Aug. 25, 2022
The company is upgrading the entire M12 line with new M12 Redlithium High Output batteries, delivering more power while running substantially cooler.

Milwaukee Tool announced it will be upgrading their entire M12 system with its new M12 Redlithium High Output CP2.5 and XC5.0 battery packs. 

According to the company, these new batteries are said to deliver 25 percent more power on high-demand tools while running substantially 25 percent cooler through heavy applications, allowing users to push the capabilities of their tools and maximize productivity.

“In 2018, Milwaukee introduced M18 Redlithium High Output batteries, elevating the performance of the entire M18 platform,” said Zafir Farooque, product manager, Milwaukee Tool.

"With the introduction of High Output to the M12 platform, the batteries are pushing the tool capabilities of existing and future M12 tools. These batteries also provide increased performance while maintaining the same footprint as current M12 Redlithium CP and XC batteries. Delivering fade-free power and running cooler through demanding applications, the batteries allow the professional to push their cordless power tools throughout a wide range of applications.”

Built for heavy duty use, the batteries provide more power and improved thermal technology keeping the packs cool. The improved technology leads to increased run-time and the durability to withstand wear from more demanding M12 applications allowing the professional to be more productive on the job site.

The M12 Redlithium High Output batteries are resistant to oils, solvents, and greases commonly found in transportation maintenance and manufacturing environments.

Also to note, the new battery packs are fully compatible with the entire M12 line.
