Default MILWAUKEE BATTERY RECALL

Humphhhh. The 12 and 18V batteries for my HF drills have worked great
for 2-3 years.. The Milwaukee batteries are another example of what
happens when you TRY to make them cheap, so they fail soon. Anyone have
an HF battery fail?

click on the battery, right hand side.

Unforturately my batteries are newer than that, even though that are
all junk, I think I have bought my last milwaukee tool. all three of
my batteries have failed along with the charger. I did fix two of the
batteries my taking them apart and soldering the broken spot weld on a
battery tab.

BTW, Milwaukee is not an American company, owned by the Swiss, and no
part of my 18V hammer drill kit was made in the USA.

Thank You,
Randy
