FAQ

Q:

What are the advantages of battery powered equipment over gas equipment?

A:

Battery Powered Products offer many advantages over gas solutions such as:

No Pull Starts
Reduced Noise
No Mixing Gas and Oil
No Emissions
No Engine Maintenance

Q:

Do these products have the same power as gas powered products?

A:

Similar to gas powered products power output varies by which product you are using. Most of the M18 FUEL™ line of products offer more power than their gas counterparts like the M18 FUEL™ 16” String Trimmer offering More power than 31cc Gas competitors or the M18 FUEL™ Telescoping Pole Saw being the most powerful telescoping pole saw on the market. The ability to go beyond the power of gas equipment is due to Milwaukee’s extensive history in developing batteries, motors and electronics and knowledge that when these all work together they deliver a sum that is greater than each of the parts.

Q:

Why are these products being quieter than gas products beneficial?

A:

There are multiple advantages of having products that are quieter than gas. An example of this is being able to start working earlier in the morning without concerns of disturbing anyone in the surrounding area. Another advantage is communication, without a gas engine running or idling it makes it much easier to communicate with anyone else in the area.

Q:

What regulations are there around Gas powered equipment?

A:

There are emerging regulations that range from the municipality and city level to the state level that are banning the use and/or purchase of gas engines entirely or requiring usage of products that are below a certain noise level like blowers. An example of this is in California where the California Air Resources Board has enacted legislation against the purchase of gas outdoor power equipment.

Q:

How many batteries do I need to get through a day of work?

A:

The number of batteries someone needs to get through a day differs by user based on multiple variables like which products are being used, what applications are being completed, what region they live in, time of year and number of operators completing tasks. The best way to understand how many batteries you might need is to start at the product level to understand how many batteries you will need for specific tools and applications.
