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. Push the battery releasing button on the chain saw
to release the battery pack. Pull the battery out of the
equipment (Fig. 16).
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. 17).
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 in 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. 18).
4. When the green light stays on, the battery is fully charged
(Fig. 18).
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
