Though not issuing a product recall, Milwaukee is warning users of its M18 High Demand 9.0 battery packs to avoid highly conductive or corrosive liquids such as sea water, some industrial chemicals, bleach, and bleach-containing products. Milwaukee says that should these fluids get inside the M18 High Demand 9.0 battery pack “in sufficient quantities, it can cause battery pack failure.” A battery pack can fail in this scenario by short-circuiting, which could result in smoking or fire – even when the battery is just sitting around after the exposure and not in use. The expanded safety warning and instructions are available here, and there is FAQ site here.
