Milwaukee debuts Six-bay and Dual-bay battery chargers
Milwaukee announced its new M18 Six Bay Daisy Chain Rapid Charger. Optimized for companies operating with multiple crews that utilize a high number of M18 battery packs, this charger delivers versatile power management without the need for costly electrical infrastructure updates. It can charge on a single 15A circuit.
The M18 Six Bay Daisy Chain Rapid Charger offers crews the ability to have a centralized charging hub. By daisy-chaining up to 10 chargers together and switching into overnight charge mode, users can efficiently charge up to 60 M18 battery packs overnight on a single 15A circuit. By eliminating the need to manage limited outlet availability and the concern of electrical infrastructure limitations, this system ensures crews can grab and go with the charger and batteries they need to power their workday.
Switching from overnight mode to daytime mode provides a rapid charge rate, making it ideal for users who need faster battery turn around during the day and allows up to four chargers to be daisy-chained together. With the rapid charge rate and a two-battery simultaneous charge sequence, users experience reduced downtime, ensuring greater productivity and efficiency on the job.
The new charger has an integrated carry handle and built-in cord management to make transitioning between jobsites effortless. It is compatible with Milwaukee Packout accessories to further enhances its functionality, allowing seamless integration with the Packout Modular Storage System.

Dual-bay simultaneous charger
Milwaukee also introduced the M18 Dual Bay Simultaneous Super Charger that it claims delivers up to 6X faster charging. It can charge an M18 RedLithium Forge XC8.0 and Forge HD12.0 battery to 80% in 35 minutes, and a Forge XC6.0 battery by itself to 80% in only 15 minutes. Engineered as Milwaukee’s fastest charger, the Dual Bay Simultaneous Super Charger ensures minimal interruptions by delivering the quickest charge times for all M18 batteries.
The new Super Charger is Cool-Cycle-capable, enabling significantly faster charge times and providing high-speed cooling for similarly capable battery packs. The Cool-Cycle system allows hot batteries to charge faster by immediately starting to cool them once they are paired with the charger. Providing users performing high-demand applications or working in hot climates with the ability to get back to work faster and increase performance when doing back-to-back work. Additionally, the charger features Charge Adapt Adaptive Charge Distribution which intelligently optimizes power delivery to charge up to two batteries simultaneously for maximum efficiency. To further enhance performance, this charger features RedLink Intelligence, which seamlessly communicates with batteries to monitor cell voltage, temperature, and charge status.
