When to Charge the Battery Pack 

with this MILWAUKEE Charger

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. 

• Use the Fuel Gauge to determine when to charge 

your MILWAUKEE Li-Ion battery pack. 

• You can "Top-Off" your battery pack's charge before 

starting a big job or long day of use. 

• The only time it is necessary to charge the 

MILWAUKEE Li-Ion battery pack is when the battery 

pack has reached the end of its charge. To signal 

the end of charge, power to the tool will drop quickly, 

allowing you just enough power to finish making a 

cut, drilling a hole, or driving a fastener. Charge the 

battery pack as needed.

How to Charge the Battery Pack

Align  the  battery  pack  with  the  bay  and  slide  the 

battery pack into the charger as far as possible. The 

red light will come on, either flashing quickly (bat

-

tery pack is too hot or cold), flashing slowly (battery 

pack is waiting for another pack to finish charging) 

or continuous (pack is charging). 

• A fully discharged battery pack with an internal tem

-

perature in the normal range will charge in about 30 

to 185 minutes, depending on the battery pack. 

• Heavily cycled batteries may take longer to charge 

completely. 

• The Fuel Gauge lights on 18V battery packs are 

displayed as the pack is being charged, indicating 

how fully charged the pack is. 

• 

After charging  is complete, the continuous green 

light will turn on and the fuel gauge will turn off. 

• The charger will keep the battery pack fully charged 

if it is left on the charger. 

• If the light indicator flashes red and green, check 

that the battery pack is fully seated into the bay. 

Remove the battery pack and reinsert. If the light 

continues to flash red and green, remove pack(s) 

and unplug charger for at least 2 minutes.  After 2 

minutes, plug charger back in and insert pack. If the 

problem  persists,  contact  a  MILWAUKEE  service 

facility.

• If the light indicator does not come on, check that 

the battery pack is fully seated into the bay.  Remove 

the battery pack and reinsert.  If the light indicator 

still does not come on, remove pack(s) and unplug 

charger  for  at  least  2  minutes. After  2  minutes, 

plug charger back in and insert pack.  If after these 

attempts the light indicator still does not come on, 

contact a MILWAUKEE service facility.

Charging a Hot or Cold Battery Pack

The Red Flashing Indicator light on the charger in

-

dicates that the battery pack temperature is outside 

the charging range. Once the battery pack is within 

the acceptable range, normal charging will take place 

and the red light will be continuous. Hot or cold bat-

teries may take longer to charge.

Powering the Charger with an Inverter

inverters rated at 300 Watts or higher.

Maintenance and Storage

Store your charger in a cool, dry place. 

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.

Repairs

The charger has no serviceable parts.

Mounting to the Wall

Use the wall mount guides to mark the hanging 

points.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of injury, always 

unplug the charger and remove the 

battery from the charger before performing any 

maintenance. Never disassemble the battery or 

charger. Contact a MILWAUKEE service facility 

for ALL repairs.

To reduce the risk of injury and damage, never 

immerse your battery or charger in liquid or allow 

a liquid to flow inside them.

Cleaning

Clean out dust and debris from charger vents and 

electrical contacts by blowing with compressed air. 

Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the 

battery pack and charger, keeping away from all elec

-

trical contacts. Certain cleaning agents and solvents 

are harmful to plastics and other insulated parts. 

Some of these include gasoline, turpentine, lacquer 

thinner, paint thinner, chlorinated cleaning solvents, 

ammonia and household detergents containing am-

monia. Never use flammable or combustible solvents 

around batteries, charger, or tools.
