It’s also a PACKOUT product meaning that it can connect and stack onto other PACKOUT products like their tool boxes and such.

One ace up its sleeve is that besides the PACKOUT functionality is that this new charger has a USB port to charge your mobile devices and has a slot on the front to conveniently hold a phone while it charges.

My thoughts:

This charger may seem like the perfect charger for someone that needs a charger that can charge up to 6 M18 batteries, doesn’t need to charge M12 batteries, can rapid charge, and can also charge more than one battery at a time. However in my opinion, the fact that it can only charge two batteries at a time is the biggest downside. In my opinion, the Rapid Charge Station is quite possibly the superior Milwaukee charger in that it can also hold up to 6 batteries, is a rapid charger, and can charge up to 3 batteries at once, and is priced less at the time of writing but the trade off is that it can hold up to 3 M18 batteries while the other 3 bays are for M12.

I do like that unlike most 6 bay chargers, this Packout charger can charge two batteries at a time, one on each side, while the others wait their turn to be charged sequentially. And we gotta’ give Milwaukee props for adding the PACKOUT functionality for some slick integration with their storage solutions.
