Fuel Gauge Battery Packs (Fig. B)
Some battery packs include a fuel gauge. When the fuel
gauge button is pressed and held, the LED lights will
indicate the approximate level of charge remaining. This
does not indicate tool functionality and is subject to
variation based on product components, temperature, and
end‑user application.
Transportation

carry, or transport 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, coins, hand tools, etc.
When transporting individual battery packs, make
sure that the battery terminals are protected and well
insulated from materials that could contact them and
cause a short circuit. NOTE: Li‑ion battery packs should
not be put in checked baggage on airplanes and must
be properly protected from short circuits if they are in
carry‑on baggage.

WALT FlEXVOlT™ Battery Pack
e
The D
WALT FLEXVOLT™ battery pack has a battery cap that
e
should be used when shipping the battery pack.
Attach the cap to the battery pack to ready it for shipping.
This converts the battery pack to three separate 20V
batteries. The three batteries have the Watt hour rating
labeled "Shipping" on the battery pack. If shipping without
the cap or in a tool, the pack is one battery at the Watt hour
rating labeled "Use".
Example battery pack label:
USE: 120 Wh SHIPPING: 3 x 40 Wh
In this example, the battery pack is three batteries with
40 Watt hours each when using the cap. Otherwise, the
battery pack is one battery with 120 Watt hours.
