Problem & Solution
Working on active jobsites, in remote workshops, or during sudden home power outages often leaves you stranded with dead mobile devices. Standard power banks run out of charge quickly and take hours to replenish, leaving you cut off from critical communications, work orders, or emergency contacts when you need them most.
This USB and Type-C battery adapter solves the problem instantly by tapping into the massive power stored inside your existing Makita 18V LXT lithium-ion batteries. Simply slide this adapter onto a spare battery, and you immediately convert heavy-duty power tool energy into a high-capacity portable charging station for phones, tablets, and LED lights.
Beyond fast device charging, the adapter features an integrated clip design that lets you mount the unit to your tool belt or wall panel. At a fraction of the cost of dedicated portable power stations, it gives your spare power tool batteries a valuable second life and keeps your electronics running anywhere.
