Charging the Battery
1. Push the push lock button on the battery to pull the
battery pack out of the equipment (Fig. 1).
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 right green light will illuminate
and stay green (Fig. 2).
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 top right green light will
go off, and the top left red light will illuminate to indicate
that the battery is charging (Fig. 3).
4. When the charger light turns green, the battery is fully
charged (Fig. 3).
5. A fully discharged pack with an internal temperature in
the normal range will fully charge in 55 mins (between
32ºF/0ºC and 113ºF/45ºC).
6. If the light indicators do not come on at all, check that the
battery pack is fully seated into the bay.
Remove the battery pack and reinsert. If the problem
persists, contact an authorized Snow Joe

7. When charging is complete, remove the battery from the
charger by pulling the push lock button and sliding the
battery backward to unlock it from the charger (Fig. 4).
8. Timely recharging of the battery will help prolong the
battery's life. You must recharge the battery pack when
you notice a drop in the equipment's power.
IMPORTANT! Never allow the battery pack to become fully
discharged as this will cause irreversible damage to the
battery.
Charging a Hot or Cold Battery Pack
The green indicator light on the charger base indicates that the
battery pack temperature is outside the charging range.
Once the pack is within the acceptable range, normal charging
will take place and the red light will be continuous. Hot or cold
battery packs may take longer to charge.
