pack is completely sealed and maintenance free.
Battery Charge Level Indicator
The battery pack is equipped with a push button for checking
the charge level. Simply press the push button to read off the
battery charge level from the LEDs of the battery indicator:
• All 3 level monitoring LEDs are lit: Battery charge level
is maximum.
• 3 level monitoring LEDs are lit: Battery charge level
is high.
• 2 level monitoring LEDs are lit: Battery charge level is
decreasing. Stop work as soon as possible.
• 1 level monitoring LED is lit: Battery is flat. Stop work
IMMEDIATELY and charge the battery. Otherwise the
battery's service life will be greatly shortened.

WARNING!
Charge only 24V iON+ lithium-ion battery
packs with its 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 Battery
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 inserting the charger plug.
• Use the battery indicator lights to determine when to charge
your iON+ 24VBAT-LTE lithium-ion battery pack.
• You can "top-off" your battery pack's charge before starting
a big job or after a long day of use.
