10 . Nameplate (on bottom of charger)

11.Light indicator - when a battery pack is inserted into

the charger, the light will indicate the following situations:

Continuous red light:	Charging
Continuous green light:	Charging is complete
Flashing red light:	Battery pack is too hot or too cold - Charging will begin
	automatically when battery reaches correct charging
	temperature

Flashing red and green light: Damaged or faulty battery pack

Fuel Gauge

Use the Fuel Gauge to determine the battery pack's remaining run time. Press the Fuel Gauge button to display the lights. The Fuel Gauge will stay lit for two seconds.

Approximate Run

Time Remaining	78-100%
	55-77%
33-54%
10-32%

Less than 10% if bottom light is flashing

NOTE: If the Fuel Gauge doesn't appear to be working, place the battery pack on the charger and charge as needed.

Unlike other battery pack types, MILWAUKEE Lithium-Ion battery packs deliver fade-free power for their entire run time. The tool will not experience a slow, gradual loss of power as you work. To signal to you that the battery pack is at the end of its run time and needs to be charged, power to the tool will drop quickly. When this happens, remove the tool from the workpiece and charge the battery pack as needed. If the tool begins to "pulse", but not run, charge the battery pack immediately.

NOTE: Immediately after using the battery pack, the Fuel Gauge may display a lower charge than it will if checked a few minutes later. The battery cells "recover" some of their charge after resting.
