Product Information
Full details
The Yard Force 20V Dual Battery Charger is designed for users with multiple Yard Force cordless gardening tools from the CR20 range. Its primary benefit is significantly reduced downtime by allowing simultaneous charging of two 20V lithium-ion batteries, ensuring your tools are always ready. A minor caveat is its specific compatibility with the CR20 battery series only. This charger supports 2.0Ah, 2.5Ah, 4.0Ah, and 5.0Ah batteries, offering a faster 4A dual charging solution to keep your gardening operations efficient.

FAQs
How long does it take to charge a 4.0Ah battery?
Charging times vary based on the battery's remaining charge, but the 4A dual charger significantly reduces the time compared to single chargers. For a depleted 4.0Ah battery, expect a full charge in approximately 1-2 hours.
Can I charge batteries of different capacities at the same time?
Yes, you can charge batteries of different capacities (e.g., a 2.0Ah and a 4.0Ah) simultaneously. The charger will manage the charging process for each independently.
Is this charger compatible with my Yard Force 18V tools?
No, this charger is specifically designed for the Yard Force 20V CR20 battery range and is not compatible with 18V batteries or other voltage systems.
What do the indicator lights on the charger mean?
The indicator lights typically show the charging status (e.g., charging, fully charged, error). Refer to the product manual for specific light codes associated with the AL C40D-UK model.
How many batteries can this charger charge at once?
This is a dual charger, meaning it can charge two batteries simultaneously.
Where should I store the charger when not in use?
Store the charger in a clean, dry place, away from extreme temperatures and moisture, to ensure its longevity and safe operation.
Troubleshooting
Battery not charging
Ensure the battery is correctly seated in the charging port. Check that the charger is properly plugged into a working power outlet. Verify the battery is a compatible Yard Force 20V CR20 model. Clean the battery and charger contacts.
Charger not powering on (no indicator light)
Confirm the power cord is securely connected to the charger and the wall outlet. Test the outlet with another device to ensure it is functional. If the issue persists, the charger may be faulty.
Overheating during charging
Disconnect the charger and batteries immediately and allow them to cool down. Ensure the charger is in a well-ventilated area and not covered. If overheating is frequent, contact customer support.
One port not charging
Try a different compatible battery in the non-functioning port. If the issue persists with multiple batteries, there may be a fault with that specific charging port.
