My friend gave me a Milwaukee tool set, which stopped working for some reason. The 1.5 Ah battery was dead, the charger did not have any lights and would not charge the only battery I had. I opened the battery and carefully charged the cells bypassing the safeties. Still it would not run the tools or charge in the charger. Since I did not know what was wrong with the set I decided to buy this kit, which includes both batteries and a charger. It turns out I made a good decision.
As soon as I put the old battery on the new charger it started charging. Right away I took it off the charger and put it on a tool and it worked as well. So the old charger was bad and the original battery needed a good charger for a couple of seconds to reset the safeties. Interesting…
Now I have a set of a compact drill, impact wrench, 3 batteries and a charger. Let’s talk about the batteries and the charger. They came in the sealed Milwaukee Starter Kit box. Everything looks authentic, but it came from China and all bets are off with this country. I have seen too many counterfeits in my life. For this price it has to be a counterfeit product or a quality reject from the original Chinese factory. We’ll never know for sure. But the product looks and feels like the original Milwaukee.
I even weighted the batteries and got 716 and 725 grams. One Youtube video says a 5 Ah counterfeited battery weighted 649 g. By the way both batteries came with little charge and 1 light on the fuel gauge, I measured 17.80 and 17.78 V across (+) and (-) terminals. After full charge one new battery measured 20.73 V. The charge took a little over an hour, but the battery still had some initial charge in it. At the end of charge the charger was quite warm.
Time will tell if it is a good purchase. I will post un update after awhile. For now this product deserves solid 5 stars, counterfeit or not.

I was a little concerned these might be counterfeit but after watching the Project Farm YouTube video about being scammed on batteries, I determined these are the real deal. Plus, they come in a nice Milwaukee package as a “Starter Pack.” They weigh the correct weight according to Project Farm so you can buy with confidence. I will say they are special batteries and I can see why they cost so much. They hold a charge like no other battery and they charge really fast too so you will never be shut down on a job. Plus, they also have a charger that will hook up to your vehicle’s 12V outlet.

Charger works quickly. Batteries hold charge.

Got it and I put the batteries on charge!
First battery charged up! Put the second battery on charge and it wouldn’t charge.
The charger was telling me that the battery was no good! Messaged Amazon and they sent me a new set
Was just asking for a new battery and not the complete set but that’s OK

pros:
Charger charges the battery from flat to full relatively quickly
First party OEM batteries feel so much better than knock-off brands
the charge indicator on the battery serves well to let you know how much is left
I pretty much never find myself without power when I have one charging and one fully charged to use for my impact screwdriver and my drill.

They last a long time
