Why choose this adapter

• Your Makita 18V LXT battery and Hikoki 18V tools run at the same voltage, so the adapter changes the fitting rather than converting anything.
• Solid copper terminals, so less of the current is lost as heat.
• 5 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.
• Covered by a 12-month warranty from the day it arrives.

Makita 18V LXT and Hikoki 18V compatibility

It works in one direction only: Makita batteries powering Hikoki tools. For the opposite pairing, see adapters that run on Hikoki 18V batteries.

Compatibility can vary with the exact battery and tool model. Before ordering, confirm that your battery belongs to the Makita 18V LXT platform and that your tool takes Hikoki 18V batteries.

Important charging and safety information

This adapter is for powering cordless tools and nothing else. It cannot charge Makita or Hikoki batteries and must never be connected to a charger of any kind. Always take the battery out of the adapter before charging, and charge it on the original charger made for your Makita 18V LXT battery.
