    There's a host of videos on YouTube about rejuvenating these batteries. You can jump start of sometimes rapidly plug in and in plug charger to get them to begin accepting a charge.

I have a Milwaukee drill and 2 batteries, when the battery goes flat, the drill just dies no warning. The battery shows 1 or no red lights. I would think your battery has gone flat or no longer holding a charge. It may show 18 to 19v initially but as soon as you go to use it, it dies. I was told when I bought the drill to keep using each battery until they go completely flat. That's why I got a spare. Fully charging from flat apparently, makes the battery life a lot longer rather than constantly doing partial charges.

SOURCE: Low voltage light flashing

I haven't worked on one of them in years but I looked at a breakdown and the parts are as I remember. Go to Milwaukeetool.com and under parts/service type in your model number and view the wiring diagram for an operational check procedure. I would first look at the cord and is the base sitting on 1/2 or greater plate steel. If rusted or painted you will loose some of the holding force. Also I don't know what motor you have but some of the larger units require a lot of amps to operate and it is possible that even though you plugged it in direct to wall the circuit wasn't sufficient to operate both units. Last resort call the tech dept. at Milwaukee and see if they have any ideas. That panel is a component part as you know and there were no replacement parts for it. Hope this helps if not let me know and I will do some more checking

SOURCE: 2000 Bettle won't connect to smog machine.

The term "flash" has to do with the on board OBD2 computer flash memory. New software updates or sometimes performance tuning will be programmed to "flash" this memory effectively changing certain preset values such as ignition timing and air/fuel tables. Most cases i have experience with are for the performance market but have been developed in accordance with factory guidlines.

SOURCE: Fujitsu inverter air cond. just stopped working pr...

It sounds like your inverter is at fault. You will need an inverter tester ( most good service techs will have one ) to prove that the output to the compressor is correct. If the inverter is okay then it will be the compressor at fault with a location error or it is simply seized. A common fault that caused this was the eev remained closed (coil failure ) and caused the compressor to over heat.

SOURCE: Is it possible to repair a defective lithium ion

Maybe there is something wrong with the charger itself. If you have a friend that has the same drill try to charge the battery on his charger.

I have a Milwaukee cordless drill/ driver cat#2801-20 will not work but the flash light will work

The battery is not fully Charged. Please charge for 4 to 5 hours.
The flash light works because it requires lower voltage than drill/driver to work.

Red light on charger flashes. battery doesnt seem to charge.

If the red light is flashing rapidly it means that your charger has determined that your battery pack is in need of replacement and a safety circuit will not allow it to be charged. You may have an actual fault in the pack OR it may just mean that you have allowed the pack to discharge below the manufacturer's recommendations and the safety circuit has been fooled into thinking that the pack is defective. You need to decide which scenario is more likely correct. Using a DC voltmeter, determine if the battery pack has any voltage at all and which connections are positive and negative. If there is zero voltage, then you probably should go shopping and send your current battery to a recycler. If the battery pack does show some voltage, that is a good sign. TRY THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK! You can attempt to partially charge the battery pack (while not in the charger and not in the tool) by using test leads to connect it pos-to-pos and neg-to-neg to a fully charged battery of similar voltage/amperage. Only connect them together for a couple of minutes. Remove the leads and test with the DC voltmeter again to see if voltage in the questionable battery pack has increased by more than a volt or two. If so, it is still taking a charge. Move it back to its charger to see if there is now sufficient voltage to not trigger the safety circuit and allow it to charge normally. Wear eye protection. Don't cross leads. Don't try this on an obviously damaged battery or one that feels hot.

I have the m18 impact driver and i doesnt seem to be spinning as quickly and doesnt have the same power as when i bought it. it still works but not even close to the same.

The only reason a battery powered device slows down is that it's not getting the appropriate voltage from the battery. Your m18 has a lithium-ion battery that when topped off, and for what should be a good long work-period, deliver 18vdc to the motor. Unfortunately, some of the earlier m18 batteries have had some issues and are not fully charging. Some of this is due to improper charging, over heating, storage problems and physical damage.

Milwaukee utilizes a "smart battery" Digital Management System to monitor the "draw" on the battery to keep the user from frying the motor or overtaxing the battery. How hard to you use the tools...perhaps you should trade the stock compact versions for the XC (extra capacity) versions.

You don't say how long you've had these tools, but if you'll go back to the retailer you bought them from, you may be able to get replacement batteries there. Otherwise, check out the Milwaukee website. I think they came out with M18 XC "RED LITHIUM". I think this might be a replacement.

Nonetheless, Milwaukee offers a 2 year warranty on their batteries, so contact your retailer or Milwaukee directly.

HELLO: OUR MILWAUKEE 48-59-2401 BATTERY CHARGER IS NOT CHARGING OUR 48-11-2401 BATTERY PACKS. WHEN YOU RUN THE PACK DOWN TO 1 OR 2 LIGHTS & PUT IT IN THE CHARGER BOTH RED & GREEN LIGHTS FLASH....

If both lights are flashing after you put a cool battery on the charger, the battery is bad. It could have a bad, worn or shorted cell or other problems inside and the charge will not charge it as long as it reads it as a bad battery. Rechargable batteries do have a finite life determined mainly by how many times you recharge them.

Battery only charges 3/4 and recently drill will not function but LED light flickers

Rechargeable batteries do not last forever. Probably need new battery. LED flicker could be from low battery voltage or bad connection.

Ryobi 18V lithium battery won't charge

Hi, Thanks for getting back to me. The yellow and blinking red indicate a defective cell. Since it has lithium cells and is that new any repair to it would be a waste of your time. Ryobi tools purchased in 2008 have a 2 year warranty. I am guessing you probably got it at a home depot and you should return it under the warranty. All new Ryobi tools have a three year warranty. Good Luck! and Thanks for using fixya!

Milwaukee universal battery charger

check the voltage of the batteries before charging. Place on the charger and wait 1/2 hour or so, then recheck voltage. If it has not gone up, your charger is at fault.
