Milwaukee 9.0 AH batteries

[Robinson1]

A while back Milwaukee announced that they would be producing 9 amp hour batteries. I've been patiently waiting but haven't really heard anything else about them since the initial press release. Any news on these batteries? Approximate cost or info on where to buy?

Its suppose to be in January, surprised they are not out yet. I'm thinking the new 6.0 battery is going to be $125-150 and the 9.0 battery $175-200.

But you better get a new M18/M12 rapid charger or the rapid charge station as the old chargers will probably take forever to charge the 6/9 battery.

I have two of the 5.0 batteries and they are quite large and heavy. What are the specs on these? At what point does it become to large and heavy to be useful.

What would you need a 9 amp battery for? I have the 5 amp batteries and they run forever and have tons of power. Not sure what M18 tool milwaukee makes that would need a 9 amp battery? Also not sure I would want to carry it around for very long.

When they come out I plan to get one for my light, it's the bigger one with the swivel head and 110v plug. It's only supposed to run two hours on high with 5AH.
In the summer I'll probably need a bigger battery for my fan. The wet/dry vacuum really ***** up a battery too, if I used it a lot a 6 or 9 AH would be very nice.
I imagine that the circular saw and grinder would really be better off with a 9AH for heavy use too.

I dont think the 6.0 battery will weigh any more than the 5.0, but the 9.0 has to be close to 50% heavier than the 5.0 as it has 15 cells instead of 10.

I can't recall which tool but I think the 9.0 batteries were developed for a certain tool or two that is high draw, not for little impact drivers and such.

The 9.0 batteries were developed for certain high draw tools like the SDS rotary drill, saws and grinders. Using them for a drill or impact driver is just overkill.

Edit:What Banshee said

They were designed for use with the cordless miter box probably come out around the same time they'd probably do wonders for the mag base too

So about $190 in USD (maybe a bit less since things tend to be less expensive here in general). I'll be in NZ soon too...

Yes these are not meant to be used on all tools.. Things like the lights, grinders - anything that's more then just intermittent use or high draw sitatuions...

High demand tools.

Having 3 sets of cells means these batteries can deliver more power than XC and compact batteries. That also means they can run a little cooler, in theory meaning greater longevity and longer runtime.

These batteries are designed to match with the biggest and most powerful M18 tools, such as the new rotary hammer, Super Hawg, and things like that.

Also, note that the batteries are LONGER. The batteries seem to be staggered, reducing the height but growing the length.

Some new tools, such as the LED tripod light, are designed to accommodate the new 9Ah pack. Nobody is going to want to pair it with compact and lightweight tools.

You're not going to want to attach a 9Ah battery to something like a drill or impact driver.

Super Uber Thread Bump....

Wonder what's the deee-lay with the high cap batteries.

Just added another dewalt OPE cordless to my lineup -- and I have a whole fleet of Milwaukee. Just added their 10 ton knockout tool to my stash last week.

The Dewalt came with a nice 40V 7.5AH battery.

They're used for Milwaukee electric cars.

Usually this means bigger a more powerful motors on impact and drills in the future aswell

I would like to see a cordless air hammer ( i know it's a big task) and know a hammer drill is completely different
