CHARGING
THE BATTERY
The charger included with your EVOLVE MAX
may differ from what is shown in this user
manual. Please reference the Accessories
section of this manual or contact us at
Hoover.com for more information of your
specific charger.
Ensure that the battery is fully charged
prior to use. This may take 3-4 hours to
fully charge. The battery will not ship fully
charged due to federal regulations.
1
Plug the charger into a power outlet.
2
Attach the battery pack to the charger by
aligning the ribs on the battery pack to the
grooves in the charger. Slide the battery pack
into the charger.
3
When charging, the lights on the battery will
illuminate to show the state of charge. If the
light on the charger flashes red, there is an error
with the battery or the charger. Try again or call
customer service for support. Once charge is
complete, lights on the battery will turn off.

To remove the battery pack from the charger,
press the latches and pull the battery away from
the charger.
TIP: During charging, the pack and ambient
temperature should be between 41°F to 86°F
(5°C and 30°C). The charger will sense if the
pack, or ambient temperature, is too cold or
too hot, and will return an error code (red
LED will be on) and not charge the pack. Use
battery only with charger listed. For use with
