I finally moved out of the dark ages and got me a lot of Milwaukee cordless tools with all these Christmas sales going on. Have only had them a week and they have been a phenomenal help with various house and car projects.
However I ran into an issue that I believe to be cold temperature related. When I went out into my uninsulated garage this morning the light on the charger for the 18v battery was flashing green and red which according to the manual indicates a bad cell. Battery works fine and I think being in the teens is giving it a false reading and I heard it’s not a good idea to charge in sub-freezing temps.
I wamt to charge them in the top hutch of my tool box but was thinking of putting insulatinag panels around it so I can store and charge the batteries with no issues. I know the simple solution is charge them in the house but I do not want to bring any more clutter in the house.
What have been some of the things you guys have done to charge cordless tool batteries amd store them during these cold months?
