do you need a new charger or will your old one work

If your old charger is a 12-18 volt 48-59-0255. It is for ni-cad batteries only. Will Not Work. Lithium Ion contain a special circuit that will not work on a ni-cad charger. If your old charger is a 18-28 volt Li-ion & 18 volt Ni-cad 48-59-2818. It will work. Or a charger for only 18 volt Li-Ion will work

I know that Milwaukee makes chargers that work for Nicad and v18 LION batteries. BUT, I am not sure if their early Nicad chargers are compatible. What I do know is that the V18 batteries are some of the worst I have seen, and you probably don't want them even if they are compatible with your charger.

Since I don't know which charger your "old" one is, it's hard to say. However, you need a compatible charger for Li-ion batteries. The one I bought was backward compatible. It will charge LI-ion and Ni-Cad, but the Ni-Cad charger that came with my original 18 volt Ni-Cad set won't charge Li-ion batteries, or at least that's what I was told. The Li-ion batteries are much better than the Ni-Cads, which were so bad Milwaukee should have replaced them for free. I was so disappointed that I may not buy a Milwaukee product again.

There was a period of time when the new LIon batteries and older NiCad had the same configuration, but you had to use the LIon charger; then they were interchangeable. LIon batteries could never be charged on a NiCad charger. Now LIon batteries have a new shape and will not work on even older LIon chargers.

I had an older model, and the new model does not fit in the old model's charger. You need a charger that will fit the newer model. In the past, the handle and charger sold together were less expensive than buying them separately.

Most likely it is the battery. Generally the charger either works or doesn't. If its the original battery I can almost guarantee the battery is shot.

Hi,you will have to purchase another charger (part the handle sits in). We have to do this every fewyears.

Your charger should fit the battery. You must have bought the wrong battery or maybe your charger is damaged?

Your current charger will work just fine. No special charger is required. This battery has greatly improved the battery life.

The new ones do come with charger. The used ones usually do not. Mine did not come with a charger and it was a used one.

Oh, sorry. The charger worked fine and should work on your model. It was the other parts I bought that didn't work.

Some chargers will. Most old chargers will not.Look on the front label to see what type of charger you have.If it does not say Lit-Ion in the list the charger will wreck the new packs.

I have an XPS and it works, it probably works with yours too. To be sure, check the specs. There should be a sticker an your old charger telling you the output voltage and output amperage. This one outputs 19.5V and 4.62A. If your specs match, it will work.

You can ask them to send you a new one, that might charge you for just the charger, I don't know.

I wondered too; as part of my call to their tech support on compatability I asked that question. They said my original charger is OK.

I have bought two chargers from Amazon, had to return one but, Amazon has excellent customer so I did not have any problems on getting a new one.

I would like to see a picture of the current charger before saying it would work. I think it would but want to make sure

Just look at your old charger, if the numbers, such as volts are the same, you should be fine.

You need to test the charger first to see if it's actually putting out a charge. If you have an Ohm's meter or just an "Idiot light" you can do this. Then, if you have a "Batteries R' Us" in your town you can get a new battery. Failing that, They are aval. online. In the past, I've cut the old charger off and using one I have around the house,rewire the battery attachment to an old but working charger. Good luck !
