   x2!!!!!
   I agree will you make a how to video on this??. Batteries are so expensive and its easier to get a hold of power tools with lithium. I would like to do this but im scared of frying the speed control.

   @princenick00
   Power tool batteries require the charger from the same company. The Milwaukee battery must use the Milwaukee charger.

   What type of charger do you use to charge those batteries?

   If you run the batteries in series, then you double the voltage. If you run the batteries in parallel, then you double the amp hours – which is the gas tank. The batteries are 1300 milliamphour packs alone, so in parallel they are 2600.
   I have a lot of the tools, so the cost is absorbed in those purchases – prices are close, but I have more access to these chargers. Run time is about 10 minutes of constant use.

    If your running two 12 volt batteries, is that not producing 24 volts? Even running them parallel still makes 24 volts, doesn’t it? And is it cheaper than hobby store lipo batteries? How long are your run times? thanks
