LITHIUM-ION BATTERY
Maintenance and Storage
Do not expose your battery or cordless tools to
water or rain, or allow them to get wet. This could
damage the tool and battery. Do not use oil or
solvents to clean or lubricate your battery. The
plastic casing will become brittle and crack, caus-
ing a risk of injury.
Store batteries at room temperature away from
moisture. Do not store in damp locations where
corrosion of terminals may occur. As with other
battery types, permanent capacity loss can result if
the battery is stored for long periods of time at high
temperatures (over 120° F). MILWAUKEE Lithium-
Ion batteries maintain their charge during storage
longer than other battery types. After about six
months of storage, charge the battery as normal.
Disposing of MILWAUKEE Lithium-Ion Batteries
MILWAUKEE Lithium-Ion batteries are more en-
vironmentally friendly than some other types of
power tool batteries (e.g., nickel-cadmium). Always
dispose of your battery according to federal, state
and local regulations. Contact a recycling agency
in your area for recycling locations.
Even discharged batteries contain some energy.
Before disposing, use electrical tape to cover the
terminals to prevent the battery from shorting, which
could cause a fi re or explosion.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of in-
jury or explosion, never burn or incinerate
a battery pack even if it is damaged, dead or
completely discharged. When burned, toxic
fumes and materials are created.
RBRC Battery Recycling Seals
The RBRC™ Battery Recycling Seals (see
"Symbology") on your tool battery indicates that
MILWAUKEE has arranged for the recycling of that
battery with the Rechargeable Battery Recycling
Corporation (RBRC). At the end of your battery's
useful life, return the battery to a MILWAUKEE
Branch Offi ce/Service Center or the participating
retailer nearest you. For more information, visit the
RBRC web site at www.rbrc.org.

MILWAUKEE 12 V
LITHIUM-ION CHARGER
WARNING
Charge only MILWAUKEE
12V Li-Ion batteries in the MILWAUKEE 12V
Li-Ion charger. Other types of batteries may
cause personal injury and damage.
When to Charge the Battery Pack
Remove the battery from the tool for charging when
convenient for you and your job. MILWAUKEE bat-
teries do not develop a "memory" when charged after
only a partial discharge. It is not necessary to run
down the battery before placing it on the charger.
• Use the Fuel Gauge (on the tool) to determine
when to charge your MILWAUKEE Li-Ion battery.
• You can "Top-Off" your battery's charge before
starting a big job or long day of use.
• The only time it is necessary to charge the
MILWAUKEE Lithium-Ion battery is when the
battery 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
fi nish making a cut, drilling a hole, or driving a
fastener. Charge the battery as needed.
How to Charge the Battery
Align the battery with the bay and slide the battery
into the charger as far as possible. The red light
will come on, either fl ashing (battery is too hot or
cold) or continuous (pack is charging).
• A fully discharged battery with an internal tempera-
ture in the normal range will charge in about 30
minutes (between 32°F and 140°F). Heavily cycled
batteries may take longer to charge completely.
• After charging is complete, the continuous green
light will come on.
• The charger will keep the battery fully charged if
it is left on the charger.
• If the light indicator fl ashes red and green, check
that the battery is fully seated into the bay. Re-
move the battery and reinsert. If the light contin-
ues to fl ash red and green, the battery may be
extremely hot or cold, or wet. Allow the battery to
cool down, warm up, or dry out and then reinsert.
If the problem persists, contact a MILWAUKEE
service facility.

• If the light indicator does not come on, check that
the battery is fully seated into the bay. Remove
the battery and reinsert. If the light indicator still
does not come on, contact a MILWAUKEE service

facility.

Charging a Hot or Cold Battery
The Red Flashing Indicator light on the charger
indicates that the battery temperature is outside
the charging range. Once the battery is 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.

Powering the Charger with an Inverter or

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 damage will occur, however, if the charger
and battery are left plugged in.
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 fl ow 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 and charger, keeping away from all electri-
cal 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
ammonia. Never use fl ammable or combustible
solvents around batteries, charger, or tools.
Repairs
The charger has no serviceable parts.
