Charging Instructions

Charging a Husqvarna BLi-X 36V Battery

Caution: Ensure the battery, USB charger, and battery terminals are clean and dry. Do not connect the battery to the USB charger if it is dirty or wet.

1. Connect the USB charger to a USB power adapter using a USB cable. Ensure the USB cable is connected to the bidirectional USB-C-PD port on the charger.
2. Plug the power adapter into a power socket. The charger's indicator light will blink red (1x), green (1x), and yellow (1x).

Caution: Connect the power adapter only to a power socket with the voltage and frequency specified on the rating plate.

3. Connect a battery to the USB charger. If the battery is connected correctly, the charger's indicator light will turn green.

Note: The standard mode is for charging a Husqvarna BLi-X 36V battery. The discharge mode button does not need to be pressed to initiate charging.

To check the battery's charge level, press the battery indicator button on the battery. If all charge indicators on the battery are lit, it is fully charged.

Note: The charger's indicator light remains green throughout the charging process.

After charging is complete, disconnect the battery from the USB charger and unplug the power adapter from the socket.

Charging a USB Device

1. Use a USB cable to connect your USB device to a port on the USB charger. The output power is available from both USB ports. Select the optimal power level for your device.
2. Connect a battery to the USB charger. Ensure the battery is fully inserted.
3. Press the discharge mode button on the USB charger. The charger's indicator light will show a green light, and the charging of the USB device will begin.

Note: The standard mode is for charging a Husqvarna BLi-X 36V battery. Therefore, the discharge mode button must be pressed to start charging your USB device.

When charging is complete, press and hold the discharge mode button until the indicator light on the USB charger turns off, or remove the battery from the USB charger. This prevents battery drain.

Information on Returning Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)

Certain retailers are obligated to accept returns of WEEE free of charge.

Retailers with a sales area of at least 400 m² for electrical and electronic equipment, and food retailers with a total sales area of at least 800 m², who regularly offer and sell electrical and electronic equipment, are required to take back old equipment under the following circumstances:

1. When selling new electrical or electronic equipment, the retailer must take back old equipment of the same type, which provides essentially the same function as the new device, free of charge. This must occur at the point of sale or in close proximity. Private households are also considered the point of sale if the product is delivered there, in which case old equipment will be collected free of charge for the end-user.
2. Retailers must take back old equipment with an outer dimension of less than 25 cm upon request at the point of sale or in close proximity. This return does not need to be linked to the purchase of new electrical or electronic equipment and is limited to three old devices per device type.

When concluding a purchase contract for new electrical or electronic equipment, the retailer must inform the end-user of their right to return or have old equipment collected free of charge and ask if they intend to return old equipment upon delivery of the new device.

This also applies to distance selling if the storage and shipping area for electrical and electronic equipment is at least 400 m², or if the total storage and shipping area is at least 800 m². The free collection of electrical or electronic equipment is limited to the following categories:

• 1 (Heat exchangers)
• 2 (Devices with displays)
• 4 (Large devices with at least one outer dimension exceeding 50 cm)

For all other electrical and electronic equipment, retailers must ensure that take-back points are reasonably accessible to the end-user. This also applies to old devices where no outer dimension exceeds 25 cm, which the end-user wishes to return without purchasing new equipment.

Data Protection: All end-users of waste electrical and electronic equipment are responsible for deleting any personal data from the equipment before disposal.
