FAQs

How long do M12 batteries last?

The runtime of Milwaukee M12 batteries depends on various factors such as the tool being used, the size of the battery, and the intensity of the application. On average, a fully charged M12 battery can last for up to 2 hours of continuous use, although this can vary from tool to tool.

Can M12 batteries perform in extreme temperatures?

Milwaukee M12 batteries are designed to operate in temperatures ranging from 0°F to 130°F (-18°C to 54°C). However, like most Lithium-ion batteries, their performance may be impacted by extreme temperatures. In very cold conditions, the battery may have a reduced capacity and may not perform as well. In very hot conditions, the battery may be at a higher risk of failure or damage.

Can you use M12 batteries interchangeably with all M12 tools?

M12 batteries are designed to be compatible with most M12 tools, but it is always best to check the specific compatibility between the battery and the tool you are using. Some tools may have different voltage requirements, and using the wrong battery could cause compatibility issues or reduce the performance of the tool. 

Additionally, some newer M12 tools may be designed to work with a specific type of M12 battery, such as a high-capacity battery, which would not be interchangeable with other M12 batteries. It is always a good idea to refer to the manufacturer's specifications for the tool and battery to ensure compatibility.
