Model number
48-11-1812

The Milwaukee 48-11-1812 M18 REDLITHIUM HIGH OUTPUT HD12.0 Battery is a 12.0Ah heavy-duty pack built for the largest and most power-hungry tools in the M18 system. Milwaukee lists PWR4 output, a fuel gauge, and faster charging than earlier high-capacity generations, making it a major step forward from the older HIGH DEMAND platform. Its HD housing is designed for maximum runtime on large saws, outdoor power equipment, vacuums, and other sustained-load applications. This battery is best for professionals who prioritize maximum runtime and strong sustained output over compact size and lower tool weight.
