USE THIS BATTERY CHARGER ONLY WITH
EARTHWISE™40V LITHIUM-ION BATTERY PACKS.
CHARGING BATTERY PACK
Battery packs are shipped in a low charge
condition to prevent possible problems. Therefore,
you should charge them prior to use.
NOTE: Batteries will not reach full charge the first time
they are charged. Allow several cycles (operating tool
followed by recharging batteries) for them to fully
charge.
TO CHARGE
Use this battery charger only with Earthwise™ 40V
lithium-ion battery packs.
Make sure power supply is normal house voltage,
120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only.
Connect charger to power supply. The top light will
be GREEN noting that the power is on. (See figure
1)
Slide battery pack into charger.
Press down on battery pack to be sure contacts on
battery pack engage properly with charger contacts.
The bottom light will be illuminated. ( See figure 2)
A constant RED light indicates the battery is
charging.
A constant GREEN light indicates the battery is fully
charged.
OPERATION
Allow at least 75 minutes of charge time for 2Ah
battery or 120 minutes of charge time for 4Ah
battery before initial use.
The battery pack will become slightly warm to the
touch while charging. This is normal and does not
indicate a problem.
DO NOT place charger in an area of extreme
heat or cold. It will work best at normal room
temperature.
The battery charger will cut off automatically if
battery is left on the charger for five hours. Both
power and charge lights will be constant green.
When the battery is fully charged, unplug your
charger from power supply and remove the battery
pack.
NOTE: If the top light remains green while the bottom
light alternately flashes red and green, this indicates
a temperature abnormality (i.e. that the battery pack
is either too hot or too cold). If there is only a red
blinking light, this indicates that something is wrong
with the battery. Contact Earthwise customer service
center at 1-800-313-5111 for assistance.

If the charging light indicator alternately blinks red
and green or the light indicator does not come on at
all, check that the battery pack is fully seated into the
bay. Remove the pack and reinsert. If the problem
persists, contact the Earthwise customer service
center at 1-800-313-5111 for assistance.
