Charging the Battery
1.
Pull the push lock button on the battery to pull the battery
pack up and out of the equipment (Fig. 7).
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 top green light will illuminate and
stay green (Fig. 8).
3.
Place the battery pack into the charger by sliding the pack
as shown to lock it into position. When you insert the
battery into the charger, the bottom red light will
illuminate
to indicate that the battery is charging (Fig. 9).
4.
When the bottom light turns green, the battery is fully
charged (Fig. 9).
NOTE:
If the top light remains green while the bottom light
alternately flashes red and green, this indicates a temperature
abnormality (i.e. that the battery pack is either too hot or too
cold). If there is only a red blinking light, this indicates that
something is wrong with the battery. Contact Snow Joe

to 3 hours (between 32ºF/0ºC and 113ºF/45ºC). A fully
discharged iBAT40XR battery pack with an internal
temperature in the normal range will fully charge in
3 to 3.5 hours (between 32ºF/0ºC and 113ºF/45ºC).
Heavily cycled battery packs may take longer to charge
completely.
6.
If the charging light indicator alternately blinks red and
green or the light indicator does not come on at all, check
that the battery pack is fully seated into the bay. Remove
the pack and reinsert. If the problem persists, contact the
