• Do not short circuit – When battery pack is not in use,
keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects
that can make a connection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or
a fire.
• Store your battery pack and charger in a cool, dry
place – Do not store the battery pack or charger where
temperatures may exceed 105ºF (40.5ºC), such as in direct
sunlight or inside a vehicle or metal building during the
summer.
Information about the battery
1. For optimum battery performance, avoid low discharge
cycles by charging the battery pack(s) frequently.
2. Store the battery pack (s) in a cool place, ideally at 77°F
(25°C) and charged to at least 40%.
3. Lithium-ion batteries are subject to a natural aging
process. The battery pack must be replaced at the latest
when its capacity falls to just 80% of its capacity when
new. Weakened cells in an aged battery pack are no
longer capable of meeting the high power requirements
needed for the proper operation of your power station,
and therefore pose a safety risk.
4. Do not throw the battery pack (s) into an open fire as this
poses a risk of explosion.
5. Do not ignite the battery pack(s) or expose it to fire.
6. Do not exhaustively discharge batteries. Exhaustive
discharge will damage the battery cells. The most
common cause of exhaustive discharge is lengthy storage
or non-use of partially discharged batteries. Stop working
as soon as the performance of the battery falls noticeably
or the electronic protection system triggers. Place the
battery pack in storage only after it has been fully charged.
7. Protect the battery pack(s) and the tool from overloads.
Overloads will quickly result in overheating and cell
damage inside the battery housing even if this overheating
is not apparent externally.
8. Avoid damage and shocks. Immediately replace batteries
that have been dropped from a height of more than
3 feet (1 meter) or those that have been exposed to violent
shocks, even if the housing of the battery pack appears to
be undamaged. The battery cells inside the battery may
have suffered serious damage. In such instances, please
read the waste disposal information for proper battery
disposal.
9. If the battery pack(s) suffer overloading and overheating,
the integrated protective cutoff will switch off the
equipment for safety reasons.
IMPORTANT! Do not press the power supply button any
more if the protective cut-off has been activated. This may
damage the battery pack.
10. Recharge only with the power station or the charger
specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable
for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when
used with another battery pack.
11. Use appliances only with specifically designated battery
packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and fire.
12. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs,
flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
13. Do not use a battery pack(s) or appliance that is damaged
or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of
injury.
14. Do not expose a battery pack(s) or appliance to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure of the battery to fire or
temperature above 265ºF (130°C) may cause explosion.
15. Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the
battery pack(s) outside of the temperature range specified
in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures
outside of the specified range may damage the battery
and increase the risk of fire.
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(s) and the power
station out of the reach of children.
5. During periods of heavy use, the battery pack(s) will
become warm. Allow the battery pack(s) to cool to
room temperature before connecting with the charger to
recharge.
6. Do not overcharge batteries. Do not exceed the maximum
charging times. These charging times only apply to
discharged batteries. Frequent insertion of a charged or
partially charged battery pack will result in overcharging
and cell damage. Do not leave batteries in the charger for
days on end.
7. Never use or charge the battery if you suspect that it has
been more than 12 months since the last time they were
charged. There is a high probability that the battery pack
has already suffered dangerous damage (exhaustive
discharge).
