The MX FUEL Equipment System is Milwaukee’s latest line of medium to large cordless power tools powered by lithium-ion batteries and was introduced into the Milwaukee tool line in 2019. While Milwaukee’s M12 and M18 FUEL line mainly consists of compact and sub-compact power tools like drills/drivers, grinders, and rotary tools, the MX FUEL System supports larger trade power tools. These include core drills, jackhammers, and concrete saws, with the goal of reducing hazardous emissions, noise, and vibrations that come with operating gas-powered tools.
More technically, the MX FUEL system includes three specific innovations exclusive to Milwaukee: the POWERSTATE Brushless Motor, REDLINK PLUS Intelligence, and perhaps most importantly, the MX FUEL REDLITHIUM Battery pack. In total, these innovations are used in over 20 different products as part of the MX FUEL system. This work is a culmination of knowledge learned since Milwaukee first introduced its line of cordless lithium-ion power tools in 2005.
One of the more interesting features of the system is REDLINK PLUS Intelligence, which enables the MX FUEL battery to communicate with the tool and charging station to optimize its charge rate based on battery type and temperature, providing up to a four times faster charging rate than previous models.
