Battery Pack Operation
The equipment can be powered by a lithium-ion battery.
The battery pack is completely sealed and maintenance free.
Battery Charge Level Indicator
The battery pack is equipped with a push button for checking
the charge level. Simply press the push button to read off the
battery charge level from the LEDs of the battery indicator:
• All 3 level monitoring LEDs are lit: Battery charge level
is high.
• 2 level monitoring LEDs are lit: Battery charge level is
decreasing. Stop work, or plug in the power cord as soon
as possible.
• 1 level monitoring LED is lit: Battery is flat. Stop work,
or plug in the power cord IMMEDIATELY and charge the
battery. Otherwise the battery’s service life will be greatly
shortened.
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 pack, 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.

WARNING!
Charge only iONMAX iBAT40 lithium-ion

When to Charge the iONMAX iBAT40
lithium-ion battery
NOTE: The iONMAX iBAT40 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 placing it into the charger.
• Use the battery charge indicator lights to determine when to
charge your iONMAX iBAT40 lithium-ion battery pack.
• You can "top-off" your battery pack's charge before starting
a big job or after a long day of use.
