Milwaukee Batteries and Chargers
Milwaukee provides three main battery types: CP, XC, and HD. Each battery type fits the needs of a different trade. CP (Compact) batteries are the lightest and most compact of the options, made for jobs that require maneuverability. XC (Extended Capacity) is the happy medium of batteries, providing professionals with a balance of size, weight, power output, and runtime, making them an adaptable choice for a variety of applications and tools. HD (High Demand) batteries offer the maximum amount of runtime and power available. This battery is optimal for longer jobs with higher-powered tools.
Additionally, Milwaukee ensures that the batteries and chargers can handle the toughest jobsites by meeting rigorous quality standards and undergoing thorough design, development, and testing processes aimed at professional-grade, heavy-duty applications. Milwaukee guarantees that these batteries can dependably perform under pressure by providing multiple-bay rapid and superchargers with adaptive charge distribution, which is a system that adapts itself to charge multiple batteries at once to increase productivity by minimizing downtime.
