Chargers
The DE9116 charger accepts DeWALT NiCd and
NiMH battery packs ranging from 7.2 to 18 V.
The DE9135 charger accepts 7.2 – 18 V NiCd,
NiMH or Li-Ion batteries.
These chargers require no adjustment and are
designed to be as easy as possible to operate.

before inserting battery pack.
2. Insert the battery pack (d) into the charger. The
red (charging) light (p) will blink continuously
indicating that the charging process has started.
3. The completion of charge will be indicated by

Automatic Refresh
The automatic refresh mode will equalise or balance
the individual cells in the battery pack at its peak
capacity. Battery packs should be refreshed weekly
or whenever the pack no longer delivers the same
amount of work.
To refresh your battery pack, place the battery in the
charger as usual. Leave the battery pack for at least
8 hours in the charger.
Hot/Cold Pack Delay
When the charger detects a battery that is too hot
or too cold, it automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack
Delay, suspending charging until the battery has
reached an appropriate temperature. The charger
then automatically switches to the pack charging
mode. This feature ensures maximum battery life.
DEEP DISCHARGE PROTECTION
The battery pack is protected against deep
discharging when it is used in the tool.
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.
