This makes us really want to go back and test everything Milwaukee and Dewalt from 3.0Ah to 12.0Ah batteries to see how the two rivals hold up against each other.Īs our test proved, moving towards the High Output batteries is a good idea for tool performance even if the tools are more compact. Of course lights, radios and plenty of other M18 tools won’t see any performance changes outside of runtime, but it’s pretty clear all Milwaukee FUEL tools- old and new- will benefit from using the M18 High Output batteries. ![]() We recommend checking it out if you’re interested in seeing how their different battery ranges compare. Since completing our test we actually saw another video on the Torque Test Channel, where they were testing Dewalt 4.0Ah vs 5.0Ah vs a Fake Knockoff Battery. It is very interesting to see all the other tools even down to the compact stubby perform better based solely on the battery. This tools comes with two 12.0Ah batteries and Milwaukee recommends using High Output batteries with it for best performance. We of course were not very surprised to see the M18 High Output batteries, in this case the 6.0Ah battery, delivering a better performance for the 1” High Torque Impact. ![]() This test uncovered some interesting results when looking at each tools performance using the traditional REDLITHIUM M18 4.0Ah Battery and a High Output 6.0Ah Battery that we thought might be worth sharing.ĭo the new M18 High Output batteries using new 21700 cells actually increase power for M18 tools over traditional M18 Red Lithium batteries with 18650 cells?Īlthough we did not originally intend to compare the two battery ranges during this test, we noticed a pretty significant change in the performance of our tools. The original test was just looking at Milwaukee’s 4 most recent M18 Impact additions: the M18 Stubby ½”, M18 Mid-Torque ½”, M18 High Torque Extended Anvil ½”, and the M18 Tire Gun 1” D-Handle. In the shop we have a M18 REDLITHIUM 4.0Ah battery which is several years old but lives in the climate controlled shop with minimal usage as well as a 6.0Ah High Output battery that is brand new out of the packaging. It was clear right out of the gate the tools performed very differently with these two battery packs, so we ran the full test on all 4 impacts with both batteries to see how each might perform. This made us wonder, do the High Output batteries change the performance of other FUEL tools as well? What about Compact M18 Tools? We recently compared several newer M18 Impact wrenches in various size ranges to test their power output. The High Output battery packs claim to have 50% more peak power and run 50% cooler for sustained use, but that result comes from using them with new tools that are specifically designed to work with the High Output batteries. ![]()
