Milwaukee continues to invest in the M18™ battery platform, with upgrades to battery capability without sacrificing compatibility, protecting users’ investment in the platform and tools they use day in, day out.
The latest REDLITHIUM™ FORGE™ 8.0Ah and 12.0Ah batteries offer fast, efficient charging, with COOL-CYCLE™ and CHARGE ADAPT™ technology.
What are the benefits of COOL-CYCLE™ technology?
The COOL-CYCLE™ Active Cooling System enables hot batteries to charge to 100%, with instant cooling for less downtime when partnered with a COOL-CYCLE™ compatible charger. This allows users to maximise efficiency and productivity in high demand applications.
With other batteries and chargers, a warm, recently discharged battery will take time to cool down before the charger can start recharging the battery. COOL-CYCLE™ enables the charging process to start faster.
Charged batteries come off the charger cooler as well, meaning more work can be done across the day. Because the cells and electronics cool quickly, this also extends the life of the battery.
What are the benefits of CHARGE ADAPT™ technology?
CHARGE ADAPT™ optimises the charging process. When charging a single battery, the charger provides full charge capacity to that battery. When charging two batteries, the charger will send two thirds of its charging capacity to one battery, bringing it up to approximately 80% before switching over to the second battery. This enables the two batteries to be charged at a fast rate. One battery is fully charged and ready to use while the second battery finishes charging, enabling users to get back to work faster.
What industries and applications are the batteries suited for?
M18™ REDLITHIUM™ FORGE™ batteries are compatible with all M18™ tools. Users will see maximum impact in heavy demand applications on the jobsite, whether it’s:
- A carpenter ripping lengths of timber with their M18 FUEL™ Circular Saw.
- A boilermaker using their M18 FUEL™ Angle Grinder for extended periods.
- A landscape maintenance professional powering their M18 FUEL™ QUIK-LOK™ Outdoor Power Head to complete various applications such as line trimming, tree limbing, or soil rejuvenation with assorted QUIK-LOK™ attachments.
All industries will have tools and applications that allow them to maximise the impact of FORGE™ batteries.
What customer and industry problems do the batteries solve?
- Faster charge times enable users to not only get back to work faster, but also reduce the number of batteries required across the work day.
- Downtime is the enemy of productivity, and with FORGE™ batteries partnering with the Super Charger, this is reduced, allowing users to power through jobs fast.
“M18™ REDLITHIUM™ FORGE™ batteries are designed for high draw tools and demanding applications, allowing for maximum tool performance due to their ability to deliver the most power. When paired with the M18™ Dual Bay Super Charger, M18™ REDLITHIUM™ FORGE™ batteries delivery the most power, fastest charging and longest life of all Milwaukee batteries,” says Harry Taylor, Account Manager at Milwaukee Tools.
