Milwaukee Tool Introduces M18 Packout Six Bay Rapid Charger
Milwaukee Tool, a leading manufacturer of power tools and accessories, has come out with its new M18 Packout Six Bay Rapid Charger. This product is designed to fit into any Packout system and takes up a half slot of space. There are two sides to the release for charging one battery on each side. Once a battery is charged, it will go in the opposite direction as it chooses the next battery to charge from the Packout release. The power cord and a rubber-covered USBC output is on the other side.
This battery charger works in an interesting fashion, as it charges only one battery on each side. But, if you leave it unplugged and load the charger up with batteries, it will choose one battery to start with that is on the Packout release side and work its way down. It will start from the front and charge all the batteries to the back.
The charger has standard lights that light up the battery to indicate how far charged it is, as well as the standard red light for charging. If the lights are blinking, it means the pack is too hot or too cold while charging. If they are just sitting there and blinking, that means they are in the queue to be charged.
It is important to note that the charger will only charge one battery on each side, so it is necessary to have batteries on both sides to fully utilize the charger. If you don’t, it will still only charge one battery on each side.
The M18 Packout Six Bay Rapid Charger is incredibly mobile, making it ideal for use on the go. It comes with no risk of falling out, as it clips in perfectly. It can also be dropped on the wall, making it versatile and practical for all users. The charger is designed with a fan inside that pushes air out and around the batteries, preventing a buildup of heat while charging. There are drain holes at the bottom in case the device comes into contact with water.
This versatile charger is priced at $249 currently available at Home Depot. It will fit the needs of those individuals who require swift and efficient charging of multiple batteries. This product also comes with a 5-year warranty, giving peace of mind to the user.
Milwaukee Tool has a broad range of battery chargers in the market, and they all range in varying prices. This six-bay charger can be an excellent addition for a larger crew where one or two guys can work on a project with ease. The M18 Packout Six Bay Rapid Charger also works well for those who desire to charge multiple batteries quickly. The product is getting great reception for its unique features and practicality, being highly recommended by users.

Ya I'm not sure why they didn't have one for that .. or at least make us a M12 packout one as well
You can put your cell phone in the narrow tray while charging it via the USB port.
i like simultaneous better
That’s a good upgrade from the old one. I still prefer the hybrid charger with m12 and m18 since I use both
👎
What a waste of time and money Milwaukee! I'll keep my m18/m12 rapid charger thanks.
Pretty hilarious I can rapid charge 4 DeWalt batteries at a time yet Milwaukee's still living in 2010 with this weak charger.
Why the hell error light and waiting light are the same blinking red?
Glad I went with dewalt. Put 4 batteries on and they charge simultaneously!
Milwaukee rapid charger charges one battery at a time. That's old technology, lagging behind the Dewalt DCB104 rapid charger, which charges all 4 batteries at the same time.
I'm curious if a multi-bay Super Charger is on the horizon? Although, it really only benefits three batteries.
Milwaukee, we need this on M12 pls )
What would be better, 6 bays charging at 2 amps per port, or 2 bays out of 6 charging at 6 amps per port
They could have implemented simultaneous charging of all batteries. By charging each battery at 5 amps (to charge a 5Ah battery in 1 hour), that would still only amount to approx. 5 amps drawn from a 120V pixie receptacle. Easy.
Waste of time that I won’t charge multiple batteries ( more than 2) at a time
I am a 1 man show so most of the time I just throw a couple of batteries in the pack out box. The charger is huge.
That would be awesome if it was a power station as well
I mostly charged my baterie at home and only carry the m18 mutltivolt rapid charger because i can charged m12 and m18 its nice for that. I would like to have more packout but my truck box ran out of space .
Its nice ! But would like to have one like this but supercharger hehe
Major Fail* "A charger that large only charging one battery at a time?! Come On Man!"; Joe Biden
They need to make the 6 bay (3x M12 and 3x M18) charger into a packout version.
Happy holidays! Nice video as always, I plan on getting this.
