More Power for Your M18™ Tools: Milwaukee’s HIGH OUTPUT™ XC5™ Battery

Already using Milwaukee M18™ tools but looking for more power? The M18™ REDLITHIUM™ HIGH OUTPUT™ XC5™ Battery Pack delivers 50% more power than the REDLITHIUM™ XC5.0 while working with the M18™ tools and chargers you already own. It’s a simple way to get more from your Milwaukee setup without switching systems.

Built for Everyday Jobsite Use

Milwaukee’s M18™ series offers over 300 heavy-duty 18-volt cordless power tools designed for professional contractors and serious DIYers. The new HIGH OUTPUT™ XC5™ Battery Pack is compatible with all M18™ tools, allowing you to get more power to the tools you already use on the jobsite.

REDLINK™ Intelligence

The battery communicates with the tool and charger to optimize performance and help prevent overheating. That protection is useful when you’re putting your M18™ tools through demanding work.

Battery Fuel Gauge

A gauge shows how much charge remains and is readable in direct sunlight. Check it before starting a task so you can swap batteries when needed.

Need to charge your battery?

The M18™ HIGH OUTPUT™ XC5™ takes an estimated 39 minutes with a Super Charger, 60 minutes with a Rapid Charger, or 105 minutes with a standard charger. Actual charging times may vary.

Rubber Overmold

The protective outer layer helps the pack stand up to everyday jobsite wear, making it a useful feature for crews that move tools between work areas.

Working around oils, greases, coolants, or solvents?

Consider upgrading to Milwaukee’s RESISTANT battery, which has an upgraded housing designed to withstand these common shop chemicals.

Water Protection Barrier

The pack is designed to route water away from its electronics. That adds protection when work conditions are damp or unpredictable.

Extreme Cold Weather Performance

The battery is designed to provide power in temperatures below 0°F (-18°C), which matters for crews working outdoors through winter.

Fits M18™ Tools

Use the pack with your existing M18™ tools, so you can upgrade your battery without changing tool systems.

Comparing Milwaukee M18™ Batteries: Where Does the XC5™ Fit?

The graphic shows two things to consider: power for demanding tool use and runtime for how long you can work between charges. PWR Levels 1 and 2 are compact options for shorter tasks. At PWR Level 3, the HIGH OUTPUT™ XC5™ offers a balance of power, runtime, and size for M18™ users who regularly drill, cut, or fasten throughout the workday. PWR Levels 4 and 5 are options when the job calls for even more power or longer runtime. The best fit depends on the tool you use and how long you use it at a time.

The M18™ HIGH OUTPUT™ XC5™ Battery Pack offers a 3-year warranty to provide you with peace of mind that your battery is covered if a qualifying issue arises.
