Step 1: The Great Unboxing (or, You Probably Didn't Throw Away the Box, Right?)
Unless you're some kind of packaging-phobic daredevil, you likely held onto the box your Milwaukee REDLITHIUM USB came in. Do a quick victory dance! This treasure trove (okay, maybe a slight exaggeration) likely has a picture or two depicting the glorious act of charging your battery. If not, don't fret, we've got you covered.
Step 2: Unveiling the Micro Marvel (and Remembering the Past)
Cast your eyes upon the wonder that is the micro USB port. Yes, it's not the fancy new USB-C you might be used to, but hey, it gets the job done! Remember the good ol' days of flip phones and tamagotchis? Those were simpler times, and this micro USB port is a delightful (and functional) reminder.

Now comes the exciting part: the cable hunt! Grab your trusty micro USB cable. Bonus points if it matches your favorite superhero costume. We all have that drawer full of mystery cables, so take a moment to channel your inner detective and sniff out the right one.
Pro-Tip: The micro USB cable end should be a bit wider and flatter than the end that plugs into your phone.
Tip: Don’t skip — flow matters.
Step 4: The Glorious Connection (It's Alive!)
Here comes the moment of truth! Plug the micro USB cable into your Milwaukee REDLITHIUM USB's port, and the other end into a USB power source. This could be your computer, a phone charger, or even a fancy car charger (perfect for those on-the-go power emergencies).
Look for the magic! An indicator light on your battery should come on, letting you know it's slurping up that sweet, sweet charging juice.
Step 5: Patience, Grasshopper (or, How Long Does This Take?)
Depending on how dead your battery was, charging can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours. Use this time to contemplate the deeper meaning of battery life, or maybe just catch up on some cat videos.
Important Note: For the fastest charge, use a Milwaukee-approved USB charger. Those generic ones from the bargain bin might be a bit sluggish.
QuickTip: Stop and think when you learn something new.
