{"product_id":"makita-18v-to-dewalt-18v-nicad-battery-adapter","title":"Makita 18V to DeWalt 18V (Ni-Cd) Battery Adapter","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis adapter lets you power DeWalt 18V Ni-Cd cordless tools with the Makita 18V LXT batteries you already own. Both run at 18V, so the adapter changes the fitting and not the voltage. The molded ABS housing keeps it light and hard-wearing, and pure copper contacts keep current delivery steady. It keeps one battery platform serving more tools, which costs less than buying into another.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSKU\u003c\/b\u003e PTA-MAK18-DWM18\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFits this battery\u003c\/b\u003e Makita 18V LXT (Lithium-Ion)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBattery voltage\u003c\/b\u003e 18V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eRuns these tools\u003c\/b\u003e DeWalt 18V Ni-Cd (Nickel-Cadmium)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTool voltage\u003c\/b\u003e 18V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHousing\u003c\/b\u003e ABS (Injected)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTerminals\u003c\/b\u003e Copper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCurrent rating\u003c\/b\u003e 40A continuous (80A peak at 18VDC for up to 2 seconds)720 Watt continuous at 18V nominal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eInternal wiring\u003c\/b\u003e 5 mm²\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWeight\u003c\/b\u003e 136 g (4.8 oz \/ 0.3 lb)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eColour\u003c\/b\u003e Black, Blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eOperating humidity\u003c\/b\u003e 5–95% RH\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eOperating temperature\u003c\/b\u003e -10 °C to 50 °C (14 °F to 122 °F)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eUSB port\u003c\/b\u003e No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWhat's in the box\u003c\/b\u003e Battery adapter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWarranty\u003c\/b\u003e 12 months after the date of delivery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eRevision\u003c\/b\u003e Revision 01 (released on October 9, 2021)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy choose this adapter\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYour Makita 18V LXT battery and DeWalt 18V Ni-Cd tools run at the same voltage, so the adapter changes the fitting rather than converting anything.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInjection-moulded ABS, not 3D printed — no layer lines to split under load.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid copper terminals, so less of the current is lost as heat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 mm² internal wiring, rated for 40A continuous with 80A peak at 18VDC for up to 2 seconds, so a high-draw tool is not held back by the adapter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovered by a 12-month warranty from the day it arrives.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMakita 18V LXT and DeWalt 18V Ni-Cd compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt works in one direction only: Makita batteries powering DeWalt tools.
