A:  Consult with the manufacturer.

A:  No it does not

A:  There is a button to lock/unlock the activation of the saw. You can see it above the handle toward the front, it is black.

A:  5 amp hours is 5 amp hours no matter what the branding is. It isn't going to last any longer.

A:  It will work with the entire line of the Milwaukee M18 batteries. I’m no battery expert, but there are different amp hour battery capacities (3Ah-12Ah, I think) and chemistries (lithium ion, red lithium (RL), RL XC, RL HD, etc) in their battery line to help improve performance in their higher power draw tools. For the jigsaw, as long as it’s a Milwaukee M18 battery, you are good to go. The length of run time will depend on the Ah size of the battery. 

A:  Yes

A:  It works, 

A:  Hi Dan- This tool is compatible with all M18 batteries.
