When to Charge the 24V iON+
Lithium-iON Batteries
NOTE: The 24V iON+ 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 inserting the charger plug.
• Use the battery charge indicator lights to determine when to
charge your 24V iON+ 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 Batteries

battery packs out from the battery compartments (Fig. 1).
