, incompatible battery, or damaged battery/charger. | Check power connection. Try a different outlet. Ensure battery is fully seated. Verify battery is a compatible DEWALT NiCd/NiMH type. If problem persists, contact support. |
| Slow charging | Battery capacity is very high, or environmental factors. | Ensure charger is in a well-ventilated area. Charging time for a 4.0Ah battery is approximately 1 hour. Larger capacity batteries will take longer. |
