Does it come with a battery and charger?

No. It is a bare tool, so you need an M18 battery and charger you already own.

How long does it run on a battery?

Milwaukee rates about 30 minutes in high mode and over 50 minutes in low on a HIGH OUTPUT 8.0 battery. Smaller packs give less.

Yes. It ships with a certified HEPA filter for fine dust and microparticle collection.

Can it collect dust from power tools?

Yes. A power tool adapter is included so you can hook it to tools for dust extraction.

Does it work off the PACKOUT stack?

Yes. It can be used on or off a PACKOUT stack, so it works as a standalone vac too.

Is it good for large spills?

It handles small spills and jobsite debris well, but the 2.5-gallon tank means frequent emptying on big jobs.
