LI-ION BATTERIES

The rechargeable batteries are partially charged. The LED on the battery 

indicates the state of charge. 
If it is not used for long periods, the rechargeable battery will switch to the 

non-operative state. 
When fully discharged the rechargeable battery switches o

  automatically 

(depth discharge not possible).
Under extreme circumstances, the internal temperature of the battery could 

become to high. If this happens, the battery will shut down.
Place the battery on the charger to charge and reset it.
The state of charge can be read by pressing the button on the rechargeable 

battery. The battery can be left in the electric tool while the reading is taken 

but it must be switched o

  at least one minute beforehand (otherwise the 

display will be inaccurate). The number of LEDs illuminated indicates the 

state of charge. A 

fl

 ashing LED indicates a max. power reserve of 10%. 

As a general principle, if the electric tool should fail to work after inserting 

the rechargeable battery, then the battery should be plugged into the 

charger. The displays on the battery and charger will then provide 

information about the condition of the battery. 
In low temperatures work may continue at reduced output.

CHARACTERISTICS

After inserting the battery into the reception of the charger the battery will 

automatically be charged (red control lamp is illuminated continuously)
When a hot or cold battery pack is inserted into the charger (

fl

 ashing red 

lamp), charging will begin automatically once the battery reaches the 

correct charging temperature (0°C...65°C). The max. charging current is 

fl

 owing when the temperature of the Li-Ion-battery is between 0°C and 65°C.

The battery’s charging time is between 1 min and 20 min (at 1,5 Ah), 

depending on the state of discharge.
Once the battery is fully charged, the LED on the charger changes from red 

to green.
Remove the battery pack from the tool for charging when convenient for 

you and your job. Milwaukee batteries do not develop a memory when 

charged after only a partial discharge. It is not necessary to run down the 

battery pack before placing it on the charger.
As a general practice, it is best to unplug battery chargers and remove 

batteries when not in use.  No battery pack damage will occur, however, if 

the charger and battery pack are left plugged in.
If both LEDs 

fl

 ash alternately then the rechargeable battery is either not 

fully pushed in or there is a fault with the battery or charger. Take the 

charger and battery out of use immediately for safety reasons and have 

them inspected by a Milwaukee customer service centre.
Both 12V and 14.4/18V battery packs can be inserted into the charger at 

the same time, but they will be charged one after the other. The 

fi

 rst battery 

pack to be inserted will be the 

fi

 rst one to be charged. The red LED for the 

second battery pack will 

fl

 ash slowly to indicate that the charging process 

has not begun yet.
