When to Charge the EcoSharp
®
LITE
iBAT20-LTE Lithium-Ion Battery
NOTE: The EcoSharp
®
LITE iBAT20-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 placing it into the charger.
• Use the battery charge indicator lights to determine when to
charge your EcoSharp
®
LITE iBAT20-LTE 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. Pull the push lock button on the battery to pull the battery
pack out of the equipment (Fig. 6).
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 light on the charging plug will
illuminate red. When fully charged, the light will illuminate
green (Fig. 7).
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 light on the charging base
will illuminate red to indicate that the battery is charging
(Fig. 8).
4. When the charger base light turns green, the battery is
fully charged (Fig. 8).
NOTE: If the charger plug light remains green while the charger
base light alternately flashes red and green, this indicates a
temperature abnormality (i.e. that the battery pack is either too
hot or too cold).
5. A fully discharged pack with an internal temperature in
the normal range will fully charge in 70 mins (between
32ºF/0ºC and 113ºF/45ºC). Heavily cycled battery packs
may take longer to charge completely.
6. If the light indicators 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
an authorized Snow Joe

dealer or call

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. 9).
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.
