Makita power tool with a DeWalt battery? Milwaukee running on Makita 18V? Battery adapters for tools

[@ErnieSesameStreet]

Can one brand charger charge another brand battery with the adapter? Thank you

[@andreytarasov875]

Why you decided to buy Makita power tool? Did you compare Makita, DeWalt and Milwaukee? Tnx

[@russiansparky4194]

Honestly, I was always "eyeing" Makita becauea of my friends' recommendations, but did not want to start buying a whole new set of batteries and chargers. Plus, this kit was really cheap on Amazon - both cost me about $50.

For me, I do have a slight preference for Milwaukee (I started out needing a *really* beefy impact wrench, and there's simply no one anywhere close to Milwaukee in that power class. Thus I have the batteries). But frankly, I buy most of my power tools used - so I do my homework and strike on the right deal at the right time. So now I have Milwaukee some stuff, Makita some, Panasonic some and Hilti some. Milwaukee often takes an edge on terms of raw power, taking a beating and tolerating moisture, rain etc. Hilti (the real-deal bconcrete work stuff) is a totally different plane of being but so is the pricing. Makita and upper shelf Dewalt are both top class performers on most type tools - IMO often not quiite as meaty as the equipment Milwaukee but depending on your market, Makita might more than make up for that in being significantly more affordable. If you're a homegamer, DIY'er, apprentice or field pro that handle your tools with care, you'll rarely notice much difference when comparing roughly equivalent models and generations (power tool and battery tech development the last 5-7 years has been racing up and on so fast its crazy).

@@russiansparky4194 The AMAZON CHEAP Makita is either a bare tool that is refurbished ( used up ) or a fake... lotta knockemoffs online. One tells you to ONLY USE MAKITA BRAND BATTERIES... lol I view this as salvation for your older tools to use on tyour newer battery platform, but not when buying new stuff. Hit the second hand stores or Craigslist... I am selling locally only, a 4 piece Makita set for 150.00... I only need the other three tools that came in the giant set. Circular saw, jig saw....dont need em, already have the DeWalt in my newer kit

The adapter that you are seeing in the video: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GXKYTL8/ For others, search Google, eBay or Amazon for "x to y battery adapter", for example "Makita to DeWalt battery adapter". Try to find listings with pictures, because the sellers are all over the place with what they mention first in the listing - the tool, or the battery that the adapter accepts.

[@SLO_MZ3]

weird question but I saw a Makita dual 18v to one 36v adapter and was wondering if I used an adapter like you have to use two 12 Ah Dewalt batteries would this double the Ah

[@arguillen2418]

Hello, is it possible that tool or battery get fail for the combination? I have a Makita grinder and i have using a milwaukee battery 9Ah

[@Gruntled2001]

Sometimes the tools would have a built-in protection that won't let the batteries fully drain themselves, but most of the time it's the battery that will protect itself. If it runs, no issues. Never heard of either the tool or the battery suffering in any way from using these adapters.

The thing is, why getting an expensive tool, if you are not going to get the benefit, the adapters only connect positive and negative, their own batteries have some clircuit board that communicate to perform better, example, electronic, brake etc. You better save money using a lower price tool, it is a waste.

@@Gruntled2001 Be extra careful not to do too much grinding. The heat buildup will not be mitigated in this usage. LIGHT USE when no battery management is in play

after 1 year of using do you have any problems? about battery and driver

[@Gruntled2001]

Nope! None at all. The battery and the driver work great with this adapter

[@phillipkuntze137]

Any adapters out there I can run rigid tools with Milwaukee battery

[@PeterSimonsHumpus]

Do you still need a Makita charger to charge the battery? Or can you use the adapter on a Dewalt charger?

[@Gruntled2001]

Because it's a DeWalt battery, you can charge it using a DeWalt charger - no need for a Makita charger

[@STUPIDNESSPS3]

I wouldn't recommend using a different charger to change a different brand battery that could be dangerous without an understanding of how many amps each charger pushes and to what cells hopefully these products don't even let you do that

[@citylockapolytechnikeyllcc7936]

Doesn't this let you run the batteries too low, and kill them?

[@citylockapolytechnikeyllcc7936]

@Carlitos Morales YUP... I bought one of these, to use in my vintage RETRO-BRUSHED Makita tools. Works great.... battery goes back on the Pixielator after use. So handy not to have two battery systems, to handle the lesser used stuff.

[@RussellCambell]

Can you use the dewalt 60v in this?

[@dubiouslycrisp]

Probably. DeWalt's 20V lineup existed before FlexVolt and yet is compatible with it. If a tool isn't aware of FlexVolt's specialness, it looks like a 20V battery to the tool. So, if the adapter in the video is meant to work with 20V batteries and isn't aware of FlexVolt's specialness, I think the same logic applies. Granted, I haven't tested this exact configuration. Relatedly, I do have a DeWalt battery to Ryobi tool adapter, and yes it works with FlexVolt.
