Battery scam

You now can find generic M12 battery for sale now at a very good price. No Milwaukee label, but other wise looks like the original battery

In particular Milwaukee generic M12 battery.

Seller says he has a Milwaukee 2404 M12 equivalent battery for sale, which should be a 4.0 amp battery at 48W

He has a buy it now price, and is reasonable if that is a 4 amp battery.

I get the battery, and look on the bottom of the battery, and suspicious right away. If says 2402, 36W, that is 3 amp battery, a Milwaukee 2402 equivalent. I have been cheated, and I am pissed.

However, the battery has a big 4 on the side, and Milwaukee does put a big 4.0 on their 4 amp battery.

After I flash him as a scammed artist, all he does is says to send it back.

To check out a 4 amp battery, if a 12 ohm resister is placed across the 12v, it should draw 1 amp and if it is a 4 amp battery, it should provide 1 amp for 4 hours. Say this is a flash light, then it should light for 4 hours.

You know I am going to send it back.

Anyway, be sure you are getting what you think you should be getting.

This is the bogus battery. It all looks correct, but check things out to be sure.

Did he make a mistake? I doubt it, as he has sold 39 of these batteries.

I bought some aftermarket batteries on ebay for my cordless and my Canon camera. All of them failed pretty fast. I can't even trust when they have the manufacturer's name on them if they come from China because they've all counterfeit. I bought some new batteries direct from the manufacturer and they working great however there a lot more expensive. But why try to save money for something that's going to fail in a few weeks

I have found the best source of OEM batteries at Amazon. OEM for my cell was $59 at Verizon. Cheap Ray O Vac at Batteries plus was $39. Amazon OEM was $6.99 delivered.

Wow that is pretty confusing...at the bottom it says

Package include:
1 x Compatible Lithium-Ion Battery for Milwaukee 48-11-2402

The photo definitely is of an authentic Milwaukee XC 4.0 and the top text along sides reads

Generic for Milwaukee 48-11-2440 M12 Li-ion XC4.0 Extended Capacity Battery Pack


I see there are other photos for other sellers with a big 4 on Is that what you received?

XC batteries should have XC printed on them

It's a good thing you know the correct part numbers so you could tell the difference


Shoot even had HD do something similar to me a while ago sent me 1.5 ah 2401 when the advertised promo was for 2.0 ah 2420

From his ad what is new replacement then says not brand new then please see clearly.

This is why I've not done business on eBay.

I know many have done well. I've just seen and heard enough negative feedback that keeps me away. Read some information that makes me question their seller rating system as well.

The old adage "buyer beware" even applies to Amazon. Needed some 12 volt wiring supplies to put some power points on my motorcycle a while back. Found what I needed on Amazon. Added everything to my cart for a total of $28. Estimated shipping was $13!!! This was an "order fulfilled by Amazon" so I Googled the supplier represented. They had their own website. Same stuff added to the cart, estimated shipping was a reasonable $4 and change. Needless to say, I ordered direct and was not disappointed.

If the e-bay seller does not handle the return etc. to your satisfaction tell them you are going to give them negative feedback...with a notation that the item was "not as described"...

if it was a PayPal transaction they will make it right (to your satisfaction) even if the seller does not...
