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 packs, the charge
level buttons may display a lower charge than they will if
checked a few minutes later. The battery cells “recover” some
of their charge after resting.

WARNING!
Charge only iON+ 24V lithium-ion battery

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 connecting it with 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 packs' charge before starting
a big job or after a long day of use.
