COLD WEATHER OPERATION

MILWAUKEE Li-Ion battery packs are designed to operate in temperatures below freezing. When 

the battery pack is too cold, it may need to warm up before normal use. Put the battery on a tool 

and use the tool in a light application. It may buzz for a short time until it warms up. When the 

buzzing stops, use the tool normally.

         To reduce the risk of fire, personal injury, and product damage due to a short circuit, 

never immerse your tool, battery pack or charger in fluid or allow a fluid to flow inside them. 

Corrosive or conductive fluids, such as seawater, certain industrial chemicals, and bleach or bleach 

containing products, etc., can cause a short circuit.

MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

Do not expose your battery pack or cordless tools to water or rain, or allow them to get wet. This 

could damage the tool and battery pack. Do not use oil or solvents to clean or lubricate your 

battery pack. The plastic casing will become brittle and crack, causing a risk of injury. Store battery 

packs at room temperature away from moisture. Do not store in damp locations where corrosion 

of terminals may occur. As with other battery pack types, permanent capacity loss can result if the 

pack is stored for long periods of time at high temperatures (over 120° F). MILWAUKEE Li-Ion 

battery packs maintain their charge during storage longer than other battery pack types. After 

about a year of storage, charge the pack as normal. 

TRANSPORT

Personal transport of Li-Ion battery packs is allowed when done in accordance with these 

warnings and instructions. The proper classification, packaging, labeling, marking, and 

documentation requirements for shipping Li-Ion batteries is dependent upon whether the 

particular batteries is dependent upon whether the particular batteries are rated greater than or 

less than 100 Wh. Generally, Li-Ion batteries rated 100 Wh or less are excepted from certain Class 

9 DG requirements. Always check compliance of Li-Ion battery consignments against the current 

regulations governing the chosen mode of transport. When in doubt, contact the carrier or other 

trained Dangerous Goods professional to confirm acceptability. Li-Ion packs are shipped under 

classification UN 3480 (battery only) or UN 3481 (batteries contained in or packed with equipment). 

 To reduce the risk of injury or explosion, never burn or incinerate a battery pack 

even if it is damaged, dead, or completely discharged. When burned, toxic fumes and materials are 

created.

DISPOSING OF MILWAUKEE LI-ION BATTERY PACKS

MILWAUKEE Li-Ion battery packs are more environmentally friendly than some other types of 

power tool battery packs (e.g., nickel-cadmium). Always dispose of your battery pack according to 

federal, state, and local regulations. Contact a recycling agency in your area for recycling locations. 

Even discharged battery packs contain some energy. Before disposing, use electrical tape to cover 

the terminals to prevent the battery pack from shorting, which could cause a fire or explosion. 

RBRC BATTERY RECYCLING SEALS

The RBRC™ Battery Recycling Seals (see Symbology) on your tool battery packs indicate that 

MILWAUKEE has arranged for the recycling of that battery pack with the Rechargeable Battery 

Recycling Corporation (RBRC). At the end of your battery pack‘s useful life, return the battery pack 

to a MILWAUKEE Branch Office/Service Center or the participating retailer nearest you. For more 

information, visit the RBRC web site at www.rbrc.org.
