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.
