Having the right power tools is vital for getting construction jobs done well, on time. Yet gradually draining batteries can reduce power tool performance, impacting productivity. Heavy-duty batteries may last longer but can be bulky. Slow charging times on batteries means you need a stack of replacements to avoid delays and downtime.
What about time lost from fatigue and muscle pain? Operating awkward power tools fitted with heavy battery packs can take a toll – especially when working in tight or overhead spaces.
This is why Milwaukee Tool developed its latest REDLITHIUM™ FORGE™ battery for power tools.
The new M18™ REDLITHIUM™ FORGE™ 6.0Ah battery (M18FB6) for the M18™ cordless tool range delivers more power, faster charging and a longer lifespan compared to the standard REDLITHIUM™ battery. It’s also smaller and lighter compared to M18™ REDLITHIUM™ HIGH OUTPUT™ 6.0Ah battery (M18HB6).
When paired with the M18™ Dual Bay Super Charger (M18DBSC), the FORGE™ 6.0Ah reaches 80% charge in only 15 minutes or 100% in 25 minutes. Crucially, the FORGE™ 6.0Ah runs at full power until it’s drained, helping to boost productivity and efficiency and reduce the need for constant battery replacements.
Suitable for a wide range of applications
Designed for maximum performance in high-draw tools and demanding applications, the FORGE™ 6.0Ah is forwards and backwards compatible, meaning it will fit all M18™ tools (over 250 cordless M18™ solutions).
Ergonomic design for user comfort
The combination of lighter weight, compact size and increased power is ideal when working with heavier tools, on overhead tasks or in tight spaces, helping to reduce user fatigue and downtime.
Protection from overheating
Built-in REDLINK™PLUS Intelligence allows optimum performance, protecting the battery from overheating and preventing damage to power tools. A resistant battery housing increases protection against common oils, greases and solvents.
Working in extreme weather conditions? No problem. The FORGE™ 6.0Ah battery is designed to withstand Australia’s tough environment. It even has a protection barrier to route water away from electronics.
Chris Hill, Product Manager OPE and Power Supply at Milwaukee Tools, says the FORGE™ 6.0Ah is ideal for customers looking for more power in a smaller package.
“Tradies are using a tool regularly through the day with high demand being placed on the battery. The FORGE™ 6.0Ah is designed to deliver that power for the full life of the battery,” he says. “In our world it’s all about productivity and efficiency - a better battery that allows you to work more efficiently, for longer.”
