Moze Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 Are these two batteries interchangeable? I basically want to know if the smaller battery (the one without the base) will fit in the Milwukee 12v rotary hammer. All of the photos show it with the larger battery. Not sure if that's just so it will stand up on its own or if that specific battery has to be used... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Yes, they are interchangeable. Certain M18 tools will only accept XC batteries, for example, you cannot put a compact pack on the Sawzall. I don't believe the M12 line has that restriction though.

DR99 Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Yea the only reason I think they show it with the XC packs is they know that the run time is pretty short with the compact packs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punda1991 Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 My slimpack fits on my sawzall but it's the fuel but he's right they are interchangeable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javier Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 I wonder if theres any drop in performance if you use a smaller capacity battery? I don't have any xc packs but theres a very noticeable difference between lithium ion and red lithium packs on my m12 jigsaw. I'm not sure if theres a difference between redlithium compact and xc packs. On certain m18 tools theres a gain in using xc packs in performance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicholasShetley Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 I know there is on the dewalt 20v line. The big impact was a good bit slower with the compact 1.5 ah battery vs the 4.0. It is probably similar with milwaukee on high amp draw tools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is probably similar with milwaukee on high amp draw tools.Havent noticed any difference in my 20v tools in power with the 1.5, 2.0, 3.0, or 4.0 batteries. I have 2 1.5 batteries, 4 2.0, 3 3.0, and 4 4.0 and always swamp them around never noticed any power difference in any tool. I have the brushed impact driver, both brushless model impact drivers, dcd 985 hammerdrill, dcd 995 hammerdrill, reciprocating saw, skil saw, oscillating tool, nailer, rotary hammer, etc. and dont notice a difference in any of them power wise obvious difference in run time.

NicholasShetley Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 It was enough I could tell it was slower. I have noticed more power with the compact drill with the 4.0 vs the 1.5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 Somewhere in the review section I did a comparison test between the Red's and the previous gen packs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
