1.3 Charging
Your PRO Series tool comes with a factory-installed rechargeable battery. Battery replacement must be done at the Bartec USA
Repair facility (see Section 10.2 for battery service). When the charging cradle or mini USB cable is in use, the tool automatically
powers up. The tool will not shut off while connected to a power supply.

To make sure the user of the tool has plenty of notice before charging is required, there is now a
“two-step” warning process.
NOTE: First warning will allow you to complete the current vehicle being serviced. Always
charge your tool when recommended!
The PRO Series tool is shipped with a fully charged battery. However, it is
recommended that you charge your tool for at least four (4) hours before using.
Do not attach metallic items of any kind to the charging area.
Charging Methods:
The Qi Inductive Charging Pad is the preferred method of charging.
You can also use the supplied mini USB cable attached to either
the Standard Wall Plug Power Supply or a PC. Only use the power
supply or mini USB cable that is included in the PRO Series kit to
charge this tool.
Use of unapproved power supplies may damage your
tool and will void the warranty.

accessories.
