The Ultimate Buyer's Guide for Purchasing Power Tool Battery Pack for Milwaukee

Cordless power tool batteries used to be simple and easy to understand, where the higher the number, the greater the charge capacity and runtime.

With competitive price and timely delivery, semitech sincerely hope to be your supplier and partner.

Now, things are a bit more complicated, especially with the introduction of new battery technologies, such as Milwaukee’s Forge.

Here, I’ll quickly classify all current Milwaukee M18 cordless power tool batteries, and provide context and background information I hope you find helpful and convenient.

Milwaukee M18 Battery Sizes

Milwaukee has three main M18 battery size form factors, CP, XC, and HD.

CP – Compact

XC – Extended Capacity

HD – High Demand

Prior to the introduction of the new Forge pouch cell battery, M18 batteries where characterized by the number of Li-ion cells they contained. CP batteries had (5) cylindrical Li-ion cells, XC batteries had (10), and HD had (15).

Now, especially with the new Forge XC 6Ah battery featuring Li-ion pouch cells, the XC descriptor refers to the sizing category.

CP, XC, and HD can roughly describe battery power output and performance expectations as well, but not as accurately as they used to.

Because of this, I think that these labels should only be used to classify M18 batteries according to size and weight.

CP -> Compact (and Light)

XC -> Medium

HD -> Large

Milwaukee M18 Battery Power Scale

Milwaukee recently introduced a Power Scale with 4 different tiers. These tiers preceded the introduction of their M18 Forge battery; this is a new and more elegant presentation of existing tiering.

The higher the power scale level, the greater the potential output and performance delivery of a battery. Generally, the more power a battery can deliver, the cooler and longer it can operate under heavily loads.

Milwaukee has not (yet?) published power level requirements for their M18 cordless power tools. All of their batteries fit all of their tools, but there are more and less ideal pairings.

Based on my familiarity with Milwaukee M18 cordless power tool batteries, I would classify all of the current M18 batteries as follows.

Power Level 1

CP 1.5Ah
CP 2.0Ah

Power Level 2

CP 3.0AH – High Output

XC 3.0Ah
XC 4.0Ah
XC 5.0Ah

Power Level 3

XC 6.0Ah – High Output
XC 8.0Ah – High Output

Power Level 4

XC 6.0Ah – Forge
HD 12.0Ah – High Output

Does that make sense? Following is a look at where this all comes from.

Where the M18 Battery Power Levels Come From

As I mentioned above, Milwaukee’s different M18 battery power levels are not entirely new, it’s just that we’re talking about it in a new way.

For that matter, Milwaukee hasn’t exactly discussed the different power levels either; I found the diagram in their Forge battery product listing, and consider it clear enough to reframe how we talk about cordless power tool batteries.

The First M18 RedLithium Batteries

Around 10 years ago, there were CP and XC batteries. Technically, there were compact and XC batteries, as Milwaukee’s CP terminology didn’t appear until much later.

Here is what the power levels looked like towards the end of this age of M18 battery tech.

Power Level 1

CP 1.5Ah
CP 2.0Ah

Power Level 2

XC 3.0Ah
XC 4.0Ah
XC 5.0Ah

HD Batteries

Milwaukee introduced their M18 High Demand 9.0Ah battery in , along with an XC 6Ah battery (not High Output or Forge).

With the High Demand (HD) 9.0Ah battery, a new power level was created. At the time, the CP batteries had 5 Li-ion cells, the XC batteries had 10 Li-ion cells, and the HD battery had 15 Li-ion cells.

Because of how the tools featured common battery technologies, CP, XC, and HD could be used to describe the batteries’ physical sizes, as well as their power output capabilities.

Power Level 2

XC 6.0Ah

Power Level 3

HD 9.0Ah

Both of these batteries have since been discontinued.

High Output Batteries

Milwaukee debuted their first M18 High Output batteries in .

While the earlier CP and XC batteries delivered Power Levels 1 and 2, respectively, the High Output CP and XC batteries are classified in Power Levels 2 and 3 instead.

The new High Output HD battery created another new higher power level.

Power Level 2

CP 3.0AH – High Output

Power Level 3

XC 6.0Ah – High Output
XC 8.0Ah – High Output

Power Level 4

HD 12.0Ah – High Output

Milwaukee RedLithium?

Milwaukee updated their M12 and M18 Li-ion cordless power tool batteries in (here’s our post from the time), with the then-new RedLithium batteries delivering longer runtime, more power, and more charging cycles than their earlier generation batteries. The RedLithium batteries also operated in a wider temperature range.

All of Milwaukee’s M18 batteries since then feature RedLithium branding.

