Milwaukee Tool has launched the Milwaukee Power Manager for 15-amp and 20-amp circuits. The company said it’s a smart power solution engineered to boost charging performance and reduce downtime.
Designed to support more chargers on a single circuit, the Power Manager prevents overloads and helps professionals avoid costly infrastructure upgrades, according to Milwaukee Tool.
“The Power Manager empowers professionals to fully maximize their charging capabilities. It also prevents tripped breakers and avoids the need for costly infrastructure upgrades,” explained Jake Van Wormer, Group Manager of Product Marketing at Milwaukee Tool. “These features not only offer an uninterrupted workflow but peace of mind for the user.”
Smart Circuit Management
Optimized for Milwaukee’s M12, M18, and MX FUEL platforms, the Milwaukee Power Manager allows more chargers to run simultaneously. The company said this eliminates the need to swap battery packs as each one finishes charging.
The system uses power switching to energize the maximum number of outlets without exceeding circuit capacity, Trelleborg explained. It continually monitors each outlet’s power draw and activates additional outlets as power becomes available. This helps charge multiple batteries over extended periods, especially during overnight sessions.
For faster results during the workday, users can prioritize high-speed chargers, reducing wait times and keeping tools in operation.
Features and Installation
Customization is built in with a power throttle feature that adjusts the total power draw. This allows users to allocate available power to meet additional circuit demands when necessary, the company said.
Each unit includes 12 NEMA 5-15 outlets with individual indicator lights to show outlet status at a glance. For integration on the job site or in the shop, the Power Manager features hang holes for wall-mounting and is compatible with Milwaukee’s PACKOUT modular storage system.
