Milwaukee M12 battery clones on ebay

[joe_pinehill1]

Has anyone tried the M12 knock off batteries on ebay?

 

[bcradio]

No and i would not either

 

[ocloc24]

Yes I have. Only had them for a few weeks but so far nearly identical runtime and power to my XC 4.0s. They probably won't last but my opinion is for $30 for 2 4.0s, even if they only last a year, I'd still buy them

at 2 for $17, its worth trying. As long as they dont catch fire.

4.0 for $16.62 shipped, taking offers, so maybe $15?

Oh the compacts are 2 for $17? Why not get the XCs for 2 for $25?

it is my impression that the M12's are "just batteries", while the M18's have circuitry inside. while i would be willing to try M12 off brand batteries (if i wasn't floating in really M12's), i would not try the M18 clones, since i bet damage to the electronics in the tool caused by off brand batteries would not be covered.

i know this isn't exactly the question, but i thought it worth mentioning.

I plan on trying a few this winter, with the wear and tear our batteries get, it's worth a shot.

I bought a 3.0 a few years ago, still works fine and has samsung cells in it. Not saying they all do though.

I just bought the eBay batteries I listed for $17 shipped for a 2 pack. They are the same brand listed on Amazon for $33, with 200 reviews and a 5 star rating.

Here's the Amazon listing -

The ebay listing shows 2 batteries in the pic, but the description only states one battery and one pair of gloves. Little bit of false advertising I think.

I bought one of the compact batteries a year or so back from eBay. It wouldn't charge in my Milwaukee charger. That was the last time I tried the off brand.

If it worked, why did you quit using it?

 

[aspireguy95]

I've been using an eBay 4.0 for about 6 months. So far no problems and the charge last a long time . Think I paid $18 for it

I'm sorry sir. It did not charge. That's what happens when my caveman fingers attempt to type on my phone.

The no-name batteries are the primary reason I went with Milwaukee M12 tools. Being the lightweight 12V system the tools are convenient, and I have yet to burn through all four batteries I own in one project.

The batteries I bought are these, for no particular reason beyond the reviews:

I just got one of these, although this IS OE seems to be the cheapest I have found for the m12 6.0?

I just ordered one of these as well, but it isn't a clone it's the real deal. Not too bad of a price

 

[thatguysb]

i ordered something from that same seller.
a m12 non fuel 3/8 brushed drill. The drill works perfect but the chuck has a bit of side wander. a couple thou well.
