00:00Midnight, my Makita drill wouldn't charge. Brand new pack, right voltage, still dead.
00:06Then I realized I'd been juggling 4 different battery ecosystems in one corner of my garage.
00:12So I hunted down the best deals on Makita 18V battery adapters every DIYer needs and every
00:17single one of these costs less than lunch. 018, first up is the weird genius one.
00:23This little dock lets your Makita 18V pack become a portable power supply,
00:28it clips in the pack and gives you a wire lead and a DC car lighter plug,
00:32so you can run a router, a work light, or even a small fridge off-grid.
00:36It's $7.77, and honestly it's the one I'd bet you'd never think to search for until you've
00:42wasted an entire battery doing it the hard way. 045, now this is the one that saves real money.
00:49It's a battery adapter that lets a Parkside 20V pack power your Makita 18V tools.
00:55So if you've got a bargain little drill you love, you don't have to keep buying a separate
00:59Makita battery for every new tool you buy, you just slide the pack into the adapter and
01:03it powers up. $10.16, almost 5,000 sold, and it turns two half-bought tool collections into
01:10one.
01:11110, this next one is for the rest of us who own way too many batteries from different brands.
01:17It takes Milwaukee M18 or DeWalt 20V packs and adapts them to fit Makita 18V tools.
01:23So those M18 batteries you've been hoarding? They can drive your Makita drill now.
01:29It's $8.21, and if you already have a pile of Milwaukee packs sitting there,
01:35this is basically free power. One honest note though, keep using the original charger for
01:40those packs, don't mix brands on a fast charger, and let them cool before you swap them.
01:45136, here's the cheap fix for the charger problem.
01:49This connector terminal adapter lets you use a charger terminal with BL1830, BL1815, BL1430,
01:56BL1415, BL1845, or BL1460 packs so you can charge with a charger you already own or rescue a pack
02:04whose connector got mangled. It's the cheapest one here at $4.84, and for what it does,
02:10it's basically a no-brainer. Check your terminal type matches before you buy,
02:15that's the only thing that can go wrong. 2 o'clock, last one flips the whole idea around.
02:21This adapter lets your Makita 18V batteries run little Parkside X20V tools instead of the other
02:26way around, so if you've decided the Makita side of your garage is the keeper, you can still use your
02:31Parkside tools without dropping another $100 on proprietary packs.
02:36$7.89, adapter only, no battery included. I like it because it makes you the boss of your own
02:43battery shelf. $2.25, alright, that's the whole lineup all 5 links are in the description,
02:49and prices move, so grab them while they're cheap. If this saved you from buying a whole new battery,
02:55hit like, and subscribe so I can keep hunting down the deals that actually matter.
