This patent protects the Milwaukee brand’s newly introduced M12 and M18 LITHIUM-ION product lines as well as the industry’s first V28 and V18 LITHIUM-ION product lines. More efficient and environmentally friendly, the Milwaukee LITHIUM-ION technology is the result of many years of development by the company’s engineers around the globe, representing a multi-million-dollar investment by Milwaukee.
