About Product Overview

This M18 kit covers the two things that stall a job site: dead batteries and slow charging. You get a pair of M18 XC 8Ah lithium-ion battery packs plus a charger, so one pack can run while the other tops off. That kind of capacity matters when you're running high-draw tools all day - saws, grinders, hammer drills - and can't afford to keep stopping to swap in a low pack.

Everything here is built for the M18 platform, so it works across Milwaukee's M18 tool lineup rather than being locked to one tool. Vietnam manufacturing keeps it in line with Milwaukee's standard build quality. Whether you're outfitting a work truck, a remodeling crew, or just tired of running out of juice mid-project, this kit gives you the runtime and backup power to keep moving.

  • Includes two M18 XC 8Ah lithium-ion battery packs and one charger
  • Battery type: Lithium-Ion
  • Compatible with M18 tools
  • Amp hours: 8 per pack
  • Number in package: 2 batteries
  • Country of origin: Vietnam

Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.
