CHARGER OPERATION

WARNING
Charge only MILWAUKEE’ M12TM Lithium-Ion battery packs in the MILWAUKEE® Li- lon Battery Charger. Other types of batteries may cause personal injury and damage. Battery pack and charger are not compatible with Vim-technology or NiCd systems.

When to Charge MILWAUKEE® Li-Ion Battery Packs

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 screen battery indicator 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 a long day of use.

How to Charge the Battery Pack

Plug the Radio + Charger into the supplied adaptor and connect to a 230-240V socket outlet. The battery packs will not charge if the Radio + Charger is not connected to 230-240V via the supplied adaptor. Place the battery pack into the bay by sliding the puck into the bay. The red light will turn on, either flashing (the pack is too hot or cold) or continuous (a pack is charging).

  • A fully discharged battery pack with an internal temperature 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.
  • After charging is complete, the continuous green light will turn on.
  • 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 in the bay. Remove the pack and reinsert. 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 and that the Radio + Charger is correctly connected to the supplied adaptor. Remove the pack and reinsert. If 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 Radio + Charger indicates that the battery pack temperature is outside the charging range. Once the battery packs within the acceptable range, normal charging will take place and the red light will be continuous. Hot or cold batteries may take longer to charge.
