An upgraded battery and charger kit can make a big difference if you already use Milwaukee cordless tools, especially for bigger projects that demand more power and longer runtime. Smaller batteries are great for keeping drills and impact drivers light, but larger packs make more sense when you’re running saws, grinders, blowers, rotary hammers, high-torque impact wrenches, or other tools that can drain a standard battery quickly. Having a powerful battery ready also helps reduce downtime, which matters whether you’re working on a jobsite, tackling garage projects, doing automotive work, or knocking out heavier DIY jobs around the house.
With this flash deal at Walmart, you can get the Milwaukee M18 RedLithium Forge 8.0Ah Battery and Charger Kit on sale for just $159, a 43% discount off its normal $279 price. The kit includes one M18 RedLithium Forge XC8.0 battery and one M18 and M12 rapid charger. Milwaukee says this 8.0Ah battery delivers the power of its high output HD12.0 battery in a smaller and lighter package, which makes it a strong option for users who want serious performance without jumping all the way to the largest battery packs.
43% OffThe included fast charger is another major part of the value here, since it works with both M18 and M12 batteries and can charge packs up to 40% faster than Milwaukee’s standard chargers. This unit can charge the large 8.0Ah battery to full in 83 minutes, which is great if you’re rotating through tools during a long project. The battery also uses the brand’s RedLink Intelligence to help protect against overloads, while the housing is designed to resist oils, greases, and solvents on tougher jobsites.
This kit makes the most sense for people already invested in Milwaukee’s M18 system, especially since it works with more than 275 M18 tools. It’s probably more battery than you need for occasional light-duty use, but for cutting, grinding, fastening, drilling, and other bigger jobs where runtime and power matter, it’s a serious upgrade at $159.
One buyer said, “My husband has been wanting this battery for a while. It’s heavy-duty and lasts a long time.”
“Amazing battery,” said a second happy shopper. “It’s way stronger than the 5.0Ah battery.”
