Is this Milwaukee Tool M18 Power Supply something you can use?
my eyes were on that 'merican flag les paul
Can use? Yes. $1700 worth of tool and battery though? I like my Milwaukee tools, but not that much lol.
Not sure it's worth it.
Nope, totally misses the mark. A solar generator can do more than that, for instance a Bluetti AC200MAX has a 2.2-kilowatt inverter with 4.4kw surge, pass thru charging and 900-watts solar input. The AC200MAX battery is a 2-kwh Lithium Iron Phosphate with 3500 charge cycles to 80% and the ability to add up to 6kwh. The cost is $1800 for the AC200MAX. The Milwaukee uses Lithium ion (M18) batteries with a 350-cycle life and if you buy 4 12-ah batteries at $250 (a great deal) - that is still $1000 dollars just for batteries. That battery capacity is only 48-amp hours or 800-watt hours. The inverter is $700 for a total cost of $1700 with batteries, a hundred less than the bigger solar generator. The AC200MAX will last 10 times longer than the Milwaukee batteries, has more outlets (AC and DC) and is a little bigger than the Milwaukee power supply.
We could us it, we have a animal rescue military boarding home during deployment off grid at high altitude CO. We have solar and wind that powers the cabins and main kennels. However having a power supply like this could be extremely useful when working on different parts of the 6 acre😂 rescue and buildings. Also would be extremely useful in the mines we take veterans panning and mining for PTSD relief, and no gasses to kill you, we can run better equipment. Great video thank you for sharing. 🇺🇸
Just buy an EcoFlow Delta 2. It recharges in under an hour, has 1000wh of energy available compared to the 860 you get from the M18 Power Supply and you don’t have to worry about needing 4 12ah batteries to run it well. It also has solar charging available or 12v charging. This thing is overpriced at $700…. It’s worth maybe $400. And I’m heavily invested in Milwaukee. It’s also stupidly large for what it is.
$2400 for an ecoflow delta 2? I already have a stash of 12AH batteries. This unit makes more sense at my house.
@@Recovry6x6 delta 2 is ~$900 plus it has a battery built in that is larger than 4 12ah batteries. The m18 definitely has its place, but it’s not priced competitively.
Whoever's reading this, i pray that whatever you're going through gets better and whatever you're struggling with or worrying about is going to be fine and that everyone has a fantastic day! Amen
Amen brother
I would like to get this, it's just that those 12.0 "Bat Rays" are about $200.00 per 'Bat Ray!!!!
See this is a tool that you would want to wait a few months to purchase if possible. Just like so many other Milwaukee Tools when releasing a new tool shortly after Milwaukee releases the same tool but will improve the issues. For example when Milwaukee came out with the weed wacker shortly after they came out with a updated version that you could change out the heads and have a extension pole for cutting tree branches or a attachment for sweeping construction debris etc. I would almost guarantee Milwaukee comes out with another generator that rapid charges all four batteries at the same time and this will always happen.💯🙏🇺🇸
@Joseph Malinowski It's always been my personal policy to never buy the first year/generation of anything, whether it's a car, power tool, phone, etc.. I let other people try the stuff out first ;)
Pretty sure this is a Gen 2 though
one year later, there has not been the release you mentioned will happen..
Are we all just going to skip over the fact that the evil twin can absolutely freaking shred?! 🤘
Im in Milwaukee platform so I’m stuck with this but I feel like they missed the ball. The dewalt is a rapid charger.
I really do wish it was rapid. Takes a while to charge those big batteries
Great video, Clint. This thing wold probably be great for me to run my CPAP while camping.
The smaller top off Milwaukee power supply can run a CPAP for 2 nights with a 12 amp battery or 1 night with a 5.
I think it will be interesting to see if Harbor freight comes out with a Hercules version of this since they have the 12ah batteries for over 100 bucks cheaper 😉
This is a fantastic choice for those already with m18 bat trees, especially the 12ah. But for those without, I'd recommend a solar generator instead. At an msrp of $1700 with 4x12ah there are many solar generator options to suit your needs. And they will run devices while charging, that's a big fail IMHO on the Milwaukee. However you can replace the batt trees as needed on the Milwaukee, where as a solar generator when you reach the battery life cycles, it's kaput.
If you get new lithium phosphate solar generator like Bluetti or Ecoflow, in10 years in which it will be 80 percent. it might be 30 years before it goes dead.
