New car charger from Milwaukee

Milwaukee Tool offers a new vehicle charger for its M18 and M12 battery packs.

“The new charger plugs into 12-volt DC outlets and accepts all M18 and M12 battery packs, charging them sequentially,” the company said in a statement.

“With Milwaukee Redlink intelligence, this charger communicates directly with M18 and M12 battery packs to monitor cell voltage, temperature, and charge status to optimize the performance and overall life of the packs. As an added level of communication, the charger has protective electronics that monitor the voltage of the user’s car battery. The charger will automatically shut down to prevent excessive discharge if the vehicle battery voltage dips too low.”

The charger will be available in May and sell for $99.
