the bottom of the housing.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Introduction
The DC9319 battery charger (Fig. 1) is designed to charge DEWALT battery packs with voltage
from 7.2 up to 18 volts in about one hour. These chargers require no adjustment and are designed
to be as easy as possible to operate. Simply place your battery pack into a receptacle of a plugged
in charger and it will automatically charge the pack. Consult the chart at the end of this manual for
compatibility of chargers and battery packs.
Important Safety Instructions for All Battery Packs
When ordering replacement battery packs, be sure to include catalog number and voltage. Consult
the chart at the end of this manual for compatibility of chargers and battery packs.
The battery pack is not fully charged out of the carton. Before using the battery pack and charger,
read the safety instructions below. Then follow charging procedures outlined.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
Do not charge or use battery in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Inserting or removing the battery from the charger may
ignite the dust or fumes.
NEVER force battery pack into charger. DO NOT modify battery pack in any way to fit
into a non-compatible charger as battery pack may rupture causing serious personal
injury. Consult the chart at the end of this manual for compatibility of batteries and chargers.
Charge the battery packs only in D
EWALT chargers.
DO NOT splash or immerse in water or other liquids.
Do not store the tool, the charger or battery pack in locations where the temperature
may reach or exceed 105 ˚F (40.5 ˚C) (such as outside sheds or metal buildings in
summer).
WARNING: Shock hazard. Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If battery
pack 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 center
for recycling.
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.
NOTE: Battery storage and carrying caps are provided for use whenever the battery
is out of the tool or charger. Remove cap before placing battery in charger or tool.
WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not store or carry battery so that metal objects
can contact exposed battery terminals. For example, do not place battery in
aprons, pockets, tool boxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc., with loose nails,
screws, keys, etc. without battery cap. Transporting batteries can possibly cause
fires if the battery terminals inadvertently come in contact with conductive materials
such as keys, coins, hand tools and the like. The US Department of Transportation Hazardous
Material Regulations (HMR) actually prohibit transporting batteries in commerce or on airplanes (i.e.,
packed in suitcases and carry-on luggage) UNLESS they are properly protected from short circuits.
So when transporting individual batteries, make sure that the battery terminals are protected and
well insulated from materials that could contact them and cause a short circuit.
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR NICKEL CADMIUM (NiCd) OR
NICKEL METAL HYDRIDE (NiMH)
Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is severely damaged or is completely worn
out. The battery pack can explode in a fire.
A small leakage of liquid from the battery pack cells may occur under extreme usage
or temperature conditions. This does not indicate a failure.
However, if the outer seal is broken:
a. and the battery liquid gets on your skin, immediately wash with soap and water for several
minutes.
b. and the battery liquid gets into your eyes, flush them with clean water for a minimum of
10 minutes and seek immediate medical attention. (Medical note: The liquid is 25-35%
solution of potassium hydroxide.)
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR LITHIUM ION (Li-Ion)
Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is severely damaged or is completely
worn out. The battery pack can explode in a fire. Toxic fumes and materials are created when
lithium ion battery packs are burned.
If battery contents come into contact with the skin, immediately wash area with
mild soap and water. If battery liquid gets into the eye, rinse water over the open eye for
15 minutes or until irritation ceases. If medical attention is needed, the battery electrolyte is
composed of a mixture of liquid organic carbonates and lithium salts.
Contents of opened battery cells may cause respiratory irritation. Provide fresh air. If
symptoms persists, seek medical attention.
WARNING: Burn hazard. Battery liquid may be flammable if exposed to spark or flame.
The RBRC™ Seal
The RBRC™ (Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corp oration) Seal on the
nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride or lithium ion batteries (or battery packs)
indicate that the costs to recycle these batteries (or battery packs) at the end of
their useful life have already been paid by D
EWALT. In some areas, it is illegal to
place spent nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride or lithium ion batteries in the trash
or municipal solid waste stream and the RBRC program provides an environmentally
conscious alternative.
RBRC™ in cooperation with D
EWALT and other battery users, has established programs in
the United States and Canada to facilitate the collection of spent nickel cadmium, nickel metal
hydride or lithium ion batteries. Help protect our environment and conserve natural resources
by returning the spent nickel cadmium and nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride or lithium ion
batteries to an authorized D
EWALT service center or to your local retailer for recycling. You may
also contact your local recycling center for information on where to drop off the spent battery.
RBRC™ is a registered trademark of the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation.
Using Automatic Tune-Up™ Mode
The automatic Tune-Up™ Mode equalizes or balances the individual cells in the battery pack
allowing it to function at peak capacity. Battery packs should be tuned up weekly or after
10 charge/discharge cycles or whenever the pack no longer delivers the same amount of work.
To use the automatic Tune-Up™, place the battery pack in the charger and leave it for at least
8 hours. The charger will cycle through the following modes.
1. The red light will blink continuously indicating that the 1-hour charge cycle has started.
2. When the 1-hour charge cycle is complete, the light will stay on continuously and will no longer
blink. This indicates that the pack is fully charged and can be used at this time.
3. If the pack is left in the charger after the initial 1-hour charge, the charger will begin the
Automatic Tune-Up mode. This mode continues up to 8 hours or until the individual cells in the
battery pack are equalized. The battery pack is ready for use and can be removed at any time
during the Tune-Up mode.
