Every power tool battery works the same way — charge, install, use, repeat — but there are wide variations in capacity, charging speed, durability, and the like. What someone who mainly uses a drill for assembling furniture needs, and someone who’s renovating an entire house needs are very different things, and this deal on a battery and charger kit is definitely for the latter and those with similar heavy-duty aspirations.
The Milwaukee M18 Redlithium Forge Battery-Charger Kit is $169 at Walmart right now, 39% off the $279 it’ll normally run you. That’s a fantastic price for a top-of-the-line battery and charger kit that’s compatible with over 275 different tools.
The battery is part of Milwaukee’s M18 Redlithium Forge line, which has the most power, fastest charging, and longest life of any batteries the brand makes. It’s also the Forge battery with the second-highest capacity, an 8Ah model that puts out power like a 12Ah without the added heft. It can charge from 0 to 100% in just 83 minutes with the included rapid charger (that can also charge lower-spec’ed M12 batteries), has Redlink intelligence to prevent overloads and maximize tool protection, and is ensconced in a durable housing that’s resistant to oils, greases, and solvents.
A Milwaukee M18 Redlithium Forge Battery-Charger Kit is unnecessary for those who use their tools sparingly for light work. For everyone else, this kit is a real game changer, providing more power on fewer, faster charges, a more efficient way to get things done that will save valuable work time and hassle. It’s worth considering at full price, which means it’s definitely worth picking up for $169 before this deal runs out of juice. Add one to your Walmart cart today before the limited-time sale ends.
