Quick question… I’m getting ready to buy this saw and I always see it advertised with a 9.0 high demand battery my question is I have about 20 of the 5.0 18 volt as well can those be used on the saw or do I have to buy a 9.0?
M18 is compatible throughout. You can even use the old v18 batteries if you cut 1 tab off the bottom of them. You won’t get the power using the 5.0 but it will still work fine.
I have the saw but have only used the 9 and 12 amps. It clearly says you can use the 5s too but I actually don’t have 5s as my Milwaukee tools are quite limited.
