Milwaukee M18 5Ah Lithium-Ion High-Output 5Ah Battery, 2-Pack, $129 (was $269)
Why We Love This Deal
It's safe to say that Walmart has become the destination for Milwaukee tools—yes, even over the hardware stores. Why? Well, Walmart has a wide selection of tools from both the M18 series and the more compact M12 series, and you can often find them on sale (if you look at the right time). Recently, the retailer has featured multi-port chargers, impact drivers, and even the nice-to-have tire inflator from Milwaukee on sale, but what the red tool brand's users are flocking toward is this two-pack of M18 batteries that's just over half off.
The two-pack of Milwaukee M18 Lithium-Ion High-Output 5Ah Batteries is selling for only $129 at Walmart, which is $140 off the MSRP. They’re authentic OEM batteries, part number 48-11-1852, and they're compatible with over 250 Milwaukee tools. If you look at this same set at The Home Depot, you'll see that they're selling at the normal MSRP of $269.

What Shoppers Should Know
Compared to the non-extended capacity batteries, these offer 20% more power and 2.5 times the total runtime. They feature Milwaukee’s Redlink intelligence that ensures peak performance (no power fading when they get low) and prevents overload while charging or in use.
The battery has a rugged housing that protects against vibration, impact, and moisture. There’s also an integrated thermal management system that minimizes heat buildup and an onboard fuel gauge that makes it easy to check your battery’s status.

What Shoppers Are Saying
It's easy to be skeptical of buying batteries online—many are. But if you take a look at the reviews, your mind should be put at ease. These have earned nearly 600 five-star ratings from shoppers who can vouch for their legitimacy.
One reviewer called these batteries a “quality Milwaukee product” and added that they offer “more power and capacity than my older batteries.” Overall, they’re a “great purchase” at a “great price.”
“The batteries are new, and they are awesome,” another shopper wrote. “They run all day and recharge quickly,” and they “definitely recommend these” to anyone who needs to power Milwaukee tools.
A two-pack of Milwaukee M18 Lithium-Ion High-Output 5Ah Batteries is the kind of thing you’ll be happy to have and even happier to have snagged at such a steep discount. Of course, the low price will make this a popular buy, so we’d recommend grabbing them ASAP as supplies may not last very long.
