Hey Vince I have the rapid charger it's rated at 18v/6amps charge,I have the regular charger it's rated at 18v/3amps. Both are duel m18/m12 You have a older regular charger m18 only what are the amps on it.( It says on the charger)? just curious.

I had a set of the older 2.0 slim battery from about 2010. Look at the bottom where the contacts are. There are two raised ridges on it vs 1 on the 5.0. This ridge prevented the battery from being used with some of the higher demand tools like the salzaw. This is probably the lightning indicates.

chill out man

One would only expect the old batteries to not charge faster is the quick charge used a different voltage and somehow relied on communication with the battery. Quick Charge 2.0 for a phone, for example, jumps to 9V instead of 5V, so that particular thing only works if the phone battery understands what is being attempted. If using a 2A charger at 5V instead of a 1A charger at 5V, the 2A charges faster even though a phone battery wasn't specifically designed to charge at that particular rate. Just replace phone battery with M18 battery and it's the same thing. If one charger says 3A at 18V and another says 6A at 18V, you can assume the 6A one will charge faster even though batteries were not specifically designed with that charger in mind. The same could be said about any type of battery. I have a AA battery charger that can do 200mA all the way to 1500mA. You can charge a car battery at 50A if you really want to. It's not recommended because it will electrolyze some of the water, but you can do it.

Omfg... I never seen that... I just spent US$500 on m18 High Outputs.. so cool Vin... I hit like... Less than a hour full charge... Bang

Has anybody else had any problems with the 9.0 not fully charging at first I thought that the led might not be lighting up but they clearly didn't last as long as the ones that were fully charged. Milwaukee said they are unaware of any problem but I now have had a third one go. To Milwaukee credit they warrantied it no questions asked but its getting annoying and making me hesitant to keep stocking up batteries I thought about getting different sizes large batteries (8.0 or 12.0) in the future but just the other day happened to one of my 12.0!! never had a problem with 4.0 or 5.0 and had them much longer. Another great video Vince keep up the great work

My issues with the defective 9.0 battery design and Milwaukee's failure to give a damn about a problem they know exists among that product line, along with their failure to remedy the situation, has destroyed my faith in the company.

i forgot to enter, but figured it's worth a try, maybe there's a glitch in the very cool gang's system. So did I win an M18 set? "No, Oh well. You guys still rock 👍🏾

I had an old school m18 charger that would flash over temp on 5.0 batteries. Was yrs ago so never tried it with the 9s ended up giving it to a co worker

Hey Vince I've got a Milwaukee 5.0xc battery and I was using it on my weed eater and for some reason the battery stopped working and the lights on the battery started flashing back and forth. And alternating lights where blinking back and forth. Idk what the deal is but this is my newest battery. So I don't get it. Any info you have I'd much appreciate. Thanks in advance.

My first drill has these batteries and they both only charge up to 2 light bars ? Is this common ? can I do anything about it ?

Leaving a comment that I watched your video. Question: if there is a "lightning bolt" on the battery, will it charge even faster in the rapid charger?

It actually says in the manual for the rapid charger dont charge batteries that dont have the lightning bolt. Dont know why

That is not surprising since a M18 "charger" is not a charger but a power source. The charge controller is inside the battery. That is how they can balance charge the pack using only five contacts on the battery. For the M12 the "charger" is actually the charger.

the correct way to do that experiment is to put them in a tool and see if the battery life is the same. finish the experiment on another vid. just thinkin out loud.

I wanna know why my older 5.0s have a silver bar on label and newer ones are black with a wifi type signal on battery. No idea what the purpose of it is. Really only have one 5.0 left with silver strip all newer and 9.0s for me. Soon as a deal on 12.0s I'm in.. or new job site at work and I'll get the 6/9in grinder and 2 12.0s.

Vince would you ever be interested in selling a one key impact? I really am wanting to buy one but man they are so much!

Cool

I got new 2 battery m18 both and charger lights up Green and Red won’t charge what should I do

How about some data and detail. Did you use newer rapid chargers? Those have like double the charge current capacity. Can't charge any battery faster than its charger can chooch. And, would you try it with some proper high capacity batteries? These little ones only have one 18 volt bank of cells inside. They can only take so much charge current, just like how they can only _discharge_ at a limited current. Slap one on a big impact wrench, sawzall or demo hammer and it'll drastically underperform. What would be actually interesting and valuable, is to see how the discrepancy in chsrge time (on 6A fast chargers) if any, scales for higher capacity batteries with multiple 18 volt banks (combined).

I was disappointed I thought this would be good info about not using the rapid charger on at the very least any 1p pack but sure it will charger it way to fast but that's not good for them pushing 6 amps

good to know

I got a brushless drill set today and the cp 2.0 is flashing green and red is that bad?

I noticed that it does charge faster on the rapid charger. I wonder how charging hot affects the life of the battery.

@erics.4113

3 жыл бұрын

I let mine cool a bit if possible before charging since the charge creates more heat. Lithium ion are ok heated up but upper limits can cause issues. To be safe I try not to let them get too hot.

Should test them when you toke them off the chargers see the one lasted the longest

Rapid charger doesn't work without the lighting bolt haha

Great video. I've got 3 M18 batteries that only charge to 2 bars. Is my charger bad? Comments appreciated. Rick

@InsuranceIsLegalizedRobbery

The easiest way for you to tell.. have the batteries charged on another charger, use a friend’s or a co-worker’s one to see if there will be a difference? or if just try charging a different battery pack with your charger, Though; I haven’t opened up any of my M18 batteries but I’ve bought a used DeWalt 3.0Ah battery from local flea market, I went a head to fully charge it, (Dewalt only uses 3bar indicator lights) so then, charger shows it’s full, battery only shows 2 bars!! I’ve been sketchy about the charge indicator light board though, I opened up the pack and I figured that the 3rd wire connection was weak, when I put my finger tip on the back of the connection the light comes up.. then I’ve found that the battery was good . Hope that helps Mike

Open and balance the battery manually. I use a 12v 5W bulb to draw down any high cells. A lipo charger to bring up low ones. Has worked a treat on my 12ah packs.
