Well as far as I know charging lithium batteries  below freezing temperatures kills the cells. That's something you'd actually want to avoid.

 

Perhaps the DeWalt batteries/chargers were protecting themselves and your milaukee batteries are possible dieing ?

nothing was even close to frezzing. and yes thnx for the explanation.  I did already know about the batterys but it is something to be aware of for sure

ya I love rafter hooks every gun I have has one every saw needs one! my biggest complaint with the Milwaukee line is the rafter hooks are cheap plastic this one is all metal and works very well. however coming into winter I have major concerns for the batteries I can already tell you Milwaukee is winning that battle.
