MILWAUKEE, Wis. — As the clear leader in cordless power tool battery development, Milwaukee continues to deliver ground-breaking advancements to the industry. With the introduction of the new M18™ REDLITHIUM™ XC5.0 Extended Capacity Battery Pack in November 2014, Milwaukee will deliver up to 2.5X more run-time, 20% more power and 2X more life than standard lithium-ion batteries.
“It is not enough to increase Amp Hours and put a higher number on the side of the pack,” says Paul Fry, vice president of Product Marketing for Milwaukee Tool. “While Amp Hours is one piece of the equation, this battery is a ground up redesign that delivers the best combination of cell selection, pack construction and electronics to deliver maximum performance, durability and run-time. As we continue to push the limits and bridge the gap between cordless and corded tools with game-changing new products, we will also continue to advance our battery pack development to keep up with the increased demands of the tools.”
