Milwaukee Battery MaintenanceUpdated 3 hours ago

Following a few simple maintenance habits can help maximise battery performance and lifespan.

Charge Correctly

To get the most from your batteries:

• Always use a genuine Milwaukee charger.
• Fully charge batteries before use.
• Avoid charging in extreme temperatures.

Do not leave batteries on charge for extended periods unnecessarily.

Store Batteries Properly

Correct storage plays an important role in battery longevity.

• Store batteries in a cool, dry location.
• Keep away from excessive heat and moisture.
• Avoid leaving batteries in vehicles during extreme weather.
• For long-term storage, maintain a partial charge where possible.

Avoid Complete Discharge

Lithium-ion batteries generally perform best when recharged before becoming fully depleted.

Avoid repeatedly running batteries completely flat whenever possible.

Keep Contacts Clean

Dust, debris and corrosion can affect charging and performance.

Regularly inspect and clean battery terminals using a clean, dry cloth.

Allow Batteries to Cool Before Charging

After demanding applications, allow the battery to cool before placing it on charge.

This can help reduce stress on the internal cells and promote longer battery life.
