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. 8).

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

charged (Fig. 8).

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

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.

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

A red and green flashing indicator light on the charger

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.
