When to Charge the EcoSharp
®
PRO
iBAT40XR Lithium-Ion Battery
NOTE: The EcoSharp
®
PRO iBAT40XR 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 EcoSharp
®
PRO iBAT40XR 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.
Charging the Battery Packs
1. Check that the mains voltage is the same as that marked
on the rating plate of the dual port battery charger. Then,
insert the charger's plug into the electrical wall outlet.
When you plug in the charger, the top green light will
illuminate and stay green (Fig. 11).
2. Place the battery packs into the dual port charger by
sliding the packs as shown to lock it into position. When
you insert the batteries into the charger, the bottom red
light will illuminate to indicate that the battery is charging
(Fig. 12).
3.
When the bottom light turns green, the battery is fully
charged (Fig. 12).
NOTE: If the top light remains green while the bottom light
alternately flashes red and green, this indicates a temperature
abnormality (i.e. that the battery pack is either too hot or too
cold). If there is only a red blinking light, this indicates that
something is wrong with the battery. Contact Snow Joe

4. A fully discharged pack with an internal temperature in
the normal range will fully charge in 4 hours (between
32ºF/0ºC and 113ºF/45ºC). Heavily cycled battery packs
may take longer to charge completely.
5. If the charging light indicator alternately blinks red and
green or the light indicator does not come on at all, check
that the battery pack is fully seated into the bay. Remove
the pack and reinsert. If the problem persists, contact the

6.
When charging is complete, remove the battery from the
charger by pulling the push lock button and sliding the
battery backward to unlock it from the charger (Fig. 13).
7. Timely recharging of the battery will help prolong the
battery's life. You must recharge the battery pack when
you notice a drop in the equipment's power.
IMPORTANT! Never allow the battery pack to become fully
discharged as this will cause irreversible damage to the
battery.
Charging a Hot or Cold Battery Pack
A red and green flashing indicator light on the charger
indicates that the battery pack temperature is outside the
charging range. Once the pack is within the acceptable
range, normal charging will take place and the red light will
be continuous. Hot or cold battery packs may take longer to
charge.