We’re living in a world where you can charge your power tool batteries with your power tool batteries
This video was powerful. Really keeps things going
Ooh, that really spensive like Clint 🤨😒🤨😒🤨
I have the DeWalt version of this because I was already heavily invested in their line, but this looks equally as cool and useful. Great for Milwaukee folks to have for sure! 👍
dewalts isnt pure sine wave
It's pronounced "TORNAYDAH" Flint! Tornaydah! Geeeeesh
🤣🤣🤣 my bad 👊
$600 is a lot for an inverter.
it would be nice to have one for night time when the situation comes around.
Charge it up at Vinces house n use it for your laundry n it will pay for itself thx VCG😬 👍
Wonder how it does versus the dewalt 4 battery inverter
Poor Clint. HIs evil twin never told him that the classical music is metal w/o the distortion! Maybe you should talk to yourself.....errrr..... to your "twin" more often! Thanks for the feedback on this power supply. It's lil brother- the 175 inverter- will power a Peavey 6505+ 100w head for a bit! lol.
I will definitely be picking this up for both off grid tool usage and emergency backups. I have 10+ M18s, but only up to the 8A versions. If you compare this to other battery "generators" (I loathe that term), it is just a little more expensive for the initial investment. However even with the $899 power supply, once it's battery is depleted, that is all it can do. By keeping my M18s charged, I can swap them out for a longer overall run time. I also have some solar charging capacity that might be able to keep batteries charged for continuous rotation in case of longer term power outages. Honestly, for running tools, I expect this to keep running longer than I want to keep working. I really wish the MX batteries/power supply wasn't 3-4x more expensive. I just couldn't justify that one.
you build your own one 18volt 12amp its 500.00 4 its like $2,000 or more i build my own much better
After the local wallmart was discounting thier 40 v combos I picked up a chainsaw and blower with 4 amp hour batt for 75 and 100 💵 . I'd like to see a hart version of this.
Im interested to see how long this will last if you have a Dj controller + laptop + some speakers+ subwoofer. Asking for a camping friend
Purchased this power station a few months ago, as i really enjoyed this presentation.
Even though The Illuminating company is quite reliable, August 2003 lives on in NE Oh.
Hay brother, hope you are having a good Sunday and all is well. Always wishing you the best. This has to be one of your better videos showing off a new tool. Ttyl brother.💯🙏🇺🇸
i build my own run much better ok 18 volt 12amp one battery its 500.00 so 4 battery $2,000 or more ok you build your own ok much better 4000 watts inverter pure sine wave 4 12 volt deep cycle battery 75amp 900 watts 4 battery 75amp 900watts 4 battery 3600 watts ok the kind money you pay for that build your own
Big problems, Milwaukee's new carry on, apart from the plugs being upside down, very annoying if you're putting in a two pin plug, the big problem, switched on but not in use the batteries die in 40 hours, even the big 12 amp, so if you are using this as a backup for anything, maybe for a sump pump,forget it
I'll pass. Those people in Florida without power for weeks. Some will be a month minimum. I have plenty of fuel. You can't even hear my Honda.
Nice Clint have MILWAUKEE send me one to test for them 👊🏼🪚🔨👊🏼🇺🇸✌🏼
I like this plus I’m in the Milwaukee platform, great to have if you lose power for a short period of time
Why didn't they make it a fast or rapid charger?
Could it be that rapid charging is hard on batteries? Especially when you ram them full to the max.
@@HuFlungDung2 that makes sense
That's is expensive compared to dewalts.
personally, incase of power-outrage I have a gas generator that runs my whole house or when I do jobs in ranch where electricity not available I use my 3k-watt vehicle inverter to run heavy tools or charge batteries.
Very impressive power supply but what's more impressive is that geetar playing. 👍
everyone loves to bitch about regular (non-fast) charging
but nobody wants to talk about how lithium cells tend to last longer and produce more power over their lifetime when charged slower
👍hilarious
This is a purchase for only the commercial account or company credit card. Hell nah I wouldn’t buy this with my paycheck money
Still waiting for review of the Milwaukee snow blower! (Lol)
Q: Will this power up my six zones of air conditioning and two Tesla EV’s? 😂😂😂
I subscribed finally cause I like your reviews but not to be a Debbie downer but I haven’t seen if this is packout accessible , it doesn’t look like it but still interested
Don't worry ppl they will make another one with digital screen and 3 outlets you can run at the same time and charge the batteries to use the outlets
Wait !!! Lmao 700 bucks and it's only a standard charger
The battery thing wasn’t even funny the first time… let alone the 150th time my god
so does the power supply only work if you have 4 battery in charge ?
