Milwaukee 18V to Hikoki 18V Battery Adapter

Use your Milwaukee M18 batteries on Hikoki 18V cordless tools, without buying into a second battery platform. Voltage is not the obstacle here — both sides are 18V. The socket is, and that is what this solves. Constructed from durable molded ABS with pure copper contacts, for a secure fit and dependable current transfer. This helps you get the most out of your existing battery system while avoiding the cost of another set of batteries and chargers.

Why choose this adapter

• Your Milwaukee M18 battery and Hikoki 18V tools run at the same voltage, so the adapter changes the fitting rather than converting anything.
• Injection-moulded ABS, not 3D printed — no layer lines to split under load.
• 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.

Milwaukee M18 and Hikoki 18V compatibility

It works in one direction only: Milwaukee 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 Milwaukee M18 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 Milwaukee 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 Milwaukee M18 battery.
