Makita 18V LXT and Porter Cable 20V compatibility
It works in one direction only: Makita batteries powering Porter Cable tools. For the opposite pairing, see adapters that run on Porter Cable 20V batteries.

Important charging and safety information
This adapter is for powering cordless tools and nothing else. It cannot charge Makita or Porter Cable batteries and must never be connected to a charger of any kind.
