Using in my heated jacket the 1.0 lasted only like 20 minutes on high the 2.0 about an hour and these 3.0 go for at least 3 hours big improvement over the original 1.0 batterys. My radio would go 7 hours on 2.0 battery but now with the 3.0, 16 hours later it was only down 1 bar. Got the 2 for 1 deal at homedepot.com. for 70$ free ship. Jacket seems to get warmer now too.

Great addition to anyone’s tool box..I was hoping for a bit more torque (I’m an auto tech) however where this falls short I have other reinforcements.

Much better than the m18 so far. They hold charge 2 times longer

nice not having to change out the typical 2ah batteries twice as frequently compared to the 4ah units. never hurts having more bags. I like to use them for less used tools to make easy to grab “kits” for when they are needed

The outer case keeps breaking and I can’t find a replacement that isn’t a offbramd knock off

Bought the M12 red lithium for my Milwaukee heated jacket… To my dismay, I had both batteries on the charger for a day a piece only to have to work outside in 8 degree weather (-8 degrees with windchill) to find my batteries weren’t charged. I thought we’ll my truck has a an outlet so I will throw it back on the charger, only to see the led indicator flashing green and red. Haven’t had these very long and they have been stored indoors in a heated garage. Very frustrating and cold lesson to learn… unfortunate and not expected from a Milwaukee brand item.

Does charge anymore. Have only had this m12 battery for a couple months. Now it just flashes. I thought milwaukee batteries were awesome? Maybe the m18s are but not the m12s

It charged the first time (or i think it did), then after that i get the red/green blink and won’t charge.
None of my other M12 batteries have that problem. I’m going to imagine it’s a M12 XC6.0 problem.
To top it off, the XC6.0 burned up one of my chargers. I put the battery on the charger, i got the infamous Red/green/red flash and the charger died. I tried the XC6.0 battery on another charger and the same red/green flash, then a solid red/green. I pulled the battery.
