For the M12 lineup, you've got 6 choices in batteries. Most of the kits come with either XC4.0 or CP2.0 and even sometimes CP1.5. These are one step up from the CP3.0 batteries so if you're looking for a little bit more run time you'd pick some of these up.
The CP series, as the name implies, is a compact M12 battery and the one you'll find in a lot of the M12 kits. It's a great battery overall and provides plenty of capacity and run time for most of the M12 tools. I have one for all of my M12 tools in my cabinet.

I love the m12 line. The XC 6ah not only last longer than the CP 2 or 3ah but produce a considerable amount of power increase
It would be nice to see Matt’s thoughts on the 2022 High Output CP 2.5 m12 and the High Output XC 5.0 m12
Yes you definitely get more torque or power for that matter with a bigger battery.
I have purchased 4 of the 6Ah batteries and everyone of them have failed within 12 months and after getting them replaced they have failed again. The 4Ah batteries i've got have just lasted and lasted so i'll only every buy the 4Ah's.
really interested i getting in to m12 range but they are missing a few key tools. e.g. random orbital sander
I tried zipping off over-torqued lugs with the Stubby 3/8 impact. I was testing it out and I had a CP3.0 and an XC4.0. I found there were some that I couldn't get with the CP, but could with the XC.
From my experience yes you get more power from the 4 or 6 . I got a 4n1 installation tool comes with 2 put a 4 or 6 on it a lot more power . Take your pick saws ,driver’s ,drill’s impact wrench what ever . Y’all notice the difference some tools more than others
There is a discernible difference in rpm for my m12 mini polisher as well as my 1/4” hex fuel impact. I couldn’t tell the difference in performance with the og compact battery vs the 3.0 compact.
Very interesting how cp3.0 is I guess you can say better then the xc3.0 and the 4.0. I would of thought differently only because it looks bigger then the cp3.0 which looks exactly like the 1.5 and 2.0. I’m only using the 1.5 and wanted to get the xc3.0 or the 4.0. Now I got to rethink about this.
Running a 4.0 or 6.0 most certainly has proven to add very noticeable power above the CP line. Reference the torque test chhannel
Agree with you on most everything here, except for putting a XC on a top heavy tool. It may give it better balance, but I never stand them upright on the bigger base. The tool can easily get bumped and damage the surface it was laid upon or the tool itself. The small batteries help avoid this, but there is definitely a place for the XC6.0!
I’ll take a shot at the answer. 18650 is the size but the amperage can vary and it would seem that they like to use either 3 x 600 for the cp 2.0 and 3 x 900 got the cp 3.0.
I have a few Milwaukee M12 tools and I purchased some Chinese non branded 2 ah batteries for a very low price and I am amazed how good they are
Excellent advise. Just picked up m12 battery kit with 6ah and 3ah batteries and charger for $89 at HD (55% off list).
How much MAH are the batteries
3.0 if you want to keep it compact, and 6.0 if you want the most capacity and the ability for tools to stand up. i think milwaukee ditched that led flashlight, i can't find them anymore. *edit - Ha! i typed that before you suggested the same batteries lol.
This video seems outdated given the release of the high output 2.5 and 5.0 batteries.
Run the Stubby using a 2.0Ah vs. 6.0Ah and measure the amount of torque it takes to loosen the nut. If its the same amount of torque, then there is no difference. I seriously doubt thats the case. A higher capacity source should deliver more power/energy (do more work) than a lower capacity source. To answer your other question, not all 18650 cells are created equal. They have different mAh. So original 1.5 used 3 18650 with lower mAh than 3.0. Kind of like AAA vs AA batteries. If you ignore the size difference, both are 1.5v but have different mAh.
So just to be sure, the cp3.0 is better than the xc3.0? Also, two cp1.5 equals to one xc3.0. If that's the case, why even make the xc3.0?
Batterys get significantly cheaper by the amp the larger the battery gets. But do not get the xc3.0 and xc6.0 m12 batterys. They are garbage. Theyr both very likely too stop holding a charge or even stop charging at all. Obviously they have the highoutput batterys which are the best duh theres a few highoutput tools that can make use of the extra power but thats not the real benefit of ho batterys. Yes theyr expensive, but there actrually not anymore expensive then the regular batterys. The 4.0 is about 100 the 5.0ho is about 120 and the 6.0 is about 150....same peice per amp. But per amp ho is actrually cheaper. The 5.0 runs longer then the higher 6.0 because its more efficient. Less wasted electricity. As of 2023 theres no reason too buy anything outside of kits thats not a highoutput batterys
