Model number
48-11-1813

The Milwaukee 48-11-1813 M18 REDLITHIUM FORGE HD12.0 Battery is a top-tier 12.0Ah pack built for maximum runtime and peak M18 platform performance. Milwaukee lists PWR5 output, oil resistance, a built-in fuel gauge, and a notably faster 45-minute super charger time than the earlier HIGH OUTPUT HD12.0 battery. It is designed for the most demanding M18 applications, including large saws, vacuums, outdoor power equipment, and continuous-duty professional use. This battery is the premium choice for users who want the latest large-capacity FORGE performance rather than the previous HD12.0 generation.
