Assembly Instructions & Notes
- Use 18650 power-grade lithium-ion cells only.
- For new cells: ensure all cells in a group (5, 10, or 15) are matched in internal resistance and charged to the same voltage before assembly.
- For rebuilt/used cells: test the voltage at both ends of each cell and equalize all cells to the same voltage before welding.
- Critical: All cells MUST be at the same voltage before soldering or spot-welding the PCB into place.
- Refer to the circuit board connection diagram (see product images) for proper wiring layout.
Made in Mainland China.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does this M18 battery rebuild kit include 18650 lithium-ion cells?
A: No. This kit includes only the plastic outer shell, the PCB charge protection circuit board, and case stickers/labels. You must supply your own 18650 lithium-ion power cells separately. Please do not order if you require a ready-to-use battery pack.
Q: Which Milwaukee battery models is this case compatible with?
A: This plastic case and PCB board are designed to be compatible with Milwaukee M18 18-volt battery packs, specifically referencing the Milwaukee 48-11-1815 form factor. It supports rebuild configurations of 5, 10, or 15 × 18650 cells, corresponding to approximately 3Ah, 6Ah, and 9Ah capacity packs.
Q: What does the PCB charge protection circuit board do?
A: The PCB (Printed Circuit Board) protection module monitors the lithium-ion cells and protects against overcharging, over-discharging, overcurrent, and short-circuit conditions. It is an essential safety component in any lithium-ion battery pack rebuild and helps extend the life of your cells.
Q: Is prior experience required to assemble this battery rebuild kit?
A: Yes. This product is intended strictly for individuals who are experienced with 18650 lithium-ion battery pack assembly, including voltage balancing, spot welding or soldering, and PCB wiring. Improper assembly of lithium-ion cells can be dangerous. If you are not confident in your technical abilities, please seek professional assistance.
