Milwaukee® Amps Up Next Generation of Lithium

MILWAUKEE, WI – As the clear industry leader in cordless battery development, Milwaukee continues to demonstrate an unrelenting commitment to innovation as they introduce their 6th generation of Lithium-Ion with REDLITHIUM™ 2.0 and XC4.0 batteries.

Boasting all the benefits of the original REDLITHIUM™ batteries and more, the new 2.0 and XC4.0 batteries provide up to 2X more run-time, 20% more power and over 2X more recharges than standard Lithium-Ion batteries.

With Milwaukee® durability built into each pack, REDLITHIUM™ 2.0 and XC4.0 also deliver best-in-class performance in extreme job-site conditions, operating cooler and performing in climates below 0°F/-18°C with fade free power.

Available this winter for both M12™ and M18™, the new batteries are incremental purchase options and completely compatible with all M12™ and M18™ products on the market. Users are able to instantly upgrade the run-time and durability of the M12™ and M18™ tools they already own, simply by switching to the REDLITHIUM™ 2.0 or XC4.0 battery packs.
