Milwaukee M18FB12 18V Forge Battery

This is the biggest and strongest battery in Milwaukee’s M18 range. It’s made for the tools that eat through power, like grinders, saws, breakers and SDS drills, where a smaller battery runs flat or struggles to keep up. Milwaukee say it gives up to 50% more power than their M18 HIGH OUTPUT 12.0Ah, which you’ll notice when the tool is working hard.

Charging is quick too. On the M18 dual bay super charger it gets to 80% in about 35 minutes and full in about 45. That means one battery on the tool and one on the charger is usually enough to keep going through the day. Charging time will vary depending on the model of charger you personally use.

It has active cooling built in (Milwaukee call it COOL-CYCLE), so the pack cools down faster after heavy use and you’re not waiting around for it. The casing is made to handle oil, solvents and grease, which is handy on a busy site or in a workshop. There’s also a fuel gauge on the battery that you can still read in bright sunlight, so you can check the charge before you head off to a job.

It fits every tool in the Milwaukee M18 range. If you already have M18 tools, you can just clip it on.
