Hi guys.

Would anyone have a link to a website where I could find what the initial charge time is for a brand new…

18v 4.0Ah Li-ion deWalt battery for a DCD985N?

I vaguely remember when I purchased a Li-Ion battery for a hedge trimmer once, where the initial charge was approx 12 hrs.

Any help would be grateful. 🙂

The red light which initially stayed flashing, is now staying on, after 20mins of flashing.

I’m sure there is a manual out there on the net somewhere. ::)

If the light is solid red (not blinking), then it is charged.
