Our take on the Milwaukee M18 REDLITHIUM XC5.0 Starter Kit

This is a Milwaukee M18 starter kit: one 5.0 Ah REDLITHIUM XC battery plus the 48-59-1812 M18 charger. The XC5.0 packs Milwaukee's larger cell format, rated for up to 2.5X the runtime of standard lithium-ion packs, with an onboard fuel gauge and overload protection. It fits every M18 tool, so it works as a first battery or a spare for a growing kit. At $93.75 at Walmart as of November 7, 2026, it sits well below what a battery-and-charger pair usually costs.

Best forFirst-time M18 tool buyers who need a battery and chargerOwners adding a spare 5.0 Ah packUsers of high-draw M18 tools like saws and grindersAnyone replacing a worn-out M18 battery
Pros

  • Charger refills the pack in about 1.5 hours
  • Onboard fuel gauge shows charge at a glance
  • Fits the full M18 tool line
  • Overload protection built in
Cons

  • 5.0 Ah is mid-tier; larger packs last longer in high-draw tools
