Nice brother. Just killed my top off with 2 years of daily use on the job site. Milwaukee said send it back and they'll send me another. That's customer service.
@@shanersmechaniclife3164 I plan on using mine for my Dremel more too, can't stand how big the cordless dremels are and I don't mind the cord connection to the battery for the use I need.
You could just use your Milwaukee battery to jump start your car without having to use a car charger. I've done it in an emergency and it works fine. You could actually disconnect your car battery and hook up your Milwaukee battery the 5.0 and that's enough to start a 4-cylinder car directly
If you watched the video, he explains that there's situations (waiting on an alternator or serpentine belt) that'd you'd want to pre-charge your battery so the alternator isn't doing all the work.
The only thing that could have made this test better is if you had a Kill-a-watt or other current measuring device hooked up to the top off. When your charger sat at 95%, I wonder if it was really putting out 10amps, or if it was slow charging the remainder.
That's a good point. I noticed these chargers do that all the time. I will try measuring the output and let you know. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Is someone can explain ?. At 50 sec..we see the Inverter capacity that show that a 12ah (12000 mah) battery can charge 12x a phone . In realty a Phone has at least a 3000 mah battery then it can charge only 4x max In my opinion .
You have to take into account voltage...18v @12ah = 216watt hours...cell phone is 3.7v @ 3ah or 12 watt hours... 216/12 = 18 with losses...12 recharges is realistic
Would love to see a video testing the ability of charging a 12v car battery directly from a Milwaukee battery. A batteries charging voltage is always higher than the rated voltage of the battery. Much like water flowing from high pressure to low. With lead acid being very forgiving i don't see any issues with this as far as I understand.

What else have you used it for other than the usual phone and battery charging? Great that Milwaukee stands behind their product like that.

Need to try it, thank you for this.

Awesome. Thinking of having this as a back up to charge a marine battery for a min kota
I think it's a great back up. Especially if you don't have access to power.
Can handle up to 10 Amps? I want to run an XPOWER electric air duster off of it: 18 V DC, 175 W so around 9.7 Amps.
will electric inflator can run on this? its a 200watts
Hmmm. I'll try to get my hands on one and try it.
Out of curiosity, do you know if this will charge the battery if plugged into the car? I know the M12 version will but not sure if this one will
I haven't tried but my guess is no. It runs off a 18volt battery and cars are a 12volt system. If it does let me know. Thanks for watching.

They probably used a phone with a smaller battery capacity. I'll see if I can find more detailed specs.

@@creightonjoebrown Good point, thank you for your answer..It makes sense.
Perfect for power outage.
Very handy , nice video
Thanks for the comment. I wonder what else it will run?
@@shanersmechaniclife3164 I use the air compressor with two other air tanks in the back of my van , works great
Great job 👏 👍

Losing about 50% of your power in conversions
Good point but it's much easier than rolling out a 100ft extension cord or pulling the battery on some models.
that good charge laptop phone but need charger to charge battery i said make own do much better with inverter and battery
wich i am doing
You are right. I wanted to see what this unit was capable of, if that was all you had to work with. Thanks for watching and commenting.
