BATTERY AND CHARGER
®
The ReadyHedger
(Model No. RH18) is equipped with an 18-volt high capacity
battery pack and an advanced microprocessor controlled smart charger. Following
are some important things for you to know about the features of your battery
charger:
•
CHARGE BEFORE USE- The battery pack is shipped in a partially
charged state and must be fully charged before use. NOTE: Batteries re-
quire cycle conditioning (charging and discharging) to reach their full ca-
pacity. Please allow several cycles of use for the maximum capacity (and
run-time) to be achieved.
•
FULL CHARGE - In normal situations, the battery pack will reach a full
charge in one-hour. Initial use, long periods of inactivity, or storage at ex-
treme temperatures may require extended charge time.
•
BATTERY PACK TEMPERATURE AND CHARGING - The charger is de-
signed to only charge the battery pack if the battery pack's temperature is
considered normal – defined as a temperature range of 50-100 degrees
Fahrenheit.
When using the ReadyHedger
may become hot. The charger will recognize the temperature of the bat-
tery pack and the green LED light will illuminate – effectively the charger is
waiting for the battery pack to reach a normal temperature before charging
it. After continuous use, you should let the battery pack cool down for up
to 30 minutes before attempting to charge. Conversely, if the battery pack
has been left in the cold you will need to allow it to reach a normal tem-
perature before attempting to charge. NOTE: Only use the battery charger
in a location that will allow for a normal temperature.
•
LED FUNCTIONS will indicate the status of the charging of the battery. A
RED LED means the battery is charging; a GREEN LED means the bat-
tery is fully charged. NOTE: a GREEN LED may also indicate that the bat-
tery pack's temperature is not normal. If you suspect this is the case,
please allow the battery pack to reach a normal temperature.
Charging the Battery:
1. Plug the charger into a 120 Volt AC outlet.
