NOTE: If the charge level button does not appear to be
working, place the battery pack on the charger and charge as
needed.
NOTE: Immediately after using the battery packs, the charge
level button may display a lower charge than it will if checked
a few minutes later. The battery cells “recover” some of their
charge after resting.
Charger Operation

WARNING!
Charge only 24V iON+ lithium-ion battery
packs with their compatible 24V iON+ lithium-ion charger.
Other types of batteries may cause personal injury and
damage.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not allow water to flow
into the charger's AC/DC plug.
When to Charge the iON+ 24VBAT
Lithium-iON Batteries
NOTE: The iON+ 24VBAT lithium-ion battery packs do
not develop a "memory" when charged after only a partial
discharge. Therefore, it is not necessary to run down the
battery pack before inserting the charger plug.
• Use the battery indicator lights to determine when to charge
your iON+ 24VBAT lithium-ion battery packs.
• You can "top-off" your battery pack's charge before starting
a big job or after a long day of use.
Charging the Batteries
1. Open the battery compartment cover to expose the
batteries. Press the push lock buttons on the batteries to
pull them out of the equipment (Fig. 1).
2. Check that the mains voltage is the same as that marked
on the rating plate of the battery charger. Then, insert the
charger's plug into the electrical wall outlet. When you
plug in the charger, two green lights will illuminate and
stay green (Fig. 2).
3. Place the battery packs into the charger by sliding the
packs to lock them into position. When you insert the
batteries into the charger, the two green lights will go
off, and the red lights will illuminate to indicate that the
batteries are charging (Fig. 3).
4. When the charger lights turn green, the batteries are fully
charged (Fig. 3).
NOTE:
A fully discharged pack with an internal
temperature in the normal range will fully charge in
1 hr 50 mins (between 32ºF/0ºC and 113ºF/45ºC).
5. If the light indicators do not come on at all, check that
the battery packs are fully seated into the bay. Remove
the battery packs and reinsert. If the problem persists,
contact an authorized Snow Joe

dealer or
call the Snow Joe

customer service center at
1-866-SNOWJOE (1-866-766-9563) for assistance.
6. When charging is complete, remove the batteries from the
charger by pressing the push lock buttons and sliding the
batteries backward to unlock them from the charger
(Fig. 4).
