No. This is a M18 tool that runs only on high capacity M18 batteries. Not even the compact style M18 will work on it. V18 batteries will not work.

Milwaukee claims the sawzall will not work with a compact battery. This is not correct. The sawzall will work with a compact battery. Milwaukee staff have confirmed the compact battery will work, but discourage the compact battery usage due to the high power requirement and short battery life. I have a 2nd compact battery. As soon as my current battery goes dead, I swap it out with the other battery and put it on a charger. By the time my new battery is dead, the other battery is charged and ready to go. I find the compact batteries much easier to work with due to their light weight and quick charge time. Milwaukee claims the sawzall will not work with a compact battery. This is not correct.

I already had Dewalt 18 volt XRP NiCAD batteries and charger for other tools so I only needed the drill. The battery mount is also smaller to fit better with the smaller but more powerful Lithium batteries in case you ever want to use lithium batteries.

The short answer is yes. Milwaukee has two 18v batteries, a light duty and larger Extra Capacity (xc) battery. The xc battery will work on all Milwaukee cordless tools, but the standard (or light duty) will only work on the drills and impact drivers. The light duty batteries have an extra "fin" on the case that does not allow insertion into the larger tools such as the saw and sawzall. You can remove the "fin" with a rotary tool and use in the saw but you will not get the same performance from the battery, will not last as long and will need to be recharged more often. I have the saw and love it, it takes a lot for me to get out my old corded saw now.

Make sure you look at the model number on your drill because no where did it say it was for the 18v drill model number such it was a different number by one didn't ever see any milwaukee drill comments saying model 1 or 2 of the 18 volt version now I have a use less box.. Because it win't fit inside and was given no option to resolve this via return etc.. Don't get it

My charger melted the battery I bought from Amazon. Ruined my drill, so don't buy from Amazon. But to answer your question I would say the battery is bad.

Older lithium ion tools/&charger will accept the newer battery, you mean voltage not amperage. I say u can find out by calling/email milwaukee with tool model #

This is in the - Product Description - The Bosch ADS181-102 18V Lithium-Ion Right Angle Drill with (1) 1.5Ah High Capacity Battery - I am very satisfied with my Bosch angle drill and the 1.5 amp battery has a more than adequate run time. The 1.5 AH battery does have the charge indicator lights.

Yes, any Dewalt 18v battery pack from 1996 to present will work in almost all 18v Dewalt devices. There are about 7 devices that will not take the lithium ion battery but they are fairly obscure. I use both Lithium ion and ni-cd packs in my drills and impact as well my saw and other devices.

no, you have to charge the battery via electricity, this takes about an hour. Then put the battery into the drill you are set to go. Excellent drill and with the li-ion battery you never have to worry about battery forgiveness, i.e. run the battery 5 minutes and recharge right away if you need to, your battery will forgive you.

I have the combo kit in a bag... drill,recip saw & light about 3 years old when i bought this... i think all the 18volt batteries that are "insert" type are compatible... NiMh or Lithium... i have a few of each. this works with both types i have, sorry i dont know the part numbers. great with the reversible impact lug set, for spare tire changes.

I don't know, but I doubt it. I know, those Lithium batteries are expensive, aren't they. but they are worth it in the long run. I wouldn't expect a 20 volt battery to even fit an 18 volt tool, for safety reasons. But to satisfy curosity take your battery to a store that sells DeWalt tools, like Fleet Farm or Home Depot, and see if it fits.

Like john Nebelsiek said it was design to work on the XC red Lithioum, but he is wrong that the Milwaukee 48-11-1815 battery wont work it will just slower and for a short time, I spoke to milwaukee customer service and they said that all there M18 tool will work with any of the M18 batteries, just not as wellthe XC red lithium battery is prefert by profetionals becouse it last upto 2 hrs, but for regular people that just need it to cut a few peice here and there there is not problem.

Yes. I use lithium ion batteries in Milwaukee location and so far they've lasted 18 months with at least 5 comings and goings a day.

Don't really know,but it's the best drill I've ever owned. Had the old ni-cad dewalt and was happy with it, but now the brushless lit-ion is the best. Had a Rockwell 18 volt lit-ion and it went dead after sitting a week not being used.i been using my dewalt for small house jobs for a month and it's still charged. Good luck

I'm not sure of the specs on an eighteen volt but I know this thing is way lighter and drills for hours on the small battery. It will twist your wrist if it gets caught up while drilling.

Two(2) 18 volt batteries came with my Dewalt drill. You can buy extra batteries if you wish to do so.

Drill is backwards compatible with 18 volt nicad batteries. It came with 2 lower capacity (not XRP) Li-ion DeWalt batteries. The charger works for NiCad and Li-Ion batteries. I like the lower weight of the drill and Li-ion battery, BUT I HATE the Li-Ion battery because it cuts off without warning and you cannot squeeze any more out until you recharge. They do it because they don't want a Li_ion battery to blow up with somebody so basically they have protective circuitry built in to monitor each battery cell. But it sucks when you are up on a ladder and have no warning that the battery will give out on the next screw.
