Milwaukee Forge Batteries: More Power, Faster Charging

Milwaukee Forge Batteries: More Power, Faster Charging

Milwaukee, the renowned power tool manufacturer, has once again raised the bar with the launch of its latest Forge battery line, featuring the new 8.0 Ah and 12.0 Ah models. These innovative batteries are designed to deliver higher performance while charging faster than ever before, thanks to their Cool-Cycle active cooling technology. Power tool users now have access to batteries that not only pack a serious punch but also stay cool during rapid charging, ensuring efficiency on the job site.

Increased Power, Faster Charging

The standout feature of Milwaukee’s Forge 12.0 Ah battery pack is its power. It boasts an impressive 50% increase in power compared to the existing M18 High Output 12.0 Ah model. This added power is ideal for users tackling heavy-duty tasks, ensuring longer-lasting performance without compromising on reliability.

Additionally, the Forge 8.0 Ah battery offers the same power as the High Output 12.0 Ah model but comes in a much smaller and lighter package—20% smaller and 30% lighter to be exact. This makes it easier to handle during extended use while maintaining optimal performance levels.

Both models use the Milwaukee M18 dual bay super-charger, a key component that speeds up charging cycles. The integration of Cool-Cycle technology ensures that the batteries maintain lower temperatures, even during rapid charging, extending battery life and minimising downtime.

What is Cool-Cycle Technology?

The Cool-Cycle active cooling technology is what sets Milwaukee’s new Forge batteries apart. As power tools become more powerful, the demand for efficient, heat-resistant batteries grows. Cool-Cycle uses built-in active cooling to manage temperatures during rapid charging and heavy use, reducing the risk of overheating. This results in:

  • Faster, more efficient charging cycles.
  • Longer battery life, even under demanding conditions.
  • Consistent performance without interruption, making it ideal for professionals who need to rely on their tools every day.

One of the significant improvements with the new Forge batteries is their size and weight. The Forge 8.0 Ah battery is noticeably lighter and more compact, making it easier to carry and use for long periods without fatigue. Despite the reduced size, there’s no compromise on power, making it an excellent choice for users who need maximum efficiency without the added weight.

The Future of Battery Technology

With the launch of the Forge 8.0 Ah and Forge 12.0 Ah batteries, Milwaukee is clearly leading the way in battery technology. The combination of increased power, reduced weight, and faster charging sets a new standard in the industry. Whether you're a contractor, tradesperson, or DIY enthusiast, these batteries are a must-have for anyone looking to improve productivity and reduce downtime.
