MILWAUKEE, WI – Continuing their commitment to driving efficiency and productivity for the professional, Milwaukee Tool introduces the new MX FUEL™ Portable Battery Extension. Driving improved ergonomics for operators, the Portable Battery Extension allows the operation of any MX FUEL™ equipment while taking the weight of the MX FUEL™ battery packs out of an operator’s hands. Allowing the user to wear the battery on their back or place it on the ground, this new solution reduces tool weight while maintaining peak performance.

Improving ergonomics within the system, the new MX FUEL™ Portable Battery Extension delivers a lighter tool weight in application to minimize user fatigue. Removing the weight of the MX FUEL™ battery pack, this new solution reduces tool weight by up to 45% on Handheld Equipment for improved ergonomics and minimized downtime on the job. The Portable Battery Extension can be worn as a backpack for easy transport or placed on the ground while using handheld MX FUEL™ equipment.

Designed to drive productivity on the job, Milwaukee’s new portable battery extension maintains peak performance throughout an application, such as cutting open concrete trenches, walls and window openings when tethered to the MX FUEL 14" Cut-off Saw w/ RAPIDSTOP". Optimized to complete the most demanding of tasks, this solution eliminates the compromise of performance and ergonomics faced by many operators on the professional jobsite. Featuring an 8’ Tether Adapter that fits all MX FUEL™ Equipment, users have the flexibility to operate hand-held equipment from the ground, a lift, ladder, or scaffolding.

Fully compatible with all MX FUEL™ batteries, this solution allows operators to realize the most runtime by leveraging the largest MX FUEL™ battery packs without compromising on weight and ergonomics.
