David how many amp hours were your Milwaukee batteries that only lasted a couple of hours?

If I buy any more electronics, I’m going to have to tow a barge that has a generator, and about 40 batteries.

Does anybody know if they make one with 10 AWG wires to connect to? And is this a good one from Amazon?

Update on the Milwaukee batteries.

I bought a 8.0 amp hour M18 battery and have used it 4 to 5 hours, it stills shows a 75% charge after that and takes very little time to recharge.
