Battery Charge and Health Display
Indication | Flash pattern | Battery status | Battery state of charge | Remark |
---|---|---|---|---|
Steady light | Full charge | > 75 % | ||
Steady light | Medium charge | 55 - 74 % | ||
Steady light | Low charge | 21 - 54 % | Charge battery when possible | |
Flashing | Empty | < 21 % | Charge battery | |
Steady light for 1.5 second | Self-test when powering on | Battery operational after 1.5 second | ||
Steady light | Battery cell temperature out of range: | Let battery cool before continuing operation | ||
Battery cell temperature out of range: | Make sure ambient temperature is within range. See Battery Temperatures. | |||
Too high discharge current to tool | Check the tool configuration. | |||
Too high charge current | Remove battery from charger and replace charger | |||
Invalid charger | Use appropriate charger. See Battery Charger Data. | |||
Too high voltage applied externally to battery connector | ||||
Steady light | Unrecoverable error | Replace battery |
When attaching the battery to the charger, the charging procedure will start and go on for 20 seconds. The charging is then temporarily stopped as the battery performs a self-test. The self-test continues for 10 seconds and after this the battery resumes charging again.
State of Health (SOH) Indicators:
SOH indicates how much of the original design capacity that is left in the battery cells, that is, how much the battery has degraded since it was new.
SOH is not an indication of current battery charge.
When the button is pressed for 10 seconds the battery SOH is shown, as listed below:
Indication | Flash pattern | State of Health (SOH) |
---|---|---|
1 flash, green | More than 80% of the original capacity | |
1 flash, yellow | Between 70-80% of the original capacity | |
1 flash, red | Less than 70% of original capacity |
State of Health Signals
When the button is pressed for 20 seconds the battery state is shown by the LEDs flashing in sequence, as listed below.
If the button is pressed for more than one minute, the battery goes into boot mode. All three white indicators will flash one by one, in sequence.
