They DO NOT work in Impacts in the cold/ BOGS DOWN

At first I thought I hit the jackpot saving some $ with these. But Vs. the real Deal when I use in 12volt small impact gun driving a 10x1 into WOOD IT BOGGS DOWN and STOPS POUNDING. I then switched out this knock off Waitley brand to the real Milwaukee 12 volt 1.5 amp battery and The problem was gone. Got screwed out of the return of course. Maybe Ill use them in the heated jacket and pray they don't catch me on fire! Because they sure DO NOT work well in 28 degree weather in Pittsburgh, and…

Pros
  • Arrived early, fit, charge, run my drills. Still on the first charge so no idea if they will last.
Cons
  • One battery so far has connectivity problems

It works with the heated jacket

It woked well with my heated jacket after i filed down the locking mechanism. You ses it locked in place so it had to be pried apart unless I filed the clasp down a little.

Pros
  • Driller/driver and cutter
Cons
  • They work but have NO POWER! They are useless to us.

These are not the WH or AH they are rated for

They lie about the watt hour rating, these are at best 2ah batteries, and probably not even that. Lasts about as long as a genuine m12 1.5ah battery.

Pros
  • Great price work like the name brand
Cons
  • Could potentially cause issues with the function and performance of your Milwaukee tool

Poor fit for Milwaukie M-12 drill

Battery requires force to insert in drill. Requires even more force to get it removed. Had to use pliers. I realize these are knock off batteries but this is by far the poorest fitting ones. Would not recommend.

Pros
  • Got these for my m12 oscillating tool. Shut down with any heavy load. Pretty annoying.
Cons
  • May not be able to hold a charge as long as the original Milwaukee battery

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good as Milwaukee batteries

I use these batteries for my heated Milwaukee coat. Performs just a good as the Milwaukee batteries. Great value! Great product.

Pros
  • Great product
Cons
  • May not hold a charge as reliably as the original Milwaukee battery

good battery, bad fit

battery was great value for money , hold,s charge no over heating . bad fit will not lock in place , locking tabs misslock notch . have to push back together for battery to make contact . hope this dosn,t cause a problem with tool .Gave it 2 stars for fit problems .

Pros
  • These batteries seem to be just as good as the originals, plenty of power and hold a good charge
Cons
  • May not be compatible with all Milwaukee M12 tools

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great power, lasts a long time

Took a chance on these non-OEM batteries and I have been impressed. Drove over 100 2-3/4" screws on one charge, which included drilling about 20 pilot holes. Only time will tell if they continue to perform as well.

Pros
  • Holds up good
Cons
  • May not be able to withstand the wear and tear of regular use

Lock clips don't engage tool!

Does NOT positively lock into tool! Not even usable on my oscillating multi-tool. Battery pops out after 20 seconds of use. It's kind of usable in my right angle drill and 3/8" ratchet, you just have to constantly check to make sure battery stays seated.I'll stick the OE Milwaukee packs from now on.Update 12/09/21: checking voltage after a full charge, I found both batteries will only charge to 11.7 volts! Now I'm glad they couldn't be used in the tool. I only use these batteries for a 12V led…

Pros
  • Fits perfectly. Charges normally. Needed it for my vacuum in the RV.
Cons
  • Likely not to have the same level of quality control as Milwaukee brand products

Revainrating 5 out of 5

great value: my feedback

love the price, 1/3 of OEM price. these batteries have the same features as OEM. (protection of unit). These fit like a glove in the charger and multi-tool. life of battery ? just received = hopefully as good.

Pros
  • They broke after a few times removed from tool.
Cons
  • Could potentially cause damage to your Milwaukee tools

They do work great.

I've had 2 of these for a little over a month now. They have been great at holding charge and working my older m12 Milwaukee 1/4" hex impact driver and a new m12 fuel haxsaw saw-zaw. Worked many of 12 hour days with only needing to charge once a day or every other day. However I have recently bought a new 2504-20 m12 fuel hammer drill and boy it will drain them down in half a day depending on if it's a new top I'm starting or just how much plumbing actually needs installed in the model home I'm

Pros
  • They are worth the money Good batteries
Cons
  • Not an official Milwaukee brand product

fit's my hackzall with a little modification

I had to file the back of the case to get it to fit my Milwaukee Hackzall but other than that it charged up and worked great. Can't beat the price.

Pros
  • GreAt so far
Cons
  • May not have the same level of safety features as the original Milwaukee battery

A little oversized on my review.

I received these in a box that was larger than needed. They work as they should, BUT do fit a bit tight in my drill. This makes it difficult to insert and remove, but nothing major.

Pros
  • Great Capacity, awesome price, high quality
Cons
  • May not be able to withstand extreme temperatures or conditions

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Work great on my review.

Was not to sure about using an off brand, but i use these in my heated jacket and they work just as long and hold a good charge.

Pros
  • Fits my milwaukee heated vest and the battery seams to last longer
Cons
  • These charge and work as expected.

Revainrating 5 out of 5

excellent quality and value!

Batteries worked perfectly in my tools, i bought two , two packs, and even up graded to 3ah batteries from 2.5ah, they work great with lots of power. I got four batteries for the price of one Milwaukee battery, can work all day with no charging time.

Pros
  • So far so good
Cons
  • Could potentially be prone to overheating or other issues during use

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Get your moneys worth!

They work great. Charge quickly, and have great power. After months of use they still charge and are strong, but i can tell that they do not last as long as the used to. Cant beat it for the price!

Pros
  • It holds a charge well and powers my tools.
Cons
  • Could potentially cause damage to your Milwaukee tools if not installed correctly

Great Batteries good for me

Run this band of aftermarket batteries in Multiple tools and sizes.Thru our whole construction company for yrs .No issues

Pros
  • Batteries charging and working great for me
Cons
  • Could potentially cause your Milwaukee tool to malfunction or break down

Just got them in Dec 2020. Works fine. They are a bit tight to get into the charger. But I ran a test and they lasted about the same as the original Milwaukee tool batteries. We'll see how many discharges they can go through.

Pros
  • Perfect replacement for original specked batteries
Cons
  • Could potentially take longer to charge than the original Milwaukee battery

Great price best in my review

Battery fits pretty good a little tight but nothing to complain about they work great! Will definitely order most when it comes time the customer service is outstanding! Had a small problem and they took care of it immediately! Highly recommend!

Pros
  • We will see how long they last
Cons
  • Could potentially cause compatibility issues with other M12 system components

Great for the price

They charge and work great. Although I dont think they are actually 2.5amp hrs though. They die just about as fast as my oem 1.5 and 2.0 batterys. They have the model number for the oem 1.5 battery on them. Still great for the price

Pros
  • Good buy
Cons
  • May not be as durable as the original Milwaukee battery

CAPACITY: Tested several OEM (1.5, 2, 4 AH) and Waitley (2 @3AH and 1 @6AH) on a M12 light that said should get 120 minutes run time per AH and the light will blink imminent empty. OEM batteries averaged 116 minutes fairly consistent. Waitley averaged 93 minutes fairly consistent. So did some math and a Waitley "3.0 AH" has the runtime of a Milwaukee 2.5 AH. The Waitley "6AH" is equivalent to a Milwaukee 4.8 AH. So not the rated capacities, but much better AH-per-$ than I thought. Satisfied for

Pros
  • Great products
Cons
  • Could potentially void the warranty on your Milwaukee tools
