Milwaukee M18 18v lithium ion battery will not charge.
One of my m18 batteries won't charge. If you press the charge indicator it flashes once on one light, if you hold it down it gives you a little light show, and when you put it on the charger it goes from flashes once red then switches to solid green. Is there any way of reviving it? Many thanks in advance!

Brand NEW battery for MILWAUKEE M18. Quick charge with automatic constant current control prevents battery from overcharging, short circuit, and electric shock. Perfect fit for your power tool battery!
you possibly have a bearing/gear problem restricting movement of the mechanical parts. I would try and remove the gearcase first and just try the motor section before going any further. This will narrow it down.
The only reason a battery powered device slows down is that it's not getting the appropriate voltage from the battery. Your m18 has a lithium-ion battery that when topped off, and for what should be a good long work-period, deliver 18vdc to the motor. Unfortunately, some of the earlier m18 batteries have had some issues and are not fully charging. Some of this is due to improper charging, over heating, storage problems and physical damage.
Milwaukee utilizes a "smart battery" Digital Management System to monitor the "draw" on the battery to keep the user from frying the motor or overtaxing the battery. How hard to you use the tools...perhaps you should trade the stock compact versions for the XC (extra capacity) versions.
You don't say how long you've had these tools, but if you'll go back to the retailer you bought them from, you may be able to get replacement batteries there. Otherwise, check out the Milwaukee website. I think they came out with M18 XC "RED LITHIUM". I think this might be a replacement.
Nonetheless, Milwaukee offers a 2 year warranty on their batteries, so contact your retailer or Milwaukee directly.
The same thing happened to me. There is normally a 2 year warranty on the batteries from Milwaukee. You can't return them to the Home Depot, you have to send them back via a local repair center.
You won't be able to exchange the batteries at the repair center. The repair center sends them back to Milwaukee and Milwaukee will send replacement batteries.
You will probably be able to find the closest repair center on line.
Hope this will help
