a rapid succession of several short
beeps is emitted: the battery has a

Power Tool Status
When the battery is connected to the power tool,
the same LEDs on the battery will indicate the
status of the power tool.
If three LEDs glow red continuously: the power
tool motor is too hot. Allow the motor to cool
down.
If three LEDs flash red when you activate the
trigger switch: the power tool has an electrical
malfunction. Do not operate the power tool. Have
it checked by an authorized STIHL servicing
dealer before use or storage.

Charge Status
The LEDs and acoustic signals on the battery
also indicate the battery's state of charge.
To determine the battery's state of charge:
► Press the button (1) on the backpack battery.
A single short beep will be emitted. The LEDs on
the battery will glow or flash green for about
5 seconds and indicate the state of charge (see
illustration).
For example:
If six green LEDs glow continuously: full charge.
If one green LED is flashing and four long beeps
are emitted: less than 20 % charge.
