Step 4: Let the Lights Do the Talking
QuickTip: Absorb ideas one at a time.
Don't worry about memorizing a complicated light show. The charger will usually have a friendly green light to indicate everything is A-OK and your battery is getting the juice it needs. Some chargers might even have a little light show to keep you entertained while you wait.
Step 5: Patience, Grasshopper
We know, we know – you've got projects to tackle! But depending on the size of your battery, it might take some time to fully charge. Grab a cup of coffee, browse some DIY inspiration online, or take a well-deserved nap. Your Milwaukee battery will be ready to rumble when the light tells you so!
Tip: Read carefully — skimming skips meaning.
Bonus Tip: Keep it Cool, Literally
Extreme temperatures can affect how quickly your battery charges. If it's been sitting in a scorching hot car all day, let it cool down a bit before hitting the charger.
