Both of mine have gone bad due to the cold and I could use a few new ones. If anyone has a drill that went bad and they still have the batteries or something like that, let me know.

I don't think it's worth the hassle of buying some used ones off somebody. Just get yourself some new batteries.

Sometimes if Milwaukee 12V tools that were allowed to die completely your charger will flash that the bat is bad.

There is a fix that you can search the net for to "jump" the batteries to get them to charge, all you need is a 9V battery and a couple of alligator clip leads.

Milwaukee batteries have 3 terminals, the double is the ground, just hit them for about 15 seconds then put in the charger, and they should pick up a charge, assuming the battery is not toast.

Haven't tried it myself, but it is supposed to work. Just waiting for a dead battery

Yeah I guess if the battery is already dead, there's nothing to lose.
