MILWAUKEE LI-ION
BATTERY PACKS
Use the Fuel Gauge to determine
the battery pack's remaining run
time. Press the Fuel Gauge but-
ton to display the lights. The
Fuel Gauge will light up for 2-3
seconds. When less than 10%
of charge is left, 1 light on the
fuel gauge will flash slowly.
NOTE: If the Fuel Gauge doesn't appear to be working,
place the battery pack on the charger and charge as needed.
Compared to NiCd battery pack types, MILWAUKEE Li-Ion
battery packs deliver fade-free power for their entire run
time. The tool will not experience a slow, gradual loss of
power as you work. To signal the end of discharge, 1 light
on the fuel gauge will flash quickly for 2-3 seconds and the
tool will not run. Charge the battery pack.
NOTE: Immediately after using the battery pack, the Fuel
Gauge may display a lower charge than it will if checked
a few minutes later. The battery cells "recover" some of
2
their charge after resting.
Battery Pack Protection
To protect itself from damage and extend its life, the bat-
tery pack's intelligent circuit monitors current draw and
temperature. In extremely high torque, binding, stalling,
and short circuit situations, the battery pack will turn OFF
the tool if the current draw becomes too high. All the fuel
gauge lights will flash. Release the trigger and restart.
Under extreme circumstances, the internal temperature of
the battery could become too high. If this happens, the fuel
gauge lights will flash in an alternating pattern and the tool
will not run. Allow the battery to cool down.

Cold Weather Operation
MILWAUKEE Li-Ion battery packs are designed to operate
in temperatures below freezing. When the battery pack is
too cold, it may need to warm up before normal use. Put
the battery on a tool and use the tool in a light application.
It may "buzz" for a short time until it warms up. When the
buzzing stops, use the tool normally.
