Decoding the mAh: A Crash Course in Battery Speak
Milliamp hours (mAh) is a unit used to measure a battery's capacity. In simpler terms, it tells you how long the battery can theoretically deliver a certain amount of current (measured in milliamps). The higher the mAh, the longer the battery should last on a single charge.
But here's the twist! M12 batteries don't just deal in milliamps, they're operating on a whole different voltage level – 12 volts, to be precise. This means for a true understanding of a battery's power, we need to consider watt-hours (Wh). It's like the scientific equivalent of that "mileage may vary" sticker on your car – a more complete picture of what your battery can do.

M12 Mayhem: A Capacity Chameleon
Now, the fun part! Milwaukee M12 batteries come in a variety of flavours, each boasting a different mAh rating. Here's a quick rundown:
- The Mighty Mini: The compact 1.5 Ah battery is perfect for lighter tasks, but don't expect it to power your drill through a brick wall all day.
- The Workaholic: The 2.0 Ah and 3.0 Ah options are the workhorses of the M12 family. They offer a good balance of size and runtime for most projects.
- The XC Factor: Buckle up for the extended capacity (XC) batteries! These 4.0 Ah and 6.0 Ah beasts will keep your tools running for extended periods.
Remember: While a higher mAh generally translates to longer runtime, the specific tool you're using and the job at hand will also play a role.
So, How Much mAh Does My M12 Battery Have?
The answer, my friend, depends entirely on the specific battery you own! Check the label on your battery – it'll clearly state the mAh capacity. If you've misplaced the battery or are considering buying a new one, Milwaukee's website or a quick Google search with your model number will do the trick.
Tip: Don’t skip — flow matters.
