Features

• The DeWalt XRP DC9096 Nickel-Cadmium 18-Volt battery pack offers a high performance level and features 40 percent more run-time than standard power tool batteries. The rechargeable battery has a black base with an orange color connection chamber.
  
  

Charging

• The initial charge time for a DeWalt battery pack is between one to two hours. The charger light will blink on and off during the charging process, and will remain on when the charging process is complete. You should re-charge the battery when you notice a decrease in tool performance. For the best performance, do not let the battery pack discharge completely before re-charging, as this can cause damage to the cells in the battery, decreased run-time, or early end of battery life. For best results, leave the battery pack on the charger when not in use.
  
  

Compatibility

• The DeWalt XRP DC9096 18-Volt battery pack is compatible with the entire line of DeWalt 18-Volt cordless power tools, including drills, screwdrivers, fasteners and nail guns.
  
  

Transportation

• Care must be taken when transporting or shipping power tools with batteries. Be certain that make sure that the switch on the power tool is in a locked off position, and also that the switch is protected so that any other contents in the case cannot turn it on. When traveling with or shipping a battery pack not attached to a power tool, take steps to cover the battery terminals with insulation. Most power tool batteries come with caps to cover the terminals. If you do not have the cap, then tape over the terminals and place the battery in a plastic bag. Keep the battery away from metals that could puncture the bag.
