OPERATION

WARNING!

Charge only MILWAUKEE 12 and

14.4Volt Nickel-Cadmium Power Plus battery packs in this charger. Other types of batteries may ex- plode causing personal injury and damage.

Connect Charger

Charger Ready

WARNING!

This charger is designed to op- erator on standard household electrical power only. Do not use with generators, inverters, or other power sources.

When to Charge the Power Plus Battery Pack

Charge your battery pack before you use your tool for the first time and when your tool no longer performs with the power and torque needed for the job. Never completely discharge the battery pack. New battery packs reach full loading capacity after 4-5 chargings and dischargings. Battery packs that have not been used for some time should be recharged before use.

Standard Charging Times

Standard charging time is between 10 minutes and 90 minutes. Charging time varies depending on the charge needed and the type of battery pack being charged. For example, if the battery pack does not require a full charge, the charging time will be less than 90 minutes.

Effects of Temperature on Charging

Battery packs are affected by temperature. The charger will sense battery temperature and will charge the battery when its temperature is between 32°F (0°C) and 113°F (45°C). When the battery temperature is outside that range, charging will occur at a slower rate to prevent damage to the battery.
