Information about the battery

For optimum battery performance, avoid low discharge cycles by charging the battery pack frequently.
Store the battery pack in a cool place, ideally at 77°F (25°C) and charged to at least 40%.
Lithium-ion batteries are subject to a natural aging process. The battery pack must be replaced at the latest when their capacity falls to just 80% of its capacity when new. Weakened cells in an aged battery pack are no longer capable of meeting the high power requirements needed for the proper operation of your cordless transfer pump, and therefore pose a safety risk.
Do not throw the battery pack into an open fire as this poses a risk of explosion.
Do not ignite the battery pack or expose it to fire.
Do not exhaustively discharge the battery. Exhaustive discharge will damage the battery cells. The most common cause of exhaustive discharge is lengthy storage or non-use of partially discharged battery. Stop working as soon as the performance of the battery fall noticeably or the electronic protection system triggers. Place the battery pack in storage only after it has been fully charged.
Protect the battery and the tool from overloads. Overloads will quickly result in overheating and cell damage inside the battery housing even if this overheating is not apparent externally.
Avoid damage and shocks. Immediately replace the battery that has been dropped from a height of more than one meter or has been exposed to violent shocks, even if the housing of the battery pack appears to be undamaged. The battery cells inside the battery may have suffered serious damage. In such instances, please read the waste disposal information for proper battery disposal.
If the battery pack suffers overloading and overheating, the integrated protective cutoff will switch off the equipment for safety reasons.
IMPORTANT! Do not press the ON/OFF switch any more if the protective cut- off has been activated. This may damage the battery pack.
Use only original battery pack. The use of other batteries poses a fire risk and may result in injuries or an explosion.

Information about the charger and the charging process

Please check the data marked on the rating plate of the battery charger. Be sure to connect the battery charger to a power supply with the voltage marked on the rating plate. Never connect it to a different mains voltage.
Protect the battery charger and its cord from damage. Keep the charger and its cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Have damaged cords repaired without delay by a qualified technician at 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).
Electrical plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with grounded appliances. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
Keep the battery charger, battery pack and the cordless tool out of the reach of children.
During periods of heavy use, the battery pack will become warm. Allow the battery pack to cool to room temperature before recharging.
Do not overcharge the battery. Do not exceed the maximum charging times. These charging times only apply to discharged batteries. Frequent connection of a charged or partially charged battery pack will result in overcharging and cell damage. Do not leave the battery connected with the charger for days on end.
Never use or charge battery if you suspect that it has been more than 12 months since the last time they were charged. There is a high probability that the battery pack has already suffered dangerous damage (exhaustive discharge).
Charging the battery at a temperature below 41°F (5°C) will cause chemical damage to the cells and may cause a fire.
Do not use batteries that have been exposed to heat during the charging process, as the battery cells may have suffered dangerous damage.
Do not use the battery if it suffered curvature or deformation during the charging process or exhibit other atypical symptoms (gassing, hissing, cracking, etc.).
Never fully discharge the battery pack (maximum recommended depth of discharge is 80%). A complete discharge of the battery pack will lead to premature aging of the battery cells.

Protection from environmental influences

Wear suitable work clothes. Wear safety goggles.
Protect your cordless tool and the battery charger from moisture and rain – Moisture and rain can cause dangerous cell damage.
Do not use the cordless tool or the battery charger near vapors and flammable liquids.
Use the battery charger and cordless tools only in dry conditions and at an ambient temperature of 41ºF 105°F (5°C – 40.5°C).
Do not keep the battery charger in places where the temperature is liable to reach over 105°F (40.5°C). In particular, do not leave the battery charger in a car that is parked in the sunshine.
Protect batteries from overheating. Overloads, overcharging and exposure to direct sunlight will result in overheating and cell damage. Never charge or work with batteries that have been overheated – replace them immediately, if possible.
Store the charger and your cordless tool only in dry locations with an ambient temperature of 41ºF – 105°F (5°C – 40.5°C). Store your lithium-ion battery packs in a cool, dry place at a temperature of 77°F (25°C). Protect the battery pack, charger and cordless tool from humidity and direct sunlight. Only place fully charged batteries in storage (charged to at least 40%).
Prevent the lithium-ion battery pack from freezing. Battery packs that were stored below 32°F (0°C) for more than 60 minutes must be discarded.
When handling the battery, be wary of electrostatic charge. Electrostatic discharges can damage the electronic protection system and the battery cells. Avoid electrostatic charging and never touch the battery poles.

As with other battery pack types, permanent capacity loss can result if the pack is stored for long periods of time at high temperatures (over 120ºF/49ºC).
iON+ 24Vlithium-ion battery packs maintain their charge during storage longer than other battery pack types. As a general practice, it is best to unplug the battery charger and disconnect the battery pack when they are not in use. Recharge the battery pack every 6 months to 50% capacity (2 lights on) during off season storage to maintain optimal battery performance.
