| What Does It Mean When Your Milwaukee Battery Flashes |
What's the Big Idea?
Milwaukee batteries are generally pretty tough cookies. They can handle a lot of abuse, but even the best of them can throw a tantrum sometimes. A flashing battery is usually a sign that something's amiss. But before you start blaming the battery, let's consider a few possibilities:
- Temperature Troubles: Your battery is a diva. It likes it hot, but not too hot. And it definitely doesn't like being cold. If it's flashing, it might be too toasty or too chilly. Give it a break in a comfortable room temperature environment before trying again.
- Charger Issues: Your charger might be the culprit. Try charging the battery in a different charger. If the flashing stops, it's time to give that charger a stern talking-to (or maybe a replacement).
- Battery Burnout: Okay, this is the worst-case scenario. If the battery is flashing and you've tried everything else, it might be time to say goodbye to your old friend. But don't despair! New batteries are just a click away.
Decoding the Flashing Codes
Believe it or not, there's a secret language to battery flashing. Different patterns can mean different things. But let's be honest, who has time to memorize Morse code for batteries? Instead, let's keep it simple:
Tip: Read the whole thing before forming an opinion.
- Solid red: The battery is charging. Everything's normal.
- Flashing red: Something's wrong. Check the temperature, charger, or battery itself.
- Green and red flashing together: This is usually a sign of a bigger problem. Consult the manual or contact Milwaukee support.
