Detailed overview: Milwaukee M18 B5 18V 5.0Ah battery
The Milwaukee M18 Red Lithium 5.0Ah battery (reference M18 B5) is the genuine 18V battery of Milwaukee's famous M18 cordless platform. It powers the entire range of tools, from drill-drivers to rotary hammers, grinders, circular saws, blowers and site tools, with a single interchangeable battery.
Its 5 Ah capacity gives it comfortable runtime, suited to intensive use and the most demanding tools. It relies on Milwaukee's own Red Lithium-Ion technology, which delivers more torque, higher runtime and better lifespan than a standard lithium cell. Its build is designed to withstand site conditions (impacts, vibration, low temperatures), with electronic management protecting against overcharge, overheating and deep discharge.
A built-in LED charge gauge lets you check the remaining energy level at a glance, handy for anticipating recharges on a job site. Fully backward-compatible, it works with all Milwaukee M18 tools and chargers, making it an ideal spare or extra battery for anyone already on the platform.
Like any lithium tool battery, it recharges on a suitable M18 charger and recycles at end of life through the appropriate channels. Reliable and powerful, the Milwaukee M18 Red Lithium 5.0Ah is the genuine battery to choose to get the best from your M18 cordless tools.

Frequently asked questions: Milwaukee M18 B5 18V 5.0Ah battery
Yes, the M18 platform shares the same mount across the whole range, Fuel models included. M12 tools have a smaller mounting and a 12V rating, so they will not take it. A 5.0 Ah pack mainly brings runtime and better sustained power on demanding tools.
It shows the state of charge at a glance, without going through the tool or the charger: press the button, four lights mean a full pack. It is also a useful health indicator: if the gauge shows four LEDs at rest but collapses as soon as the tool works hard, the cells no longer hold their charge under current and the pack is nearing the end of its life.
