what's up everyone so today we're taking a look at the all-new Milwaukee M18
volt high output CPP 3.08 battery delivers 50% more power and runs
50% cooler than your regular m18 well we're gonna beat the hell out of it
let's get started
just hit the market the 3.0 not only that they come out with the bigger
batteries are gonna be hitting the stores here pretty soon the 8.0 they're
gonna have a 6.0 pretty nice where this thing is going to shine is on your
impacts and your drill drivers and all those types of tools the hand tools what
we're gonna do though is we're going to put it up against the 508 H we have two
of each of the exact same impacts and drill drivers these are the gen 3 models
we're gonna see if it can stack up against a regular m18 redlithium XC 5.0
and we're gonna try to put it in a table saw and we're also going to try to use
it on the all-new quick lock weed eater to see how it does do have a two year
battery warranty on this it does come with the red link intelligence outer
indicator right here got the four bars we're gonna see how well that holds up
it will work in any m18 fuel will see compared to a regular M 18 red lycium it
is the exact same width but it's a little bit longer the length on it
probably got up on an inch longer than your regular ma teens now the 5.0 is a
little bit heavier than the 3.0 and the reason why they're so close in weight is
because the 3.0 is a little bit longer but on all you can definitely tell the
difference when you have that drill in your hand you know I want to tell you
before I forget is that this thing charges very quickly on the rapid charge
you're looking at 15 20 minutes to get a full charge on this battery after it was
completely depleted so really quick on that rapid charge charger so what we're
gonna do is we got some paddle bits here we got a couple sockets the exact same
sockets as some lags down with those we went out and bought the exact same half
inch impact socket adapters we're gonna use them on the exact same
tools I want to see what this battery can do compared to the 5.0 again
everything is the exact same all right let's do the lags first the 3.0 is on
the right the 5h on the left let's see what it does so we went a little bit
deeper down with the 3.0 let's take them out so faster on the 3.0 then the 5.0
that's pretty impressive I was not pushing down on any of those
and they had the exact same setting they were both on setting 3 let's try the
drill/driver now we're going to use some one-inch spades on the tree native 4x4
and this is a little hard to do on the left here we have the 3.0 and then on
the right we have the 5.0 let's try this and this treated 4x4 is very wet now
here's what I found strange about this the 3.0 went all the way down through
and I'll show you a different setting here the 3.0 went all the way down
through and the regular 18 volt actually stopped here's another look at it for
yourself the 5.0 actually stopped when we almost
went through and the 3.0 high output literally went all the way down through
I want to tell you again I was not pushing down on either one of these and
to be honest with you I don't have a dog in this fight I could really care less
which one wins but it seems to be that the 3.0 is beating the 5.0 let's try it
again
so that wasn't perfectly straight but the speed one on both of these it looks
like the 5.0 was just a hair faster on it again
I was not pushing down on either one of these I'm letting the actual paddle bits
do the work for me all right let's try to drill/driver here we're just gonna go
with the one because I know there is nothing fair check this out no way she's
going down through that concrete
I definitely like that thinner battery on the drill driver just
because it's balanced a lot more even if you ask me it's not as bulky on the
bottom end now I can tell you nobody is going to use these on a table saw and if
you are well you shouldn't they're going to be coming out with the a point oh I
just wanted to see if it would work
yeah didn't think so but what about the all-new kwik-lok weed
eater you haven't seen that review I'll put a card right up here we got some
nasty stuff right here I threw this in and I haven't recharged this battery at
all you can also see that the grass is very wet so going through like a champ
that's pretty impressive for such a big task you know a smaller 3.0 being able
to cut this down and I'll show you the battery life after we go through a
little bit more of this now just to let you know I have been using this battery
before I even shot this video I have about 3/4 of an acre and I had some
really thick grass that I had to take care of I went through that entire 3/4
area the border area with this and I still had two bars left not only that I
edged all of my sidewalks including the driveway and I still had two battery
bars now a 5.0 versus a 3.0 battery I will tell you that I am impressed that
in most cases this is actually faster and more powerful that I've seen then
the regular 5.0 battery now they will be coming out with the larger batteries
very soon that you can use in your miter saws and your cable saws there and even
though we tested this on the table saw you can see it didn't work and the quick
lock system the weed eater I would still definitely recommend a larger battery to
operate those pieces of equipment these are great for the the smaller tools but
the larger tools you're definitely gonna wait for those 6.0 sand those 8.0 s to
hit the market but with all that I can definitely tell a huge difference with
this smaller battery when it comes to power is actually really impressive and
not only is it able to stand up to the larger 5.0 it actually beat the 5.0 and
a lot of the applications that I have been putting it through so that right
there is very cool I will put a link for these batteries in the comment section
