Milwaukee Supercharger: The 4x Faster Solution for M18 Battery Charging

Posted on September 10, 2023 by Philbert Jackson

Discover the Milwaukee Supercharger and its Advancements in Battery Charging

The Milwaukee Supercharger is a groundbreaking innovation that combines cutting-edge battery and charger technology. With its ability to charge both M12 and M18 batteries, this game-changing device offers an impressive 4x faster charging speed.

Supercharging Made Easy: Faster Charging Times than Ever Before

The Milwaukee Supercharger boasts incredibly fast charging capabilities. The 8.0 Ah high output battery can complete a full charging cycle in just 45 minutes, while the 12.0 Ah high output battery pack takes only 1 hour.

These charging times are a significant improvement when compared to the Rapid Charger and even surpass the standard charger. Let’s take a closer look at the differences:

HD12.0 High Output Battery

  • Standard charger: 241 minutes
  • Fast charger: 130 minutes
  • Supercharger: 60 minutes

XC8.0 High Output Battery – New! 48-11-1880 ($199 per person)

  • Standard charger: 153 minutes
  • Fast charger: 83 minutes
  • Supercharger: 45 minutes

XC6.0 High Output Battery

  • Standard charger: 119 minutes
  • Fast charger: 64 minutes
  • Supercharger: 35 minutes

Batteries, Chargers, and Charging Schedules

Take a look at this table showcasing various batteries, chargers, and their corresponding charging times:

Standard charger Fast charger Supercharger
**HD12.0*** 241 minutes 130 minutes 60 minutes
**XC8.0*** 153 minutes 83 minutes 45 minutes
**XC6.0*** 119 minutes 64 minutes 35 minutes
**CP3.0*** 65 minutes 35 minutes 35 minutes
HD9.0 184 minutes 103 minutes 103 minutes
XC5.0 105 minutes 60 minutes 60 minutes

Enhancing Battery Performance: How Milwaukee Does It

To ensure that Milwaukee’s high-output batteries deliver exceptional power, three critical factors come into play: 21700 Li-ion cells, electronics upgrades, and battery pack construction advancements.

The Milwaukee Super Charger’s development was driven by the fusion of battery and charger technology. Batteries without a high output upgrade cannot handle the super-fast charge rates and revert to standard fast charge times.

It is worth noting that the 3.0 Ah high output battery pack charges at fast charger speeds, despite being a high-output pack.

Here’s a breakdown of the charging times for various batteries:

CP3.0 High Output – New! 48-11-1835 ($99 for a single, $149 for a two-pack)

  • Standard charger: 65 minutes
  • Fast charger: 35 minutes
  • Supercharger: 35 minutes

HD9.0 High Demand Battery

  • Standard charger: 184 minutes
  • Fast charger: 103 minutes
  • Supercharger: 103 minutes

XC5.0 Battery

  • Standard charger: 105 minutes
  • Fast charger: 60 minutes
  • Supercharger: 60 minutes

CP2.0 Battery

  • Standard charger: 42 minutes
  • Fast charger: 25 minutes
  • Supercharger: 25 minutes

M12 XC3.0 Battery

  • Standard charger: 55 minutes
  • Fast charger: 46 minutes
  • Supercharger: 46 minutes

M12 CP2.0 Battery

  • Standard charger: 43 minutes
  • Fast charger: 30 minutes
  • Supercharger: 30 minutes

Additional Features

The Milwaukee Supercharger also comes with some handy additional features:

  • Slow blinking green light when the battery reaches 80% charge
  • Convenient hanging hole on the back for easy storage
  • Sequential charging, allowing simultaneous charging of one M18 and one M12 battery

Price and Future Expectations

Currently, the Milwaukee Supercharger is available for separate purchase at $149, accompanied by a 5-year warranty. As the range of tools utilizing High Demand batteries continues to expand, it remains to be seen if the Supercharger will be included in any kits, perhaps as part of a dual battery HD kit.

In the future, we can anticipate the release of a multi-port charger, possibly during NPS 20. Only time will tell.

Deciding whether to invest in a Milwaukee Supercharger depends on the batteries you use. This device is a must-consider option if you’re in the market for a more powerful M18 Fuel tool that requires a high-demand battery. However, if you primarily use M12, 2.0 Ah, and 5.0 Ah battery packs, the Rapid Charger may be a more suitable choice.
