Decoding the Disco Lights: What Does the Flashing Mean?
It's a Party Foul! The most common culprit is a loose connection. Make sure your battery is snuggled securely in the charger. If it's still throwing a rave, unplug the charger for a minute and give it a chance to reboot.
Battery Blues If a good reseating doesn't solve the issue, you might have a faulty battery. This doesn't necessarily mean it's a goner. Extremely discharged batteries can sometimes confuse the charger. Try using a different, known-good battery to see if the charger itself is working.
Charger on the Fritz? In rare cases, the charger might be the culprit behind the light show. If you have another Milwaukee charger kicking around, try swapping it out. Still got a disco going? It might be time for a charger service call.
Remember: A solid red light usually means the battery is charging normally. So, if you see red and green flashing after a decent amount of charging time, that's a red flag (pun intended) for a battery issue.
Tip: Don’t rush — enjoy the read.
