Milwaukee M18 batteries and radio

[TR25]

On sale, 2 5ah m18 batteries and one radio, 199. That's a good deal, imo. Most of my M18 batteries are 15 years old, so should be getting newer ones anyways. So I buy 2 new 5ah batteries and they throw in a radio for free. The bad thing about the radio is no plug in option, only radio and bluetooth. Lighter though.

I use m18 batteries a lot as I have a few different lights, a radio/charger, and tools. I also have a cap that goes on to the top of them that you can plug a usb into and use it to charge whatever you plug into it, so phone, tablet and various smaller battery chargers, like the 18650s, a fenix headlamp, etc.
The lights are a flood light and a flood/spot light combo for them.
So use them no matter what RV I'm in...or even at home.

They're at home depot.

I buy the Chinese knockoffs that fit the Milwaukees at a fraction of the price Milwaukee gets. I've had the current 5ah chinese batteries for 5 or 6 years and they're still going strong.

I used to work w/a guy who did the same thing. I have a fear of lithium fires, so just bit the milwaukee bullet.....knowing them, it's probably from the same factory anyway.

Spent the day yesterday working outside and I'm impressed with that milwaukee radio. It's very light, good sound...and unlike most milwaukee radios, can actually get local radio stations further than 10 feet away.

Did I say good sound and light? That's RV worthy.
