Milwaukee M18 5Ah Lithium-Ion High-Output 5Ah Battery, 2-Pack, $130 (was $269)
Why do we like this deal?
It’s safe to say that Walmart has become The destination for Milwaukee tools—yes, even at hardware stores. Why? Well, Walmart has a wide selection of devices in 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 put multi-port chargers, impact drivers, and even Milwaukee’s nice tire inflators on sale, but what users of the Red Tool brand are gravitating towards is this two-pack of M18 batteries, available for more than half the price.
A two-pack of Milwaukee M18 Lithium-Ion High-Output 5Ah batteries are still on sale at Walmart for just $130, which is $139 off the MSRP. They are authentic OEM batteries, part number 48-11-1852, and they are compatible with over 250 Milwaukee tools. If you look at this same set at Home Depot, you’ll see that they are selling for the normal MSRP of $269.

What shoppers need to know
Compared to non-extended capacity batteries, these provide 20% more power and 2.5 times the total runtime. They feature Milwaukee’s RedLink Intelligence that ensures peak performance (no power fade when low) and prevents overload during charging or use.
The battery has a sturdy housing that protects against vibration, impact, and moisture. It also has an integrated thermal management system that reduces heat buildup and an onboard fuel gauge that makes it easy to check the condition of your battery.

what shoppers are saying
It’s easy to be skeptical of buying batteries online—many people are. But if you take a look at the reviews, your mind will be put at ease. These have received nearly 600 five-star ratings from buyers that can confirm their legitimacy.
One reviewer called these batteries a “quality Milwaukee product” and said they “provide more power and capacity than my old batteries.” Overall, they are a “great buy” at a “good price.”
Another shopper wrote, “The batteries are new and they are amazing.” “They last all day and recharge fast,” and they “definitely recommend these” to anyone who needs powering up Milwaukee tools.
The two-pack of Milwaukee M18 Lithium-Ion High-Output 5Ah batteries is something you’ll be happy to have, and even happier after getting it at such a steep discount. Of course, the low price will make it a popular buy, so we’d recommend purchasing them as soon as possible as supplies may not last very long.
