It is, I got that deal when it first hit, even had a $20 off coupon for purchases over $200 that I stacked on top by getting a Halloween bucket on top.

I need m18 batteries.... My HO 12 and 8 ah are not fully charging. The 12 doesn't even want to charge.

I know you can rip them apart and balance/shock them. But rather just get new and hope I have better results.

Any deals? The forge stuff hardly goes on sale from what I see.

The battery scene is really making me question going all in with Red. I was gifted a 12AH and it wouldn't fully charge. I disassembled and got it balanced for a couple cycles and then wouldn't balance. I have an 8AH that looks like it needs balanced. Not to mention the weight of any Red battery that is above 5AH.

There's usually some good deals for batteries around Black Friday or other holidays.

The best I can think of at the moment is the 8AH Forge for $140 (plus shipping) at Clark's. They're an authorized dealer. You might need to be signed in to see the price.

I've been using M18 tools for 12 years and haven't had one battery go bad.  I think that I have two 2.0s, two 5.0s, two 6.0s, one 9.0 and one 12.0.  I also have nine M12 batteries with only one bad.  All of my M12 tools and batteries were used professionally before I obtained them, so I don't know their age or how many cycles that they have.  

There are a lot of fake Milwaukee batteries out there, so I'm always skeptical when someone has experienced a lot of bad batteries.  Maybe I've just been lucky.

Thanks. I'll probably grab one. Kinda frustrating. I'm so deep into m18 stuff now though or I'd be looking elsewhere

Ive had 2 9.0s shit the bed. Worst part it was a known issue and I sat on it  and missed the warranty window.

With as many batteries as they sell, its a given that there will be some duds, just like cars.

Ive got a shit ton of other M18 and M12 batteries, and those have been the only issues, fingers crossed

I have both.  The magnet mat has been stuck to the side of my fridge for months, just haven't found a use for it yet.  I love the light though.  It has helped with repairing various things in the house like 3D printers and reconfiguring my network gear.  Kind of wish I had known about the light earlier so I could have picked up another one.

I can't find it in my purchase history but I bought a 12ah and 8ah forge with a rapid charger many months ago.  If I remember correctly the combo was somewhere around $250.  It was probably around BF last year.  Not sure and I could be wrong but both of the Forge batteries have been great.  I've had two of the 8ah HO batteries crap out on me.  All of these are mainly used on the string trimmer and leaf blower.

The HO 12, HO 9,  and HO 8 batteries seem to die often from what I've experienced and read.  Same for the M12 6.  The HO 6 and Forge batteries are holding up.  It sucks that Milwaukee doesn't have a real BMS, that balances the cells, for their batteries.

I've only had one go bad and that was a 6ah one. I guess they had issues with those. I can still use it if I use a dc power supply to charge up the one cell that is bad enough to get it close to the others to get it to charge in the charger
