They could even tie in the new 64v system they’ve come out with and do 64Vx2 and easily have it be 120v AC via this Inverter pack.Īll of this remains to be seen, but DeWalt and Makita are taking chances with these systems and I’m all for it. All Makita needs to do is have an XGT box and it will be a massive tie in for all the various battery platforms they have. Interoperability will be the name of the game. If Dewalts new Powershift system is 120v like I suspect then Dealt is essentially duplicating Makita but upping the voltage.Īll this may seem foolish to us guys that work bu ourselves, in our sheds and small workshops, or on small crews, but massive maintenance and building contractors may have an incredible time with it. Milwaukee has their MX fuel system which is natively 72v, but this Connect X system will be able to offer that voltage via an XGTx2 adapter (there is an 80v brush cutter that this would be well suited for, and there are patents for such an adapter already). Black and Decker 20V to DeWalt 20V Battery Adapter. Black and Decker 20V to DeWalt 18V Battery Adapter. AEG 18V to DeWalt 20V Battery Adapter (Polypropylene) 74.99 USD. Think of it this way: if LXT is for general contractors and Advanced DIY/Prosumer types, and XGT is for heavy construction types, this is for the massive maintenance and bridge/skyscraper builders with massive crews. AEG 18V to DeWalt 20V Battery Adapter (ABS) 33.49 USD. But I think it’s a decent showing, especially as its really a one time cost with a modular battery platform and appropriate battery boxes. Is this a true corded companion? Not quite yet. The peak watts is 2800 and continuous is 1400, and it’s a pure sine wave 50 or 60hz.ġ400 watts may not be quite enough to run a table saw (maybe if it had a soft start installed like you can mod with the DeWalt Compact 8 1/4), but it can run quite a few other things. They’ve previously announced that later on this year they are releasing a PDC1500 with even more runtime, so it would likely offer a theoretical Hour and 20 minutes of runtime at the full watts. So with four 6ah you’d presumably get 20 minutes. It lists the LXT runtime for PDC01 as 10 minutes with two 6ah batteries, the minimal amount of batteries to have in the PDC01. The Inverter box is 16lbs without cords or the PDC01 or PDC1200 on top. Now onto the details, as per the instruction manual: 1400watt output power, 2800 peak is pretty good for it. It’s a start, and a rather robust one at that. Is this a stepping stone to dedicated LXT and XGT inverters? Maybe, but that’s besides the point. If Makita decides to release an XGT backpack that can incorporate 8ah batteries, then this will be even more robust. This is a ConnectX inverter, that through some complicated adapting can allow use of LXT batteries. There is even an upcoming 1500wh battery pack (releasing this year, I believe Tools and Stuff will do a video on it soon). When a battery is inserted into the Badaptor, the clip mechanism ensures it cannot be easily removed from the tool until the battery has been removed.I think in many respects this is like a Jackery with a modular power system. Once attached, simply slide the 18V battery into the Badaptor until a click is heard. Simple to use and easy to attach, the Milwaukee to Makita Badaptor clips securely into any Makita 18V tool with no movement. We believe it’s better to use one battery consistently than buy three or four that may barely see any use throughout their lifespan. In some cases, buying a Badaptor can be less than a third of the price of buying a new battery and charging station.Īlong with the cost-saving benefits, Badaptors enable you to get more from your batteries that may otherwise never see the light of day. Whether you’re a tradesman, DIY fanatic, or you just have different branded tools in your garage the Badaptor is something that will make your life easier, and save you money. Power tool battery adapters are a useful and important accessory for those who own battery-operated power tools. The Milwaukee to Makita Badaptor allows you to convert your existing 18V Milwaukee batteries for use with Makita 18V power tools, allowing you to use the Makita power tool range without having to buy a whole new battery system.
