Battery Pack Operation
The equipment is 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 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, insert 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+ iBAT24-LT lithium-iON
battery packs with compatible iCHRG24-AC lithium-iON
battery 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+ iBAT24-LT
Lithium-iON Battery
NOTE: The iON+ iBAT24-LT 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 inserting the charger plug.
• Use the battery indicator lights to determine when to charge
your iON+ iBAT24-LT 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. Open the battery compartment cover, and push the push
lock button on the battery to pull the battery out from the
battery compartment (Fig. 3).
2. Check that the mains voltage is the same as that marked
on the rating plate of the battery charger. Then, plug the
charger adapter into an appropriate AC power outlet.
Connect the charger plug into the charge socket of the
battery to start charging (Fig. 4).
3. The battery will take approximately 100 minutes to charge.
The battery indicator LEDs will twinkle and illuminate one
by one during the charging process. Unplug the charger
immediately when the 3 LEDs are all illuminated.