Milwaukee High Output

Milwaukee’s earlier M18 batteries were engineered with -sized Li-ion cells.

With cylindrical cells, the first two digits represent the cell diameter, and the second two represent their length. An cell has a cylindrical shape with nominal dimensions of 18mm in diameter and 65mm in length.

With M18 High Output (HO), Milwaukee introduced batteries that were engineered with -sized Li-ion cells.

Li-ion cells are physically larger than cells.

Let’s say you have an cell with 3.0Ah charge capacity, and a cell with 3.0Ah charge capacity. Generally speaking, both cells should deliver the same runtime in light duty applications. However, the cell will have lower charge density and should operate cooler. This allows it to deliver higher power levels than the smaller-sized cell, and for longer.

Looking at battery datasheets to further the point, the maximum continuous discharge current for Samsung’s 3.0Ah battery cell (INR-30Q) is 15A at 25°C, and for their 3.0Ah battery (INR-30T) it’s 35A at 25°C.

The takeaway is that Milwaukee’s M18 High Output batteries can deliver greater power than non-HO batteries with the same cell count.

For example, a High Output CP 3.0Ah battery, engineered with 5x Li-ion cells, should deliver higher power than a CP 2.0Ah battery, and match the performance output level of their XC 3.0Ah, 4.0Ah, or 5.0Ah batteries.

What About Milwaukee Forge?

Milwaukee says that their new M18 Forge XC 6.0Ah battery can deliver the same power level as their High Output HD 12.0Ah battery.

Therefore, this battery has an XC size, and is classified in the Power Level 4 tier.

What About Runtime?

An amp-hour is a measure of charge capacity – it’s the number of hours a battery can deliver a constant current of one amp.

A fully-charged 5.0Ah battery can deliver a 1.0A current for up to 5 hours, a 2.5A current for up to 2 hours, a 5.0A current for up to 1 hour, and so forth.

When comparing batteries of the same voltage you can go by amp-hour. When comparing batteries across voltages, go by watt-hours (volts x amp-hours), which is a measure of energy storage capacity.

An M18 5.0Ah battery (90 watt-hours) will power a low-drain cordless power tool for longer than a 3.0Ah (54 watt-hours) battery.

Heavier Duty Battery Choices (PWR3): XC-HO

Highest Duty Battery Choices (PWR4): XC-Forge, HD-HO

How do You Choose the Best M18 Battery?

It’s usually a good idea to start by checking to see which batteries a particular tool might be kitted with. For instance, if Milwaukee bundles a particular M18 tool with a High Output XC 8.0Ah battery in a kit, you should probably look at that battery, or perhaps others in power levels 3 or 4.

I would say that the XC batteries offer a balance between size, weight, and performance, and they span 3 out of 4 of the different power levels.

You can choose an XC battery based on size, power, or cost, and then down to CP or up to HD depending on the tool or your needs and preferences.

Unfortunately, as with most other brands’ cordless power tool lines, Milwaukee’s M18 tools are not divided by power levels. I think we might see this change at some point.

Questions?

I hope this helped demystify Milwaukee’s M18 battery sizes. It’s not an easy topic – please let me know if you have any questions!

Comparing Power Tool Battery Specs – Watt-Hours vs Amp-Hours

Milwaukee M18 Battery Comparison

Welcome to our comprehensive buying guide, where we dive deep into the Milwaukee M18 battery lineup, designed to supercharge your Milwaukee tools and keep them running at peak performance.

From compact and extended capacity to high-output batteries, we'll explore their features, applications, and real-world advantages. We examine the Milwaukee M18 battery ecosystem, giving you the knowledge to make informed choices and keep your tools charged and ready to go.

Simplifying Battery Power: Volts vs. Amp-Hours and What They Mean for Your Tools

Understanding volts and amp-hours is essential because these two metrics provide distinct insights into the performance and runtime of your power tools.

• Volts: Think of volts as the measurement of tool power. It quantifies the power a battery can deliver at a given time. The higher the voltage rating, the more powerful your tool will be. So, if you're tackling demanding tasks that require substantial power, opting for a higher-voltage tool is a wise choice.
• Amp Hours (Ah): Conversely, Amp-hours represent the battery's runtime. This metric can be likened to the 'fuel tank' of the battery. A higher amp-hour rating means a larger 'fuel tank,' allowing you to run your cordless power tool on a single charge for a more extended period. If you have projects that demand longer operating times between charges, selecting a battery with a higher amp-hour rating is the way to go.

It's important to note that several factors within your power tool also influence how efficiently it transfers power from the battery and how long it can operate on one charge. These factors must be considered to ensure that your chosen battery aligns with the specific requirements of your project.
