M18 Red Lith XC5.0 I jad the same problem. Tried this and it worked. I only left the batteries connected for about 30 seconds. Thanks for the fix! Saved me from dealing with Milwaukee.

Just started working at a heavy diesel repair shop. I noticed many chargers and batteries out of commission. Deap pockets just buy new batteries and chargers apparently. Thank you for the information.

Worked on mine - I have a variable power supply - put in 18V 1A max, and in 20 seconds the voltage went up to 11V, with one blinking light on the battery pushbutton LED display. Plugged into the charger, and it worked great

I did it and it worked the only difference is I used a battery maintainer, thanks.

Wow this shit worked!!!! I had nothing fancy like you. So I used a coax cable stripped it to the wire made two small cables for positive and negative waiting 8 minutes and boom!!! Thank you

But you need a second milwaukee battery to make this work? Is there a different battery i can use as the power source?

@AccuracySpeaks 2 ай бұрын

I'm sure there is if you know what you're doing. I do not know a great deal about electronics, so I don't want to tell you something that can ruin your gear or hurt yourself. I'd imagine if you have a battery with the same or similar voltage you could probably excite the cells enough to trick the charger. As far as I know, all you're doing here is tickling the cells with enough charge to show at least a little charge on the battery so the charger will recognize it is a battery. If you go to throwing too much amperage or voltage to an electronic device, I do know you have the potential for bad things to occur like explosions, fires, and possibly injury, so be careful! If you've never had a battery blow up on you, I'll tell you this, you don't want to! I witnessed a truck battery explode one day many years ago on my Dad's old 70's C-10 Chevrolet. If you would have been working under the hood when that damn thing blew, it would have killed you without a doubt, it was about like a grenade going off, it was a hell of an explosion, one I hope to never witness again!

I bought a 2 pc combo drill and driver pack from home depot that came with a 3rd battery....after trying the insert and remove 20 times (only guidance I got from milwaukee) it still didn't work....I'm going to try this with 1 of my other batteries and see if my 3rd battery just is too dead to charge, I sure hope it works.

Hope it works! Yeah "OLD Milwaukee" isn't going to tell you anything, they just want your money!

Will this work with the M12 batteries? My XC6.0 is doing the same thing.

@AccuracySpeaks 18 күн бұрын

I'm not an electrical engineer, so I cannot positively answer this, however, I'd say it's possible. If it were me, I'd be careful and use similar voltages... I have an automotive charger with this so-called "smart" technology that I have likely replaced several perfectly good batteries because the charger wouldn't charge the battery! I feel this is no accident, they want to sell batteries!

@MarcialR4 3 күн бұрын

Helloo, where i can find the cables?

@AccuracySpeaks 2 күн бұрын

I made mine with about a foot of speaker wire and crimped on 4 spade connectors. If you don't have any wire laying around, Radio Shack, if they even still exist, would have some wire, or a car stereo shop would probably have some. They may even throw you a jumper together if they were cool if you asked them...

I don’t have another tool battery to hook my dead battery to. Can I use a trickle charger or my car battery?

@AccuracySpeaks 18 күн бұрын

Someone in the comments said they used a maintainer to trick theirs, however, I haven't tested it, nor can I confirm it. Just be careful!

@@calonstanni putting too much voltage or amperage into batteries and such can cause some nasty things to occur. If you do things incorrectly, you can have a battery explode or possibly a fire, and you don't want that to occur! I'd ask a friend that is handy for some advice. As far as responding, you're certainly welcome! I'm sorry I can't tell you anything with certainty. Check out a comment below from a viewer that stated that they used a battery tender.

Battery Issue. The Fix is Place a Jumper from bad battery to a good charged battery. Pos + to Pos + and Neg - to Neg- terminals wait for about 15 minuets for battery to equalize. problem solved. both batteries are ready for work or charge to full
