The MILWAUKEE M18 REDLITHIUM XC5.0 Starter Kit delivers up to 2.5X more runtime, 20% more power and 2X more recharges than standard lithium-ion batteries. The lithium-ion battery pack features superior pack construction, electronics, and performance providing users more work per charge and more work over pack life than any battery on the market. The rechargeable battery also delivers users with 5.0 amp-hours of runtime. Each battery pack is durably built for heavy-duty use, runs cooler, and performs in climates below 0°F/-18°C. This protection routes water away from the electronics and out of the battery pack, extends the users’ battery run-time and life by minimizing heat, and prevents pack failures from vibration or drops. Built-in REDLINK Intelligence protects the battery from overloads, preventing users from damaging their cordless power tools in heavy-duty situations, while the discharge protection prevents cell damage. An integrated temperature management system and individual cell monitoring help to maximize battery life. Switch to Milwaukee’s REDLITHIUM XC5.0 Battery Pack to instantly upgrade the runtime and durability of Milwaukee M18 cordless tools. In addition to the battery pack, the starter kit includes an M18 & M12 Battery Charger.

Very disappointed in the purchase of the the Milwaukee router advertising. Although it just says Router only one would assume battery was with it because it mentions it. Way over price for battery and charger I had to purchase.

Battery doesn’t last long enough Needs a reducer at end of tube to increase power and direct airflow better

I purchased the Millwaukee 18V battery and charger combination. I brought it home, plugged it in to charge the batter. Initially everything seemed fine, the red charging light came on and I had about 25% charge on the battery to start with. A while later I went to check on it, all the lights were were out, no green light to indicate that the charge was complete. I checked the battery and it was only 50% charged, the charger had broken. I went on line and found out that this seems to be a common problem with the Rapid Charge units, I ready many comments about this problem, including here. I returned the unit the next day to Home Depot, and got a new one, this one seems to be fine, battery fully charged in a short period of time, green indicator light came on. I have mixed feelings about recommending this charger, it seems kind of hit or miss if the one you purchase has a problem, Milwaukee needs to address this issue, I expect better quality from them.

So far it’s been working like a champ but as I learned from past battery chargers is you need to remove the full charged battery once the charging cycle is done. If not your batteries will die out prematurely if you leave it on an energized charger. So now I only buy Milwaukee Power Tools because the previous power tool company i was loyal to (think blue) said their chargers were “smart” and stopped charging the battery when full…well their blue charger was full of ****… Only buy Milwaukee and you save dollars in the long run…

Milwaukee tools are always the best – rugged, durable, functional. The 2.0Ah battery came in my kit, but it is only suitable for small projects with short use time. The 5.0Ah provides enough runtime to complete several hours of intermittent use (seems like much more than 2.5 time the 2.0Ah). By the time the 5.0Ah has run down, then other batteries can be charged and ready to go. A bit expensive but overall worth it for professional quality.

I’ve only charged it once and it works really good. Charges pretty quick! The battery was also a perfect match to my Milwaukee impact wrench!
