The Red Light District (of Your Charger)
A flashing red light on your Milwaukee charger is basically its way of saying, "Hey, buddy, something's off!" It's like your car's check engine light but for power tools. Now, before you start blaming the charger for being a diva, let's look at the possible culprits.
QuickTip: A careful read saves time later.
- Temperature Tantrum: Your battery is probably either too hot or too cold for the charger's liking. It’s like Goldilocks and the Three Bears, but with batteries and temperature.
- Battery Blues: There might be an issue with the battery itself. Maybe it’s feeling under the weather or is just plain old.
- Charger Drama: In rare cases, the charger itself could be the problem. But let's hope not, because that would be like blaming the fridge for the food going bad.
