CHARACTERISTICS
After inserting the battery into the reception of the charger the
battery will automatically be charged (red control lamp is
illuminated continuously)
When a hot or cold battery pack is inserted into the charger
(fl ashing red lamp), charging will begin automatically once the
battery reaches the correct charging temperature (0°C...65°C). The
max. charging current is fl owing when the temperature of the
Li-Ion-battery is between 0°C and 65°C.
The battery's charging time is between 1 min and 30 min (at
1,5 Ah), depending on the state of discharge.
Once the battery is fully charged, the LED on the charger changes
from red to green.
It is not necessary to remove the battery after charging. The
battery can be stored permanently in the charger without the
danger of being overcharged.
Under certain circumstances the charger may cause the LED
indicators to fl ash alternately red and green.
If this occurs, Remove the battery and reinsert.

charger for at least 2 minutes. After 2 minutes, plug charger back
in and insert pack"

use immediately for safety reason and have them inspected by a
Milwaukee customer service center.
Both 12V and 14.4/18V battery packs can be inserted into 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.
