When to Charge the iON100V Lithium-
iON Batteries
NOTE: The iON100V-2.5AMP and iON100V-5AMP 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 placing it into the charger.
• Use the battery charge indicator lights to determine when to
charge your iON100V-2.5AMP or iON100V-5AMP lithium-ion
battery pack.
• You can "top-o" your battery pack's charge before starting
a big job or after a long day of use.
Charging the Battery
1. Push the battery releasing button on the pole chain saw
to release the battery pack. Pull the battery out of the
equipment (Fig. 19).
2. Check that the mains voltage is the same as that
marked on the rating plate of the battery charger. Then,
insert the charger's plug into the electrical wall outlet.
When you plug in the charger, the red light will illuminate
steadily (Fig. 20).
mCAUTION! Charger iON100V-RCH is rated for 100 – 120
volt AC only. DO NOT plug the charger into any outlet that will
provide power with a higher voltage. Over voltage charging will
be harmful to both the battery and charger, and may cause the
charger to burn out.
3. Place the battery pack into the charger by sliding the pack
as shown until it clicks into the position. When the battery
is inserted in properly, the green light will slowly ash to
indicate that the battery is charging. The red light will turn
o. You will also hear a fan sound (Fig. 21).
NOTE: If the green light is o while the red light ashes slowly,
this indicates a temperature abnormality (i.e. that the battery
pack is too hot). If the green light is o while the red light
ashes rapidly, this indicates there's something wrong with the
charger or the battery. Wait for a while and try to reinsert the
battery into the charger. If the situation still persists, contact

5. A fully discharged iON100V-2.5AMP battery pack with an
internal temperature in the normal range will fully charge
in 50 minutes (between 32ºF/0ºC and 113ºF/45ºC). A fully
discharged iON100V-5AMP battery pack with an internal
temperature in the normal range will fully charge in 100
minutes (between 32ºF/0ºC and 113ºF/45ºC). Heavily
cycled battery packs may take longer to
charge completely.
