Battery Pack Operation
The equipment is powered by a lithium-ion battery. The battery
packs are completely sealed and maintenance free.
m
WARNING!
Before first use, the batteries requires
at least 55 min charge time to be fully charged. When the
batteries are at low capacity, recharge for 55 min again before
resuming operation.
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,
connect the battery with 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.
Charger Operation
m
WARNING!
Charge only iON+ 24V lithium-ion battery
packs with its compatible iON+ 24V 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-LTE
Lithium-Ion Batteries
NOTE:
The iON+ 24VBAT-LTE 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 iON+ 24VBAT-LTE 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.
