Just watched your video and tried it. I have been so annoyed red-green flash of death coming from the original battery that was never out of the case. I made the jumper wire, connected them for 10 minutes and problem solved! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and posting the video!
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.
Milwaukee customer service is absolutely 💯 HORRIBLE. Either you pay to ship it in or you go back to the store you bought it from. A BRAND new battery! I will try this, thanks.
@@rvz77 I hate to hear that, especially with how much they are in love with their products! Their prices on that stuff are getting insane! I guess I'll be looking more into Harbor Freight stuff in the future, I hear it is getting pretty good, and hell, it's all made overseas anyway!
THANK YOU! This (my own similar method) worked for me, with a simple 9V battery as the donor. My drill, battery, and charger were all brand new. I used the drill till the battery was depleted, so I went to charge it for the first time, and it wouldn't charge; I got the alternating red/green lights on the charger. Didn't know WHAT could be wrong, this stuff is BRAND NEW! I found your video. Now, I did not have a second battery to use as the donor charge, so I tried a 9V battery. Hooked up the wires, + to +, - to -, and let it sit for about 10 minutes. Neither battery got hot, nor did the wires. After the ten minutes, I disconnected the wires and slid the battery onto its charger, and BAM... red charging lights! AWESOME! Thank you so much. Now I just hope I don't have to do this every single time the battery is depleted.
@bernardo81 Right on, my friend. I'm glad it worked for you! Thanks for the feedback, I love hearing folks got some help and didn't get screwed out of some hard earned dough!!
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
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
Thanks, Fyi- I used two larger carpet razor blades, put one blade on positive sides of two 5.0 batteries, then added second blade to the negative side and the same method you used worked like a champ after several minutes of jumping dead battery, then charged perfect. Stack batteries on each other for fitment.
Thanks! This method worked for me too!.. tricked the smart charger by recharging it from another battery 👌🏻 too legit to quit ⚡️😎. Snagged a used battery deal on offer up & 1 of the 3 flashed red/ green.. prolly drained dead for too long. This fixed it! 👌🏻
An angry trip to Home Depot these days would be just that, just you being angry! Home Depot nor Ol' Milwaukee could care less, nor would they likely do anything to curb your anger. Then you'd just be standing there angry with a dead battery with the ol' Lady, kids, and the dog all upset cause you're angry, haha! And if you don't have an ol' Lady, kids, and a dog, you'd just be angry, and Home D and Milwaukee would just be laughing at you with your dough in their pocket! All joking aside, you're welcome! The sad fact of the matter is the joke is REAL these days with the lack of customer service and the lack of a company standing by a product!
I have a 1.5 AH M18. Used it once in an LED lamp. Perhaps I left the lamp on, perhaps not, but the battery was dead. Tried to charge it in the Milwaukee charger. Two chargers the same symptom, flashing red and green. I have an electronics lab bench supply. Connected the supply to the battery as in the video. Turned the current limit all the way down, and cranked the voltage up to maybe 12V, then cranked the current up to 1A. As the battery charged, the current went down, so I gradually turned up the voltage in steps until I got to 18V. At 18 volts, I let it charge until the current started dropping below 1A at 18V. Took only about 5 minutes. Disconnected the supply and plugged the battery into the charger. Now is charging OK. Up to 2 bars. Just completed charge.
I didn’t have the wire so I use a coat hanger and it actually work! Thanks for the video. I had 2 brand new batteries out a set do the same thing. I’m glad could get them working again! 👍👍👍
I heard this trick of an adding a small charge manually also works for enabling charging of a really dead automobile battery with one of those portable lithium battery jump starters they won’t operate with a battery that is too far gone. However, doing this trick to fool a smart charger into charging a dead or defective battery can lead to overheating, swelling, and possibly fire/explosion. One of the cells in series in the pack may have gone bad so forcibly charging it could have undesirable consequences. The safety features are put there for a reason.
A nearly new 2.0 battery had 1 bar, sat on charger at a job site with a large generator running (for all contractors to use). Charger solid red light for 5 hours, still only 1 bar on battery. Tried at home just now and after maybe 5 minutes, charger light steady green, but just 2 bars on battery. But only way to see bars is to remove battery from charger and press button, bars don’t show while charging. What’s going on?
I tried this probably six months ago. Not sure what I did wrong because it killed my 8ah battery. I now have a dead 12ah, 8ah, and two 6ah batteries that are all paperweights. Seeing all the positive responses makes me think I did something wrong but I did a similar process to your video. Used 12 gauge wire and the wire got extremely hot, extremely quick.
Giddyup…thanks saved my boss from having to replace that….well, ok….told my company that battery was no good, they bought me a new one, and the old one is going home with me….lol.
Can i do this with a different battery to try jump my m18? I have several different drills br only 1 m18 battery. Just bought a new charger thinking that eas the issue an it flashing like yours was
Thank you, this sort of worked. My dead battery (which the indicator showed zero bar) when place in the charger, flashed red/green. Then I tied your trick with a good battery (neg to Neg / Pos to Pos) and when I put the bad battery in the charger it went direct to Green. So it did make a difference. I left it on the charger for about an hour or more, it still stayed on green. On the battery itself, the indicator only showed one bar and was flashing red. Another hour, charger is still green and the battery indicator is still showing a single bar, flashing red. Any suggestions or thoughts?
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.
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 had the same issue with a brand new drill and battery package bought from Home Depot. Instead of following these directions, I noticed that the batteries had 1 bar left of charge. I put each battery into the drill and ran it for 10 seconds or so and then back into the charger. Now, both batteries are charging fine. Somehow the batteries need to be "woken up" before charging. Bizarre. Seems like a consumer complaint or something should be done to warn shoppers about this.
@@AccuracySpeaks um...I have no experience with stuff like this. I'm a 61 year old cat-lady. What should I be careful of? BTW...THANKS SO MUCH FOR RESPONDING!!!😘
@@calonstanni putting too much voltage or amperage into batteries and such can cause some nasty things to occur.

If your using your tool and when it is almost a dead battery you'll hear the tool slow down. Stop right there and put it on the charger when the battery cools down. Never run your battery to the completely dead point . .... The charger is looking for 18 volts to know what to charge your battery with. If you run it to long it'll be a voltage the charger does not know and faults out the charger
The chargers fine its the stupid bms in the m18 packs. They're a joke, it's more common the 9 ah and 12 ah that go to shit in my experience, nearly all of them end up doing this (I have one with about 15 charge cycles on it that's playing up already).

Now the ones I've done this to flash as empty on the battery and the charger says they're full, multi meter says 14v. Only way to fix now is buying a spot welder and cells to replace the dodgy ones.
I have a brand new M12/M18 charger, model 48-59-1812, that seems to charger the batteries OK, but the area above the port for the M18 gets so hot that you can smell melting plastic. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, was there a way to correct it other than sending it to Milwaukee for evaluation?
If it's brand new it would for sure be under warranty. If it's getting that hot, I'd recommend not using it and contacting them, I'm sure they'd gladly get you another charger out to you, you certainly don't want to burn your house down! To answer your question, I have never experienced the situation you are.
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...
Hello, i have a Milwaukee charger that flashes red, i tried jumping but it didn’t work. Red flashing means outside charging temperature, i left it over night and that didn’t work.
