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. 14).
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. 15).
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. 16).
4. When the bottom light turns green, the battery is fully
charged (Fig. 16).
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 ® +
Sun Joe ® customer service at 1-866-SNOWJOE
(1-866-766-9563).
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 an authorized Snow Joe ® + Sun Joe ® dealer or
call the Snow Joe ® + Sun Joe ® customer service center at
1-866-SNOWJOE (1-866-766-9563) for assistance.
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. 17).
