Milwaukee M18 High Output 6.0Ah vs Standard 4.0Ah REDLITHIUM Batteries | Right Tool for the Job

hey everyone i'm harley with ohio power 
tool and today on right tool for the   job we're going to find out which m18 
battery is right for you the high output   or the original red lithium it's 
the high output this is the one   you want this one let me explain why let's take a 
look at the two main types the newer high output   batteries are designed to provide fifty percent 
more power and run fifty percent cooler the   cell technology of each battery is what makes the 
biggest difference in their performance milwaukee   uses two types of battery cells the 18650 and the 
21700 the number refers to the size of the cell   so 18650s measure 18 by 65 millimeter and the 
21700s measure 21 by 70 millimeter the high output   batteries use the 21700s which are newer and most 
commonly used to power larger more powerful tools   they're like cars and stuff so the high output 
battery packs claim to have more peak power and   run cooler for sustained use but that's a new tool 
specifically designed to work with these does it   change the performance of all fuel tools as well 
what about compact tools well we were recently   comparing several newer m18 impact wrenches from 
the stubby all the way to the one inch d handle   but in doing so we found some interesting 
results running the tests on the skidmore   so back to the big question do the new m18 high 
output batteries actually increase power over the   original red lithium batteries well in the shop we 
have an m18 4.0 battery which is several years old   probably very much like our everyday customers 
have and also we have the brand new 6.0 high   output it was clear right out of the gate the 
tools performed very differently with these two   battery packs so we ran tests on all four impacts 
to see how each might perform with each battery see i told you the m18 high output batteries were 
better but it was very interesting to see all the   other tools performed significantly better 
based solely on the battery now we've always   heard the pitch on milwaukee fuel that redlink 
is the technology that connects the batteries   and the brushless motors to optimize performance 
sounds like a lot of marketing speak but this does   make us think there's a lot more going on here 
than we might have given milwaukee credit for   so for our final thoughts this really made it much 
more clear that the high output batteries are a   good idea for tool performance of course lights 
and radios and other m18 tools won't see much   performance changes outside of a better runtime 
which is still good but it's pretty clear all m18   tools carry the fuel designation are going to be 
optimized for the best performance so of course   the og red lithiums are still great but why not 
add some high outputs to your arsenal batteries   if you have any questions or comments on today's
