ALWAYS READY
TO JUMP
Nothing kills bay throughput faster than
a flat battery stranded in the parking
lot. Traditional lead-acid jump boxes can
take 8 hours to charge, demand weekly maintenance, and lose punch when
temperatures drop. Milwaukee’s new
M18™ HOTSHOT™ Jump Starter flips that
script by pairing capacitor technology
with any M18™ REDLITHIUM™ battery. The
result: up to 70 starts on a single XC5.0
pack and full “jump-ready” status in under 70 seconds.

1. Power on HOTSHOT™.
2. Charge capacitors (auto-fills in < 70 sec).
3. Clamp positive & negative posts—reverse-polarity protection keeps sparks at bay.
4. Hit JUMP—display counts down from 30 sec.
5. Crank engine immediately; HOTSHOT™ disengages when voltage stabilizes.
REAL-WORLD ROI
Milwaukee built HOTSHOT™ alongside roadside-assist fleets, diesel
techs, and dealership PDI teams. By eliminating roll-around boosters,
shops regain floor space and slash tow-in costs for no-start customers. Add the ability to share batteries with more than 250 M18™
tools and the economics sharpen even further.
FIELD TEST: FREIGHTLINER RESCUE
At -2 °F, the service crew at Clover Fleet Maintenance faced a no-start 6.7L diesel sprinter packed for
deliveries. HOTSHOT™ reached 100% charge in 43 seconds, delivered the full 2,000A hit, and the van lit
instantly—saving an hour of idling tow time and keeping 23 packages on schedule.
BOTTOM LINE
If your bay still leans on aging jump carts—or worse, waits on a wrecker—Milwaukee’s M18™ HOTSHOT™
is the fastest upgrade you can bolt onto the wall charger. One battery, one minute, and your techs are
back to the profitable work.
