In August 2024, an independent YouTube investigation demonstrated that Milwaukee M18 batteries store hundreds of bytes of hidden diagnostic data. These logs include over 50 different statistics, such as counts of over-current events, over-temperature events, cell voltage imbalances with millivolt precision, low-voltage cutoffs, total discharge statistics, total charge time, time on charger whilst full, etc. The data can be accessed through undocumented serial commands but is not disclosed in user manuals.<ref name="TSYT">{{Cite web |date=2025-09-13|author=Tool Scientist|title=Full M18 diagnostics revealed |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHj0-Gzvbeo |url-status=live |website=YouTube}}</ref> | In August 2024, an independent YouTube investigation demonstrated that Milwaukee M18 batteries store hundreds of bytes of hidden diagnostic data.
