2.3 RAD Li-Ion Battery Pack
CAUTION!
Only use the RAD Li-Ion Battery Pack with the B-RAD Tool System. Using other
batteries may damage the B-RAD Tool System.
CAUTION!
Keep the RAD Li-Ion Battery Pack away from any metal objects. If the battery
terminals are connected by a metal object, the battery will short and cause
damage to the battery and injury to the operator.
The RAD Li-Ion Battery Pack supplies power to the tool; for the B-RAD to preform best,
ensure the RAD Battery is fully charged and in good condition before use. In optimal
conditions, the RAD Battery should be capable of approximately 100 Torque Cycles at 50%
of the Maximum Torque on a joint with a hardness of approximately 10 degrees.
Note: The application torque, joint hardness, battery condition, age and operating temperature will
affect the actual number of Torque Cycles per charge.
2.3.1 Insert/Remove the RAD Li-Ion Battery Pack
To insert the RAD Battery:
1. Ensure the On/Off Trigger is in the Off Position (not depressed).
2. Align the RAD Battery with the bottom of the Tool Handle.
3. Slide the RAD Battery into place until it is fully seated.
Note: A click will confirm that the RAD Battery is locked in place.
4. Test that the RAD Battery is locked in place by trying to slide it out of place.
To remove the RAD Battery:
1. Press and hold the Battery Release Button.
2. Slide the RAD Battery away from the Tool Handle.
2.3.2 Check RAD Battery Charge
To check the RAD Battery Charge:
1. Press the “Charge” button on the RAD Battery (Figure 2.3.2-1).
Result: The Red Bars will light up. If all the Red Bars are illuminated, the Battery is fully
charged. If none of the Red Bars are illuminated, the RAD Battery is completely discharged
and needs charging (refer to Section 2.4.1 – Charging the RAD Li-Ion Battery Pack).

The Charging Status Display (Figure 2.4-1) on the RAD Battery Charger is used to notify the
operator when the RAD Battery is charging, when the charge is complete and if there is an
error.
