When to Charge the iON+ 24VBAT
Lithium-iON Batteries
NOTE: The iON+ 24VBAT 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 packs before charging them again.
• Use the battery indicator lights to determine when to charge
your iON+ 24VBAT lithium-iON battery packs.
• You can "top-off" your battery packs' charge before starting
a big job or after a long day of use.
Charging the Battery
