State of charge indicator

This appliance includes a state of charge indicator which consists of three white LED lights that indicate the level of charge remaining in the battery. This feature is only activated when the vacuum is powered on. The state of charge indicator is an indication of the approximate levels of charge remaining in the battery pack according to the following indicators:

The LED battery indicator displays the remaining charge and warns you when the battery is low. The final LED will flash continuously when there is only 1 minute of runtime remaining. All LEDs will flash when the unit is discharged. NOTE: The state of charge indicator is only an indication of the charge left on the battery. It does not indicate tool functionality and is subject to variation based on product components, temperature, and end-user application.