You don’t understand why people are using gasoline generators lmao
I wonder why Milwaukee didn't make this in there mx fuel line???. Also it look like the evil twin plays the hell out of that guitar.
They did, over a year ago I think. MXF002-2XC is a kit with 2 batteries, $1650 on Amazon right now, $2200 at HD.
Milwaukee keeps dropping the ball I love there products but I'm not going to waste my money on something like that when it does have pass thru charging for the money you spend on battery's and the unit I could just get a solar generator I get it's ment for someone who already had batteries but in something like a black out those batteries would run out pretty quick
Why can't you just use one of the other sockets on the extension cord you're charging this with?
Ima charge my batrayys then use those for the generator to charge those batrayyss
Hey, nice video!
Do you think this thing would run a 1500w portable heater? I am in Canada, and I sense we will lose electricity this winter LOL.
I have one, it will run the heater
@@brandonhiggs88 yeah but not for long right?
@@Got2Learn haven't tested run time yet, I only used it on a heater for one night and didn't run constantly as it was only heating a truck camper. one thing that's funny is with 4 5.0ah batteries on it I can charge 4 5.0ah batteries and still have one bar of juice left.
@@brandonhiggs88 how many watts was the heater pulling?
@@Got2Learn it's a 1200 watt heater and would kick on and off as it wasn't heating a huge area and still had two bars in the morning. This was only using 5.0ah batteries
They can't even make a saw right no way am I trusting my life to that
So is the way you say Barrey your thing that’s funny ?
800 dollars in batteries would buy a good generator
does the input plug in work with out the charger in use
I like the pro and con approach. The entertainment value was also attractive.
Richard 👊
At those prices it's just cheaper to go with a solar generator/gator. All lithium batt-Rays will deplete after so many charges anyway so look for the ones with a higher number of total charge ratings. LifePoe4's are especially nice but worth the price considering all the facts.
*_I like the lock feature_*
Did they ever fix the 12ah battery issue where one or more of their cells are discharged lower than the others due to not having a balance charger bms?
I went with the 8.0s because of this issue...
That windy segment looked like my house with Fiona CLINT... 🌀🌬️🌴
Just like the RYOBI power station the technology has not matured enough for these devices as of yet to be viable for long term use.. No solar panel or wind charging capability, no multiple battery input capability for the inverter like chained LiFePO 100amp, no car charging capability...
Okay CLINT this may be nit picking but there are already too many options with those capabilities in the market to waste $700~$1300 on such limited devices.
MAYBE, if it had solar charging. We lost power for 4 days from Ian, without solar panels this would be useless! I have a gas generator running most of the house, these battery-operated units can't do that.
I don’t see it as a replacement for the gas generator. But I would like to have used it to keep the fridge going overnight and not have to worry about running the generator over night or theft. I think it would be more efficient to recharge during the day on generator and run only the fridge and phone chargers overnight but I may be wrong. Luckily we had nice cool nights after Ian in SWFL.
@@aydelotte0116 I concur, thanks for response!
I want this tool. Awesome idea for on /off job sites. I have 8 5.0 Milwaukee battery’s. They come with tools or buy cheep. But the 12.0. I have 1 haha there $260 a piece!!
I like the evil twin brother better. Sorry Clint! 👍
Gas is King & what real men use like gas & diesel trucks brother!
God Bless American & Gas Power Generators!
The one problem with the battery powered power supply used as a backup during and after any storms and there’s no power to charge the batteries for a period of time, a dual fuel powered generator would be the preferred choice and some gas stations will have a backup generator for the gas pumps and propane pump, I can see the battery powered power supply being used while camping 🏕.
Smeeesh that like button. 👀👉🏼 👍🏽
66 decibels? That's louder than the honda eu2000i or am I missing something? I want to hear it running before I even consider it. Hey can you comment on how loud it is?
What’s the model number?
It's waaay over priced...
I guess this power supply will go on my need-list. Sound awesome 👍💯😎💥. The only problem I don't like is that you can't charge individual batteries at a time. To have all battery on the charging port for the power supply to charge the batteries is disappointing. I think 🤔 that should be fix.
I talked to my boss a couple days ago about this. Would be useful for new construction so we could fire up the furnace and set gas pressures without having to wait on the electricians or main LP gas line to be ran.
