both of the batteries together. Use one battery cannot
provide sufficient power to the tool. Make sure to use two
batteries of the same voltage and the same capacity. Using
the tool with batteries of different capacity will cause damage
to the batteries.
m
WARNING!
Before first use, the batteries require at
least 55 mins charge time for each to be fully charged. When
the batteries are at low capacity, recharge for 55 mins again
for each before resuming operation.

battery packs with their compatible 24V iON+ lithium-ion
charger. Other types of batteries may cause personal injury
and damage.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not allow water to flow
into the charger's AC/DC plug.
When to Charge the iON+ 24VBAT-LTE
Lithium-Ion Batteries
NOTE: The iON+ 24VBAT-LTE 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 connecting it with the charger.
• Use the battery charge indicator lights to determine when to
charge your iON+ 24VBAT-LTE lithium-ion battery packs.
• You can "top-off" your battery packs' charge before starting
a big job or after a long day of use.
