The is guy is the equivalent of a keyboard with the caps lock permanently stuck on.

This man’s passion for Milwaukee battery usage is nothing less than inspiring.

Vince is so animated that he requires safety glasses while talking. 👀

Electrician here, I made the change from Dewalt to Milwaukee 2 years ago. And the performance and quality has been night and day. Been investing in batteries as of late and the HO batteries are amazing. I do shutdowns pretty often and use my 5.0s for my lights and the HO 3.0s on the cable cable cutters, impact, and drill. 2.0s on the cable strippers and 6.0s on the vac (for longer runtime) its amazing how much more efficient everything is having the right tools. Lol

After watching this, my ears are bleeding but I definitely understand the differences in the M18 battery variants. This was a better use of my 10 minutes than most YouTube videos I watch!

When you pulled out that light I thought Milwaukee came out with an M18 bazooka.

This is what I needed. I am fairly new to the Milwaukee brand and was so confused by all of the battery offerings. Some tools came with the 5.0XC and others came the 8.0 battery. I will keep all this in mind when I am in the market for batteries.

Reason to run XC5.0, because it's the damn battery I have.

i dont even need new batteries but after watching this mans charisma, Im heading to home depot now.

Just found your channel and now I’m 10 videos deep. Can’t get enough of this detailed info that is consumers need!

For the common household or small business this totally makes sense. For us not so much. Milwaukee batteries have a 3 year warranty and tools have a 5 year. They break and I get a replacement way before that 3 or 5 years are up. Not because they are cheap but because they get used all day everyday constantly being used. I’ve been with Milwaukee for years and wouldn’t go any other direction.

You gotta talk about the difference between the XC6.0 and XC8.0 batteries. Same cell count, but different amp output ratings. The 6.0 can put out more amperage at less voltage drop, the 8.0 can deliver longer run-time. The 6.0 is superior for high-load tools like saws

[jdreynolds]

It should be mentioned for people with older tools that the belt clips do not allow for a high output battery pack and you will have to remove the belt clip in order to use the high output pack however call 1-800 sawdust and they will send you the new belt clip for free that will allow for the high output packs

GREAT INFO!! I don't care if the speaker is an absolute MANIAC!! LOL! I am a 'Milwaukee Newby' and I learned a heck of a LOT from his INVALUABLE information!

[menoceno]

As steel construction worker. I have to say there’s still an upside to having 5.0 batteries. Putting a 6.0 makes your tool significantly heavier. Plus it throws off the balance of your tool. (1/4 impact, 1/2 drill specifically) proper balance makes putting in screws in awkward angles way easier. And the the lifetime of a 5.0 is still really good

[walkthroughs]

3.0 and 5.0 for one handed tools, 8.0 for two handed and 12.0 for stationary stuff. I still feel like the 5.0 is versatile and not obsolete. Significantly smaller than the 6.0 and 8.0 while having more runtime than the 3.0

[Juanpinedabrito]

I purchased a 3.0 High output and 2 6.0 high output use them whole days worth of work 8 hours on a constant use and still have battery left by the end of the day. All day running strong.

[JosVanWeesel]

I've never used a Milwaukee M18 battery in my life but this man convinced me I've used them all wrong!
