OPERATION  
CHARGE  
LEVEL INDICATOR  
APPLICATIONS  
You may use this tool for the following purpose:  
Charging 24 Volt RIDGID lithium-ion batteries  
24vXLi  
CAUTION:  
If at any point during the charging process none  
of the LEDs are lit, remove the battery pack from  
the charger to avoid damaging the product. DO  
NOT insert another battery. Return the charger and  
battery to your nearest service center for service  
or replacement.  
?
CAUTION:  
Charge in a well ventilated area. Do not block  
charger vents. Keep them clear to allow proper  
ventilation.  
CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK  
NOTE: New 24 Volt lithium-ion battery packs will not  
work without first being charged. Before first time use,  
charge the battery pack to activate it.  
It is not necessary to drain the battery pack completely  
before recharging. Lithium-ion battery packs have no  
“memory” and can be recharged at any time. It is therefore  
possible to charge the battery pack before extended usage  
even if the battery pack is not completely drained of charge.  
Use the charge level indicator to determine the amount of  
charge in the battery pack.  
Fig. 2  
CHARGING A HOT BATTERY PACK  
If the battery pack is above normal temperature range, the  
red LED will begin flashing and the green LED will be off.  
When the battery pack cools down to approximately 150°F  
(65°C), the charger will automatically begin fast charge mode.  
Lithium-ion batteries deliver fade free power for their entire  
run time. 24 Volt lithium-ion tools will not gradually lose  
power due to decreasing battery charge. Instead, power  
from the battery pack will drop from full to zero once the  
full charge has been drained from the battery. Once this  
happens, your tool’s power drops from full to zero, and  
recharging the battery is required.  
NOTE: Refer to CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK for  
normal recharging of batteries. If the charger does not charge  
the battery pack under normal circumstances, return both  
the battery pack and charger to your nearest repair center  
for electrical check. For the location of your nearest repair  
center, please call 1-866-539-1710.  
TO CHARGE  
A fully discharged battery pack with a temperature between  
32°F (0°C) and 150°F (65°C) will charge in about an hour.  
Charge the 24 Volt lithium-ion battery pack only with the  
charger provided.  
CHARGING A COOL BATTERY PACK  
If the battery pack is below normal temperature range, the  
red LED will begin flashing and the green LED will be off.  
When the battery warms to a temperature of more than 14°F  
(-10°C), the charger will automatically begin charging.  
Connect the charger to a power supply.  
NOTE:iIf needed, the charger can operate with most  
generators and inverters rated at 300 Watts or higher.  
Attach the battery pack to the charger by aligning the  
raised ribs on the battery pack with the grooves in the  
charger, then slide the battery pack onto the charger.  
See Figure 2.  
Do not place the charger in an area of extreme heat or  
cold. It will work best at normal room temperature.  
After charging is complete, the continuous green light  
will come on and the charge level indicator lights on the  
battery will go off.  
COLD WEATHER OPERATION  
The lithium-ion battery pack can be used in temperatures  
down to -4°F (-20°C). When the battery pack is very cold, it  
may “buzz” for the first minute of use to warm itself up. Put  
the battery pack on a tool and use the tool in a light duty  
application. After about a minute, the pack will have warmed  
itself up and begin operating normally.  
The charger will keep the battery pack fully charged if left  
on the charger.
