State of Charge/Battery Discharge Indicator (BDI)

This indicator contains 8 green bars, a yellow bar and a red bar. It shows available battery capacity by illuminating one or more bars.

The indicator illuminates when the key is turned on. It also illumi- nates 8-10 seconds after the charging cord is connected, turning off when the batteries are 100% charged. To verify a full charge or to check the state of charge, turn the key on.

As charge is depleted, bars begin to turn off from right to left. Remaining bars indicate remaining battery charge. See page 49.

Red Green Yellow

Tip: If only red and yellow bars are illuminated, charge is very low. Recharge as soon as possible. A full recharge cycle (from one red bar to fully charged) may take 8 hours or more for a standard battery pack, and up to 14 hours for a heavy duty battery pack.