Not that I'll buy one, but I take it milwaukee will fit UK type 3 pin sockets on that unit before shipping over?
And it will run 5 to 6 batteries
Great video editing and guitar shredding! As for the power supply, itself, battery power is still way behind gasoline generators for long-term power outages. Good for camping and tailgating though.
It’s not a battery. I’m just happy to see you, but if Ryobi has one as well, I would be even happier.
But could it charge a tesla?
No just buy a power station atleast you can add solar charging you also know how much is going in and out and how long of a run time you have
I want to know how long will it run your refrigerator and if I plug a super charger into it how many 12s will it charge before its out of juice
Nice piece of kit
Wonder how long g it would keep the fridge running before the batteries ran out
It would probably depend on a few things. Most importantly how much power the fridge draws the size and age of the fridge would probably make a big difference. How much the fridge is opened will have a big impact on the amount of time too, because the fridge will have to run more to keep the set temp if it’s being opened a lot. The efficiency of the inverter will have a bit of an impact. Of course the size of the batteries will matter too. You could get a rough estimate how long it will run something by taking the smallest amp hour battery you have in the machine and multiply by 72 (because the batteries are 18v nominal, but you have 4 of them). So let’s say your smallest battery is 5ah that’s 360 usable watt hours. I’d take a little off that for efficiency losses and more if your batteries are old and don’t last as long as they did when they were new. Let’s say you take 10% off that total. That would leave you with 324 hours. If you have a little fridge or cooler that only takes 50 watts, you should be able to run it over 6 hours, but if you try to run that big fridge in the video, that thing might consume 300 watts and may only run it for a bit over an hour. If the fridge wasn’t open very often, it would last longer than that though.
@@rob-toolsandtech2521 Thanks Rob
Clint, great video and playing classical guitar! I’m wondering if you can run a series of tests using each version of AH batteries and compare run times, etc? Thanks again!
Overpriced.......... LOL
Can it charge a tesla 🤔 hahaha
Love the special effects. Clint' is there anything you can't do?
this unit would have been alot better if it was a rapid charger version.
What the hell is a 🦇 ray
That's real nahslaik
Your by far the most entertaining Tool reviewer on u-tube thank you.
Will you play nickel back in the next tool review ? Lol
Can you do a comparison with the Ego power station?
I have this same type of unit in the dewalt have you tried this one and if yes which do you think is a better unit?
whats a Batray ??
I wouldn't mind one of these, and the price isn't too crazy. I have something like 14 or 15 batteries, though only 1 is a 12.0. I just acquired 2 more 5.0 batteries recently with that kit that Home Depot was selling. 2 5.0 batteries and a dual-charger for $199. And it's a simultaneous charger, charging both batteries at once. Much better than their 6-bay charger, that charges the batteries one at a time :P
Jcm 800 nice!
I want a Honda
Great review
Great review man thanks I was waiting I’m getting one for sure!
Tell your evil twin that that was badass!
So how many hours would this actually keep a refrigerator going? With Hurricane
Ian my power was out for five days. Thinking this wouldn’t last… and can’t recharge.
He only tested it for 2 hours. I have heard it would last 20-30 hours. I would like to see a real test though.
Also since it doesn't charge with solar makes it a short term solution for a power outage.
I built my own, it's only 1500/3000 but that's plenty for me. Mine also has the advantage of running on either 3 or 6 batteries, and it's much more compact. But mine will not charge, the batteries have to be removed to charge. Also, mine only cost about $300 in parts to build. I'm happy with mine, but this is cool for those who don't have the knowledge to build their own like I do.
Do you have a build guide?
@@James-dx9ho Not yet, but I'm thinking about making a full 1800W one and doing a build guide on that. I want to start a TH-cam channel for tech and DIY stuff.
Milwaukee seems to be iffy lately.
On my wish list! Love your videos
I have the ryobi 40 volt generator I’ll stick with it same warranty as the Milwaukee I paid $629 with 2 6ah hp batteries
And you don't have to use it with 4 batteries right?
@@masterkilla77 yeah you only need one battery to run it idk if in this video you need all 4 batteries in
First with a thumbs up Clint!
Hi Clint,
When you remove one battery does it keep the unit running long enough to hot swap with a full battery without interrupting the device your trying to keep powered? Or does it shut off immediately?
Pure sine wave?
yes it is.
