Testing The Brand New M18 Milwaukee Forge Battery. Is It Any Good.....?

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

I tested the latest Forge M18 6ah battery against the well established M18 12 amp hour high output battery across 2 very different applications to see how the new technology performs.
I put them to the test using the Milwaukee M18 305mm Chop Saw cutting some big section green oak, and also in the Milwaukee Plunge Saw ripping some MDF board. Two very different applications to really see what the new battery performance is like.

    I'm more impressed by the tracks saw, quickly slicing mdf like it's deli ham for a sandwich.

    Something MANY people don’t know about Milwaukee batteries: Not all M18 batteries have the ability to be Rapid/Supercharged! If you look on the top side of your M18 batteries, The newer ones will have a raised image of a lightning bolt ⚡️… This ⚡️indicates the batteries compatibility with rapid and super chargers… without that ⚡️, it should be charged on an older charger

    @simonbowler1 love all the milwaukee tools as I'm new to the platform, and they are truly a step above all the rest of my tools. I wish I'd of made the switch years ago

    well that didn't make sense .that forge held more run time then the 12ah . used the big weed trimmer .uses two batteries ,i put in a forge and a 12ah .12ah died and the forge had two bars displayed. this means going to be getting more forge batteries .

    12.0s go bad quick they end up dying to fast or not charging fully but it happened to me twice ithink you might have one that drains fast

    £200 for a battery is still sickening though. Impressive performance but still a sickening price

    Thing is the 12.0 is £170 but the 6.0 charges faster and is much more lite and smaller... I was going to buy another 12.0 but now I'll get 6.0 forge.

    I believe Milwaukee uses different labels as well as a different color scheme (especially on pack out boxes) for the European market.

    To not finish the test and recharge your battery in the vacuum is preposterous ,what a waste of time!
