NEW Milwaukee® M12™ Compact 3.0 Ah and Extended Capacity 6.0 Ah batteries

With the ability to deliver more work per charge and more work over the life of the pack than any other 12V battery on the market, the 6.0 Ah battery is a leap in lithium-ion technology that completely changes the expectations of what cordless 12V tools are capable of.

“Our relentless passion to challenge conventional wisdom by introducing more portable versions of larger tools, and developing more efficient cordless versions of traditional hand tools, has made our M12^™ system the largest and most innovative sub-compact system in the world,” said Sendi Spoljaric, Sr. product manager for Milwaukee Tools. “Never settling, with the launch of the new M12^™ REDLITHIUM-ION^™ Compact 3.0 Ah and Extended Capacity 6.0 Ah batteries we’ll continue our leadership in this system by being the first to develop the technology to bring Compact 3.0 Ah and 6.0 Ah to a 12V system – making the top-performing M12^™ system even more powerful than before.”

The M12^™ REDLITHIUM-ION^™ 3.0 & 6.0 Ah battery packs feature superior pack construction, electronics and performance to deliver more work per charge and more work over the life of the pack than any battery on the market. With Milwaukee^® durability built into each pack, these batteries run cooler and perform in climates below -20°C. Managed by Milwaukee^®'s exclusive REDLINK^™ Intelligence, the batteries feature overload protection to prevent you from damaging your cordless power tools in heavy-duty situations, while the discharge protection prevents cell damage. The temperature management system and individual cell monitoring help maximise battery life. 

The new M12^™ REDLITHIUM-ION^™ Compact 3.0 Ah battery is ideal for any high frequency products where users want to maintain their lightweight and compact size, but also experience an instant increase in their run time – including use in light drilling and fastening applications, press tools, personal lighting, as well as heated gear and radios. When upgrading to the Compact    3.0 Ah, users will receive double the run time of the system standard M12^™ 1.5 Ah battery pack.

The M12^™ REDLITHIUM-ION^™ Extended Capacity 6.0 Ah will allow M12^™ users to tackle more aggressive applications and outperform many 18V products, as well as tools and solutions that need an extensive amount of sustained run time to power through a full day, such as lighting.

Upgrade to the M12^™ REDLITHIUM-ION^™ Compact 3.0 Ah or Extended Capacity 6.0 Ah battery pack to instantly increase the run time and performance of your Milwaukee^® M12^™ cordless tools.

Meanwhile the M12^™ REDLITHIUM-ION^™ Compact 3.0 Ah battery pack will be sold as an accessory and NRG kit to the M12^™ system, to custom build own M12^™ kits, the Extended Capacity 6.0 Ah battery pack is available in select M12 FUEL^™ kits as well. Both batteries have full system compatibility with all M12^™ cordless solutions.
