When to Charge the EcoSharp

®

 iBAT40 

Lithium-Ion Battery

NOTE: The EcoSharp

®

 iBAT40 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

®

 iBAT40 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 up and out of the equipment (Fig. 5).

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. 6).

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. 7).

4.  When the bottom light turns green, the battery is fully 

charged (Fig. 7).

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

5.  A fully discharged pack with an internal temperature in the 

normal range will fully charge in 2.5 to 3 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

battery backward to unlock it from the charger (Fig. 8).
