OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Note: The battery is not shipped fully charged. It is recommended to fully charge before first use to ensure that maximum run time can be achieved. This lithium-ion battery will not develop a memory and may be charged at any time.

Low voltage charging:
If the battery has been stored with little to no charge for a long period of time, the charger will go into recovery mode, which will take 20 hrs to fully charge the battery. This will enhance the life of the battery. Once it is fully charged, the next charge will return to standard charging.

Checking battery capacity
Press the battery capacity indicator (BCI) button. The lights will illuminate according to the battery’s capacity level. See chart below:

LIGHTS CAPACITY

3 Green Lights| The battery is above 75% capacity.
2 Green Lights| The battery is between 75% and 35% capacity.
1 Green Light| The battery is below 35% capacity and requires charging soon.
Lights go out| The battery is fully discharged and requires charging immediately.
