What fits Milwaukee M18 / M18 FUEL?

Every M18 battery fits every M18 and M18 FUEL tool — the platform has stayed backward compatible since 2011. High Output and FORGE packs deliver more current for high-draw tools like grinders and table saws, but they also drop into a basic drill.

Voltage
18V
Chemistry
Lithium-ion REDLITHIUM, High Output, and FORGE tabless cells.

Common tools: M18 FUEL hammer drill, M18 FUEL circular saw, M18 angle grinders, M18 SAWZALL

Cross-fit adapters — read the warnings first

Adapters let one platform's battery run another platform's tools. They are unsupported by the manufacturers, can void warranties, and carry real safety risk. We have not tested them. A genuine same-platform battery is always the safer default.

Cross-compatibility notes

M18 batteries do not fit M12 tools and vice versa. Milwaukee makes no official adapter to other brands; third-party cross-brand adapters exist but are unsupported and carry real safety risk.
