Charging The Battery Pack - EarthWise SN74016 El Manual Del Propietario

BATTERY METER
Since the snow thrower battery is shipped in a low
charge condition, the battery must be charged
before use. The battery has 3 LED lights to indicate
battery capacity. These lights will only illuminate when
the light indicator button is pushed.
If three GREEN lights illuminate, the battery is charged
and ready for use. Two green lights are equal to
25%-80% charge, while one green light is equal to
5%-25% charge.
It is recommended to charge battery pack when one light
is illuminated.
