Milwaukee® Introduces New M12™ XC High Capacity LITHIUM-ION Battery
Milwaukee Electric Tool Corporation expands its LITHIUM-ION system with the new M12™ XC High Capacity LITHIUM-ION Battery. Improving run-time, power and speed; the new high capacity LITHIUM-ION battery can provide up to 2X the performance in M12™ tools.
“Each tool can benefit from the additional performance the XC battery offers,” says Paul Fry, Director of M12™ for Milwaukee Electric Tool Corporation. “While more demanding tools like the Hackzall® and 3/8” Drill will see obvious benefits in performance, electronic tools such as the M12™ Radio and M-Spector™ will have double the run-time.”
At only 2-1/2” wide and 3-1/2” long, the M12™ XC High Capacity LITHIUM-ION Battery provides a durable and stable base for tools to stand upright. Rubber over-mold was also added for shock absorption and to protect finished surfaces from marring when tools are placed on them.
With the introduction of the new XC high performance LITHIUM-ION battery and plans to grow the M12™ cordless platform in the future, MILWAUKEE® continues to expand its leadership position in the sub-compact category. The M12™ platform will include over 20 tools by the end of 2009 that offer innovative solutions in power, productivity, and portability.
