Milwaukee 48-11-1850 M18 Redlithium 5.0Ah Bat Pack

Milwaukee tools and supplies cost more than others brands but, they are worth it because they last longer.

Work as intended and the value is perfect.

Seems legit, works well and held up, definitely not aftermarket fake

I do a lot of DIY projects and some paid carpentry jobs. I'm a diehard Milwaukee tools guy, however, I've been using a lineup of mostly M18 1.5ah batteries in everything. The 1.5's work great for drills and jig saws, but on my circular saw or sawzall I was getting 2 or 3 eight foot cuts out of them and the battery indicator would automatically drop to 3 bars after 5 minutes of work. Frustrating to say the least. I decided to finally pull the trigger on a 5.0 because, although I am naturally very hesitant of reviews, I'd heard so much praise from fellow Milwaukee guys that I figured I should pull the trigger and see for myself. Well, let me tell you, the reviews are correct. These 5.0 batteries are simply incredible. For example, I just built a kitchen island and spent the entire day cutting. Whereas I used to have to always have one battery on the charger and constantly changing them with the 1.5's... when I was finished the 5.0 still had 3 out of the 4 indicators on and was slicing through 2x4s like they were made out of butter. The battery itself is listed as being rated for 1,800 full charges. That's more than any other battery I've ever found (or any cell phone.) Lastly, at the time of purchase I got these for $60 cheaper on Amazon than they were listed at HD. I've had two of these now for over a year and there is absolutely no discernible difference in power after using and charging them multiple times each week. Another thing I noticed is the massive increase in power with the 5 amps. The saw sounds completely different and cuts smoother. My Milwaukee blower I have feels like I went from blowing leaves with a straw to now whereas I fear the sticks I'm flinging through the air might damage my fence. Im not here to try to be a salesman, just trying to help out any of you others out there who run into constant power issues like I always have, or are just looking for a little less headache. The 5.0 was and is, literally, a game changer for me on a daily basis. I'll include some pics for you (I apologize for the sawdust) and you can see how it also compares in size to the 1.5ah battery.[...]

Good quality

So when I first plugged in the battery it did flash red and green and wouldn't charge so I plugged in an old battery and the old battery started charging so I went back with the new battery and pressed it in firmly and now it's charging fine. If you have this issue just make sure you push it in very firmly as the pins may be a little stiff. Overall seems to be the best deal out there for these batteries since they sell for at least double at the big box stores. Will update in a few months to see how battery holds up under regular backyard mechanic use.

This battery arrived in original Milwaukee packaging and it was delivered FAST! It took some effort to cut through the stiff plastic packaging but once I got the battery loose it was obviously genuine. When I placed it in the charger it showed one red bar and I got the flashing red & green lights some people complained about saying the battery was defective but I held the charger and pushed the battery into the charger and it "snapped" into position and charged fully in less than an hour and this is a 5.0 Ah battery. Very impressive. The charger I have and used is Model 48-59-1812. I believe the fact that the battery was new caused it to take a bit more effort to fully seat it in the charger, at least the first time. I am very happy with the seller and the battery.

Espectacular

El pedido llego en tiempo y forma, el paquete llego tal cual se ven las imágenes en la pagina, envío seguro y en tiempo y forma. El producto se ve bien estoy satisfecho con la compra, estoy muy satisfecha al recibir el cargador se ve que es original y funciona sin problema, creo haber detectado que inclusive el torque del taladro es mejor debido a la capacidad de la pila

Nice affordable price

Long lasting quick charging great as a backup battery. Would recommend.

Good deal for the price

Excelente calidad del producto. Muy buen rendimiento.
