p.1 #7 · p.1 #7 · Quick Question LC-E4/LP-E4 Charger & Battery | |
Although I agree with all of the above statements, I had an LPE-4 battery that had discharged get extreamly hot during one of the charging cycles. It turns out the battery must have had an internal short. I threw it away afterwards. Since then when i charge any of my batteries, i try to keep an eye on them and normally during a charge they only get slightly warm to the touch. As a side note when DeWalt first started coming out with their battery opperated 12v portable equipment, i baught a 12v driver drill combo. I had the battery charging in my shop and began noticing a "burning" smell. I went over to the battery and charger just as the battery burst into flames. I took the battery and charger an ripped it out of the wall and threw it out my door into the snow. Upon calling DeWalt, they wanted me to send in the battery and charger and replaced both of them with new units. Consequently, while charging batteries, i make sure i'm around "just in case".
