When to Charge the iON100V Lithium-
iON Batteries
NOTE: The iON100V-2.5AMP and iON100V-5AMP 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 iON100V-2.5AMP or iON100V-5AMP 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
1. Flip open the battery compartment cover, and push the
battery releasing button in the battery compartment
to release the battery pack. Pull the battery out of the
equipment (Fig. 4).
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, the red light will illuminate steadily
(Fig. 5).
m
CAUTION!
Charger iON100V-RCH is rated for
100 – 120 volt AC only. DO NOT plug the charger into any
outlet that will provide power with a higher voltage.
Over voltage charging will be harmful to both the battery and
charger, and may cause the charger to burn out.
3. Place the battery pack into the charger by sliding the
pack as shown until it clicks into the position. When the
battery is inserted properly, the green light will slowly
flash to indicate that the battery is charging . The red light
will turn off. You will also hear a fan sound (Fig. 6).
4. When the green light stays on, the battery is fully charged
(Fig. 6).
NOTE: If the green light is off while the red light flashes slowly,
this indicates a temperature abnormality (i.e. that the
battery pack is too hot). If the green light is off while the
red light flashes rapidly, this indicates there's something
wrong with the charger or the battery. Wait for a while and
try to reinsert the battery into the charger. If the situation still
persists, contact Snow Joe

5. A fully discharged iON100V-2.5AMP battery pack with an
internal temperature in the normal range will fully charge
in 50 minutes (between 32ºF/0ºC and 113ºF/45ºC).
A fully discharged iON100V-5AMP battery pack with an
internal temperature in the normal range will fully charge
in 100 minutes (between 32ºF/0ºC and 113ºF/45ºC).
Heavily cycled battery packs may take longer to charge
