    Batteries are expensive. Probably less than $100 I'm not sure. I've got a bunch collected over the years when they come with the tools, so for me it was free. You can charge the battery with an inverter and Milwaukee also sells a way to charge them via USB.

    117 is still 117 regardless of humidity. :eek:

    There’s a point you reach when that doesn’t quite work out anymore.

    Not swift lol. And they allow idling over 70* degrees but I don’t personally see it necessary myself. Growing up in Orlando Florida my parents never used the ac. So I’m fairy happy and cool with just a fan. I’ll start the engine every 2 hours or so just to cool things down a bit. Or keep it on during the day if the trucks ac isn’t keeping up with the outside heat(like today in Reno Nevada) truck ac is at 60 but it’s Moreno like 80 something in the truck maybe.

    If you get them off the internet you might find them for under a hundred Milwaukee thinks a lot of their batteries I've seen them about 110 a few places.
