Information about the charger and the
charging process
1. Please check the data marked on the rating plate of the
battery charger. Be sure to connect the battery charger
to a power supply with the voltage marked on the rating
plate. Never connect it to a different mains voltage.
2. Protect the battery charger and its cord from damage.
Keep the charger and its cord away from heat, oil and
sharp edges. Have damaged cords repaired without delay
by a qualified technician at an authorized Snow Joe
Sun Joe
dealer or call the Snow Joe
®
customer service center at 1-866-SNOWJOE
(1-866-766-9563).
3. Electrical plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with
grounded appliances. Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
4. Keep the battery charger, battery pack and the cordless
tool out of the reach of children.
5. Do not use the supplied battery charger to charge other
cordless tools.
6. During periods of heavy use, the battery pack will become
warm. Allow the battery pack to cool to room temperature
before connecting it to the charger to recharge.
7. Do not overcharge the battery. Do not exceed the
maximum charging times. These charging times only apply
to discharged battery. Frequent insertion of a charged or
partially charged battery pack will result in overcharging
and cell damage. Do not leave the battery in the charger
for days on end.
8. Never use or charge the battery if you suspect that it
has been more than 12 months since the last time it was
charged. There is a high probability that the battery
pack has already suffered dangerous damage
(exhaustive discharge).
9. Charging the battery at a temperature below 41°F (5°C)
will cause chemical damage to the cells and may cause a
fire.
10. Do not use battery that have been exposed to heat during
the charging process, as the battery cells may have
suffered dangerous damage.
11. Do not use batteries that have suffered curvature or
deformation during the charging process or those that
exhibit other atypical symptoms (gassing, hissing,
cracking, etc.).
12. Never fully discharge the battery pack (maximum
recommended depth of discharge is 80%). A complete
discharge of the battery pack will lead to premature aging
of the battery cells.

locations with an ambient temperature of 41ºF – 105°F
(5°C – 40.5°C). Store your lithium-ion battery pack in a
cool, dry place at a temperature of 77°F (25°C). Protect
the battery pack, charger and cordless tool from humidity
and direct sunlight. Only place fully charged battery in
storage (charged to at least 40%).

Electrostatic discharges can damage the electronic
protection system and the battery cells. Avoid electrostatic
charging and never touch the battery poles.
