Am I the only one that has noticed this? This is the second time I have seen a post about bigger M18 batteries. I thought my 5.0 batteries that came with my fuel set were huge — Link: http://bit.ly/1OgbLJz
Yeah, I think they have been talking about them for a bit now. I’m not a Milwaukee cordless guy so I’m not sure if they are releasing yet. Some of the other guys will know. They look like some monsters though!

I might be wrong but I think XC, 4.0, 5.0 and 6.0 are all identical externally save for the markings. That photo you posted has a skewed perspective which makes them look a little different. The forthcoming 9.0 has an extra row of cells and will be significantly larger, fine for things like a mitersaw that sits in one place. I read somewhere the 6.0 and 9.0 will be available later this summer…
Can’t wait until DeWalt comes out with some larger capacity batteries.
The XC through 6.0 Ah packs should be the same size for the most part. Milwaukee might have added a little move rubber over mold but nothing that drastic.
Yea the 6.0 looks about the same to me

I think the 6 and 9’s will be great for the bigger lights too
You can also use that giant battery pack to ward off muggers!

Heheh yup they didn’t have that then so they had to improvise

If only they would have had a 9.0 in that backpack!

my XC’s , 4.0’s and 5.0 batteries all seem to be identical and by the looks of the 6.0 it will be coming in the same housing…the 9.0 will be bigger however….
Yea I have all 5.0 battery’s right now. They seem to be plenty big enough and long lasting for me.
The batteries in the OP picture are all the same size…the perspective is skewed. The new 9.0s will be bigger (if they ever get released).
the 6.0 and 9.0 batteries were supposed to be out in stores January 2016 from what i have read and the video’s ….wtf is going on?

The 9.0s were intended to support the new SDS Max rotary hammer. The hammer hasn’t made it out of the gates so that’s why I’m guessing that the 9.0s are still awol.
Here in Norway the SDS Max rotary hammer (with 9.0 ah) have been on the market for a 1 month.
Hopefully its possible to buy only the batteries soon.
“sale” priced for around 10.000 NKR which is about $1220
Yikes! You guys pay a lot for tools

I think its about the double of what the price in the US are for most of the Milwaukee tools, small market over here i guess….
But Milwaukee has started to get more and more popular here, so hopefully that will change.
So that would put it at about 610 USD? If it’s all they claim that’s a pretty fair price.
Why the heck do dither countries get the tools first? It’s weird …since they are a US company

does anyone know what the battery will cost alone or roughly? actually more excited about the 6.0 one! btw @JimboS1ice just wathcing your videos now, Best stuff out there!

I’ve heard 199 to 249 and thanks dude

Wow do you think that price is fair? it seems like roughly $75-$100 plus over the 5.0 battery.
I think & can see myself getting a 6.0 for my drill and driver most likely when I need another battery, but I don’t know about a 9.0 ever

For more portable tools I don’t thing the 9.0 has an advantage over 2 5.0 or 6.0 or maybe even 4.0 for the extra weight. The 9.0 is intended for their more heavy duty needs like a cordless mitersaw, mag drill, your less portable tools, no point in putting a 9.0 on a drill lol. But as we see different tools come out that are replacing corded stationary tools the 9.0 will be useful. Besides I’d rather have 1 9.0 on a Milwaukee tool than 2 5.0 on a Makita saw…
Maybe for that new Milwaukee Fuel 18v miter saw too. But, I can’t see slapping a 9.0 on an impact gun or hammer. They’d probably be great in the flood lights too now that I think on it. Of course, this coming from a guy that owns an M12 charger. And a few Milwaukee tool bags 😉
oh,make my bottle opener. Let us not forget my bottle opener:D
9.0 on my sawzall or circular saw though? Yes please. I can definitely burn through batteries on the sawzall faster than they charge when I’m getting down to business.

I thought someone discussed a possible clearance issue with the 9.0 on a circ saw
Clearance to what? That its length would hit your wrist or something? Only clearance issues in my mind are regarding the M18 vac and fan.

Cleaernece to the work piece but my battery on my 6 1/2″ sits higher

Hopefully that’s not the case, I’m wanting to pick couple of the 9.0 for 7 1/4 saw and the new fuel rotary hammer drill.

Yea it had been awhile since owned a cordless circular saw and got the 7 1/4 right after it came out and have been impressed with just the 4.0 batteries. Wouldn’t haveta worry at all with the bigger batteries. Same with hammer drill.

The 7 1/4 fuel lasts a LOOOONNNGG time on a 5 amp battery, it’ll last even longer on a 6.0 which will be the ideal battery for the saw. While I think there will be enough clearance for the 9 on the saw I’m not sure you need a huge battery on a one handed tool that already will last longer than you will for a day’s work, the only thing the 9 will add is fatigue on your arm for whipping it around cutting stuff. The 9’s will be great for beefier two handed tools or stationary tools like a miter or for lights where you switch them on and leave them be and want max run-time. I do hope it fits in the m18 vac though, I love that thing and use it all the time but it eats batteries like candy. I think the 9’s will fit in there though, the battery compartment is oversized so it can have connectors for both the M18 and the older nicads.
I agree the 5’s or even the 6’s are plenty good for a days work. I’m hoping with the bigger batteries they’ll be able to last more than a day or two and won’t haveta drag the batteries home out of the job trailer every night. I do concrete work so usually the first ones on the job and there’s no power, so everything needs run off generator. So its nice having what we do use be cordless and not haveta drag drop cords and generator out. Don’t haveta use tools whole lot but it depends on the day and just kinda sucks taking all the batteries home every night. Only having few of the 4.0’s and one or two 5.0’s, rest are 3’s or compact, that’s what end up doin if burn through one that day. But depending on weather conditions no battery will probably last that long in the trailer. Also not really concerned about weight since nothing is over head. But we rip down alot of boards for bulkheads and sometimes forms and that drains the smaller batteries.
But maybe that’s all just wishful thinking ha. At end of the day it’s still battery operated. But now that started picking up certain tools the corded stuff is back up.

Excellent point Jimbo. I just checked my saw out and now I’m on the fence as to whether or not it will work. Tough to say.

I’d have to look at mine too depends how much bigger it is, I would assume roughly 1/3 depending on over molding.
Slightly less than a third because the batteries are staggered, which is why it’s longer than the standard XC family.

What I don’t get is why the need for sds max when spline drive are about the same size at the base, and would interchange with corded spline drive hammers

I think it had something to do with different companies when they first came out to compete with spline drive, a while ago a read an article that talked about the differences and SDS competed with Spline. Kind of like when HD DVD battled Blu-Ray… Around by me I don’t see hardly any spline.

Same, no spline drives here. In fact the only place that has bits that big is the case dealership and they are all SDS max Hiltis.
Thats quite interesting. .. there are no sds max bits here, all spline
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk
I think it is mostly due to the fact that Hiltis are all SDS style and even Bosch doesn’t offer spline for the most powerful rotohammers.
Yea that 9.0 battery is gunna be a beast. Pretty soon you will be able to drive your car with one lol

Spline is not te be seen in shops any more here in northern europe. I think its 4 years since a customer asked about it.
Indeed. Spline is dead here 🙂
