About Product Overview

This is the Milwaukee M18 REDLITHIUM 5.0Ah battery, a straightforward power source built for anyone running a fleet of M18 tools on the jobsite or around the shop. REDLITHIUM cells are engineered to deliver more work per charge and hold up under heavy, repeated use, which matters when you're cycling through drills, saws, and other M18 gear all day. At 5 amp hours, it gives you solid runtime before you need to swap packs, and compatibility across the entire M18 lineup means one battery works across your whole kit instead of juggling mismatched packs. Weighing in at 1.72 lbs, it's manageable to carry on a belt or toss in a bag between stops. Whether you're a tradesperson who needs dependable runtime through a full shift or a homeowner who's already invested in M18 tools, this battery slots in as a reliable backup or replacement. It ships in clamshell packaging, one battery per package.

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.

Ask our counter. Or theirs.

Most hardware stores can do more than you think. If we can't help you, the folks down the street probably can — just ask at the counter.

Their Counter
Try local first · we'll wait

The stores we send you to are local and independently run — often for generations, the kind of place where someone behind the counter knows the regulars. We don't own them. We just think they deserve the foot traffic. They can put most of what we sell on their next truck. Ask there before you check out here.

About our directory. National Hardware Group is an independent retailer and directory. The local stores we list and link to are separately owned and operated — we have no ownership stake in any of them, and most pay us nothing to be included. That includes plenty of stores flying a familiar banner that people don't realize are locally owned and run, not operated by a corporation. Store owners can choose to upgrade their listing for an enhanced presence or pickup features, but the base directory is free, and inclusion is never a paid endorsement.
