Power Joe comes equipped with PowerSTART as part of its exclusive PROPOWER3X technology and uses a 24-Volt iON+ rechargeable lithium-ion battery to power the generator’s One-Touch Start feature. This same battery also powers over 100 tools in the Sun Joe + Snow Joe iON+ cordless tool system, so when your battery is not in use powering Power Joe, you can use it interchangeably across multiple tools in the iON+ platform. With PowerSTART, there's no more back-breaking rip cords to pull - you can now start your Power Joe with just the push of one button. As a backup start-up option in the event your battery is recharging, you can still start Power Joe via its included recoil start feature.
