What Battery Does the Milwaukee 2767-20 Use?
The Milwaukee 2767-20 M18 FUEL High Torque 1/2″ Impact Wrench runs on the Milwaukee M18 18V battery platform. Any Milwaukee M18 REDLITHIUM battery will power this tool, though high-output batteries are strongly recommended for this high-demand application.
About the Milwaukee 2767-20

Recommended Battery
For the 2767-20, the 48-11-1860 (6.0Ah) High Output battery is the top choice. This impact wrench draws significant current during nut-busting operations, and the high-output cells deliver sustained power without voltage sag. For all-day automotive work — removing lug nuts, suspension bolts, and axle nuts — the 6.0Ah pack ensures consistent performance.
Minimum Battery
The 48-11-1830 (3.0Ah) is the practical minimum for the 2767-20. While smaller batteries will physically fit and run the tool, the high torque demands will drain compact packs very quickly and may not deliver full nut-busting torque. For occasional light fastening only, a 3.0Ah will suffice, but step up to 5.0Ah or higher for regular use.
Battery Compatibility Notes
- All M18 REDLITHIUM batteries are compatible, but High Output packs are strongly recommended for this tool
- High Output batteries deliver more sustained current, which directly impacts nut-busting performance
- M18 batteries are NOT compatible with M12 tools or older V18 tools
- Keep a spare charged battery on hand — impact wrenches consume battery faster than most M18 tools
