Milwaukee Presents New Batteries and Tools at PIPELINE 2026
The announcements include a 15 Ah M18 FORGE battery and expanded cordless tools.
News date:

Milwaukee used its August 2026 PIPELINE event to preview products spanning batteries, charging, tools and accessories. Pro Tool Reviews' August 13 coverage listed a mixture of products already available and releases scheduled for later in 2026 or 2027.
Among the additions was the M18 REDLITHIUM FORGE HD15 battery, listed for January 2027 at an announced price of USD 379. The roadmap also included M18 High Output XC5 batteries for September 2026 and an M18 Top-Off 350W power supply and charger for February 2027, with pricing still to be determined for the latter.
Trade-focused additions included high-torque impact wrenches planned for October and an M18 Fuel grease gun kit for November. A four-bay simultaneous charger with PACKOUT compatibility was listed as already available. The event therefore presented a product pipeline rather than a single synchronized retail launch.
For professional users and dealers, the schedule provides a way to distinguish near-term stock decisions from future platform expansion. Battery and charging products also support use across multiple tools, making their availability relevant beyond an individual machine. The dates and prices above belong to the event coverage and should be read as the announced roadmap at that time.
