Milwaukee 48-59-1850 M18 RED LITHIUM XC 5.0 Ah Batteries (2) + 48-59-1812 M12 and M18 Multi Voltage Charger kit

Decided to take a shot ordering batteries and a charger online. I had some issues at first getting the batteries to charge. You really have to slam them in and they work fine after that. I guess you just have to abuse the charger a little bit. They’re genuine batteries and they do charge quick!

My friend gave me a Milwaukee tool set, which stopped working for some reason. The 1.5 Ah battery was dead, the charger did not have any lights and would not charge the only battery I had. I opened the battery and carefully charged the cells bypassing the safeties. Still it would not run the tools or charge in the charger. Since I did not know what was wrong with the set I decided to buy this kit, which includes both batteries and a charger. It turns out I made a good decision.As soon as I put the old battery on the new charger it started charging. Right away I took it off the charger and put it on a tool and it worked as well. So the old charger was bad and the original battery needed a good charger for a couple of seconds to reset the safeties. Interesting...Now I have a set of a compact drill, impact wrench, 3 batteries and a charger. Let's talk about the batteries and the charger. They came in the sealed Milwaukee Starter Kit box. Everything looks authentic, but it came from China and all bets are off with this country. I have seen too many counterfeits in my life. For this price it has to be a counterfeit product or a quality reject from the original Chinese factory. We'll never know for sure. But the product looks and feels like the original Milwaukee.I even weighted the batteries and got 716 and 725 grams. One Youtube video says a 5 Ah counterfeited battery weighted 649 g. By the way both batteries came with little charge and 1 light on the fuel gauge, I measured 17.80 and 17.78 V across (+) and (-) terminals. After full charge one new battery measured 20.73 V. The charge took a little over an hour, but the battery still had some initial charge in it. At the end of charge the charger was quite warm.Time will tell if it is a good purchase. I will post un update after awhile. For now this product deserves solid 5 stars, counterfeit or not.

Yes there are cheaper battery and charger combos but they are off brand and work fine. However for what these tools cost it's better to keep it original. Very happy with the charger and batteries work great with my other milwaukee tools

These are the good ones!

Got it and I put the batteries on charge!First battery charged up! Put the second battery on charge and it wouldn’t charge.The charger was telling me that the battery was no good! Messaged Amazon and they sent me a new setWas just asking for a new battery and not the complete set but that’s OK

Ordered these brand new, and they work great. First time charging is a pain though. You need to press really hard on the charger to seat the batteries (I thought the charger was going to break).

Work as they should, tons of power, easy to charge, easy to use, very durable.

Batteries would not charge.. both were bad sent them back with the charger
