Amazon extended its Prime Day sale to last multiple days, and now competing retailers are running their own bargain schemes to compete. The result? More places to go deal-hunting! One of my colleagues just noticed that Walmart is doing deep discounts on online Milwaukee tool battery sales, and since I know a lot of you run red equipment, I figured you’d want to check this out. Buy-one-get-one-free is a serious score when batteries cost $150.
The biggest discounts are on M18 batteries. Right now, you can get a two-pack starter kit of XC 6.0Ah Milwaukee batteries, with a charger, for $149.00, which would normally be $299.99. A pack of XC 5.0Ah batteries, also including a charger, is going for a steal right now too—$129 instead of the usual $397. If you don’t need a charger, a pair of XC 5.0Ah batteries is just $105.
Here’s the whole rundown of what’s discounted right now. You should be able to find the size and power level for your needs on this list somewhere.

If you’re not entirely sure which batteries you need, check Reddit, Google, or ask AI what would be optimal for your specific tool and working conditions. Broadly speaking, Milwaukee tiers its batteries between four power levels, one being the lowest and lightest and four being the biggest, most powerful, and most expensive.
RedLithium is the base model, RedLithium High Output has more power, and RedLithium Forge has more power, faster charging, and a longer lifespan. The amp-hour number describes run time—a higher number there means longer tool running.
Happy charging!
