Hey everybody, if ya get either the 12.0 or the 8.0, charge them right away, and keep them at about a 60-75% charge, and REGISTER them with Milwaukee, because despite being really good batteries, they are prone to becoming unbalanced, and then they get the dreaded ‘Three Bar’ fully charged syndrome!

I grabbed the high torque for $198. I don’t “need” it, but it tops off my collection at a smoking price. Thanks Boss!

Wait for the forge 12.0 boys. It’s so much better than the faulty old model. I used one the other day and it was sweet

Is it gonna be $249?

I doubt the Forge 12.0 will go on sale for a reasonable price within the next 2 years though. It'll output 7% more power than an XC5.0 but cost 4x the price.

@@enthused7591 I agree. When these new batteries come out the asking price is outrageous but don't people will still buy it. When the 5AH PowerStack came out DeWalt was looking for $249 for one. Now I frequently see them for $100 each and often cheaper. Woot had them a while back for $139 for a 2 pack which works out to $69.50 each. I'm glad I waited and I'll do the same with the Forge batteries. I still haven't gotten the 6AH Forge battery yet because it hasn't really dropped in price yet. But it will. I just need to be patient. Lol

See i like the 12ah and this is a great price but so far every 12 i use eventually only charges to 3 bars. 😮

That's a great deal for a 12 AH battery. Couldn't pass it up. Thanks TB!

I'll alwways prefer the 5.0 batteries over the 6.0 HO and above. They're 40% smaller and lighter and give you 95% the power. As long as they're priced right, 5.0s are the perfect battery.
@toolboss84105 ай бұрын
Yes I agree in a certain aspect ..but unfortunately these new tools are really designed to be powered by the high output batteries

They had a hack on the half inch mid torque on slick deals for $129 bare tool a couple days ago, but I'm not sure if it's still available. I have one and it's a great, very powerful impact wrench

There are hacks with the m18 2.0 battery as well, which includes the mid torques.
