Battery Pack Operation
The equipment is powered by a lithium-ion batteries. The
battery packs are completely sealed and maintenance free.
Battery Charge Level Indicator
The battery packs are 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 as soon as possible.
• 1 level monitoring LED is lit: Battery is flat. Stop work
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.

When to Charge the iONMAX 40V
Lithium-Ion Battery
NOTE: The iONMAX 40V 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 40V 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.

illuminate and stay green (Fig. 8).
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. 9).
