There is no single charge time for an 18V Milwaukee battery. For Milwaukee M18 packs, the official charge time ranges from about 21 minutes to 241 minutes, depending mainly on the battery size/type and whether you use a standard, rapid, or super charger. (documents.milwaukeetool.com)
If you want one practical example: a very common M18 XC5.0 battery takes about 105 minutes on a standard charger, 60 minutes on a rapid charger, and 60 minutes on a super charger according to Milwaukee’s current chart. (documents.milwaukeetool.com)
The main engineering variables are:
Typical official full-charge times for common M18 batteries are:
From an electronics standpoint, this makes sense: larger packs store more energy, but Milwaukee also varies the allowed charge current by pack design and thermal capability. That is why charge time is not simply proportional to amp-hours in real use. Milwaukee’s chargers communicate with the battery to monitor cell voltage, temperature, and charge status, which lets the system charge aggressively when safe and slow down when necessary. (milwaukeetool.com)
Milwaukee’s newer high-performance ecosystem is clearly moving toward faster charging, especially with FORGE batteries and the M18 Dual Bay Simultaneous Super Charger. Milwaukee states that the FORGE XC6.0 can reach 80% in 15 minutes and 100% in 25 minutes on the super charger, and that the super charger can provide up to 6× faster charging to 80% on supported packs. (milwaukeetool.com)
This reflects an industry trend in cordless power tools: improved cell chemistry, better thermal design, smarter battery-management electronics, and active cooling to reduce downtime without sacrificing pack life. Milwaukee’s super charger also adds COOL-CYCLE cooling and adaptive charge distribution on its dual-bay model. (milwaukeetool.com)
Milwaukee notes that these are estimated charge durations based on testing at room temperature, and actual results can vary. (documents.milwaukeetool.com)
Their charger manual also states:
So, if your battery seems to be charging slowly right after hard use, that is often normal thermal protection rather than a fault. (documents.milwaukeetool.com)
From a safety standpoint, use the charger only with the intended Milwaukee M18 lithium-ion packs. Milwaukee’s manual explicitly warns to charge only MILWAUKEE M18 Li-Ion batteries in the compatible charger. This is mainly a safety and reliability issue, not just a performance issue.

To estimate your exact charge time:
A good “everyday” rule of thumb is:
If by “18V Milwaukee battery” you mean a specific M18 model, the answer can be much more precise. “18V” alone is not enough, because Milwaukee sells multiple M18 battery families with very different charging behavior. (documents.milwaukeetool.com)
If you want the exact number, provide:
With those two details, I can tell you the expected full-charge time much more accurately using Milwaukee’s official chart. (documents.milwaukeetool.com)
In short: an 18V Milwaukee M18 battery usually takes anywhere from about 21 minutes to 241 minutes to fully charge, depending on the battery and charger. For a common XC5.0, expect about 105 min on standard and 60 min on rapid/super. Newer FORGE packs can be much faster, with the FORGE XC6.0 charging in 25 min on Milwaukee’s super charger.

If you want, send me the exact battery label—for example CP2.0, XC5.0, XC8.0, or HD12.0—and your charger model, and I will give you the exact expected charge time.
