Which tools are suitable for Makita batteries

Comparison of Makita G series and LXT batteries

In appearance, it is very easy to distinguish them. The G series batteries are distinguished by their design and the top section is painted in white or gray. Compared to Ni-MH and Ni-Cd batteries, they offer the same benefits of lithium-ion technology. This is several times higher energy density, low self-discharge, the possibility of long-term storage and low weight with a comparable capacity. Makita G-series units can be charged at any time without worrying about the “memory effect”, they are also protected from shocks.

charged only with a special charger, the minimum charging time is 1 hour

charged only with a special charger, the minimum charging time is 22 minutes

Thus, Makita has significantly expanded its market niche by making high quality power tools more affordable for a wide range of consumers. Its assortment is also extensive. The Makita G-series product line includes drills, screwdrivers, a universal Combo KIT, an impact tool. There are also garden units in this nomenclature. a brush cutter and grass trimmer, as well as a vacuum cleaner. It can be expected that this offer from Makita will be in demand in other solutions as well.

G-series: Makita G series tools and batteries

Makita introduces a new range of lithium-ion batteries to power its tools. Makita G-series. Budget price, professional quality! The product line in this series includes:

  • battery blocks BL1413G and BL1813G with voltage of 14.4 and 18 volts, respectively, and with a capacity of 1.3 Ah;
  • adapted charger DC18WA;
  • power tool designed to accommodate Makita G-series batteries.

It should be borne in mind that the structurally new units are not compatible with the lithium-ion batteries produced by Makita using the LXT technology, therefore, when purchasing the tool, pay attention to the Battery Type specification.

Electric screwdriver battery adapter: connecting incompatible brands (Makita, DeWALT, Milwaukee)

Surely many have come across the fact that the batteries of one brand do not fit the power tool of another brand. Although the supply voltage and general characteristics are the same, many manufacturers protect their property and implement protection in the form of incompatible connection pads, special sleds and locks, as well as due to different positions of the power contacts. So, using the example of the Makita tool, I will show how you can use batteries from DeWALT and Milwaukee.

The very idea of ​​using old batteries for new “carcasses” of the instrument is not new. And homemade (and remanufactured) batteries are popular among enthusiasts. I often see cases of purchases of power tools for shares in a complete set “without a battery”, the so-called. “Carcass”, for which you then have to purchase expensive original batteries or look for some other way out. Not so long ago I had an article about available adapters and converters for power tool batteries, I decided it would be convenient to clearly demonstrate the operation of such an adapter using the example of the Makita DM18M, the appearance of which is shown in the photo below.

Such converters are popular for several reasons. Firstly, this is the availability of an old instrument for Ni-CD, Ni-Mh models. As a rule, there are many such tools, they have already worked out their own and you can take such a set for ridiculous money. But batteries that have worked for several years, as a rule, become completely unusable. Rebuilding batteries is quite costly, they usually resort to installing a BMS controller and lithium cells of the 18650 or 21700 type inside the case. Such a move is usually welcomed by DIYers and diyvayers. And secondly, there is a wide variety of cordless tools from first-tier brands: Makita, Bosch, Ryobi, Dewolt, Milwaukee. And this whole zoo needs to be docked somehow. And, given that there is also a non-original tool for the batteries of the listed brands, the task becomes more complicated. Specific inexpensive options for a compatible tool in the article: “How to choose a tool on Aliexpress: what you need to pay attention to first”.

This DM18M adapter copies the Makita 18V battery docking part and has a similar slide and contact block. A large button is used to remove from the body of the tool, like the original battery.

The kit includes a simple but clear instruction for using the adapter.

The layout resembles a battery, or rather, the upper part for a Makita tool (or compatible), and the lower part allows connecting batteries from DeWALT or Milwaukee.

There is a sticker with the DM18M (Makita) marking, as well as indicating the maximum (20V) and operating voltage (18V). On the reverse side there is a power contact group (“plus” and “minus”).

Of the features, I will single out the presence of a USB adapter for powering gadgets. That is, you can always charge your smartphone, if necessary, from the battery with the adapter installed.

Conventional dimensions. length 100 mm (approximately), height 4 cm, taking into account the lock. When assembled, this adapter slightly increases the size of the battery, but not much. You can work with such an adapter.

The adapter adds virtually no extra weight to the instrument.

To assess the “internals” I suggest disassembling this adapter.

Inside is a small board with a DC-DC converter (low-power,

0.5A) for the USB output, and wires are routed to the contact group (plus “red” and minus “black”). The terminals for connecting the instrument contacts are made in the form of springs, similar to the original batteries.

The adapter reset button is spring-loaded, undocked easily, like the native Makita battery.

This is how the DM18M adapter bundle looks like plus the battery together. Please note that the overall size has slightly increased in height (by about 2 cm).

In the end, I connected it to a good impact drill, bought on Ali for a modest 40 (a detailed review of the drill).

The adapter sits on the tool until it clicks, without any remarks. The battery holds tolerably well (there is a slight backlash). Assembly weight is almost the same as without adapter (battery is heavy, drill is heavy, adapter is light, less than 80 g).

For example, a Makita 18V battery (left) and a DM18M adapter nearby (right). As you can see, the battery contact group is organized in a similar way.

Contact block angle grinder (right) and adapter DM18M (left).

Thus, one battery can power and use a whole “zoo” of tools.

There are two important points to keep in mind when using the adapter. The adapter does not allow you to control the battery charge and does not perform protection functions (there is no cutoff for current, overload, temperature, etc.). It is possible to completely drop the battery “to zero”. And also do not install this adapter on power battery equipment such as large angle grinders, circular saws, which require increased current output from the battery and can cause overheating of the contact group. The power tool is designed to work with original batteries (type 9.0Ah, 12.0Ah). But this adapter is suitable for use with screwdrivers and similar tools. Including in conjunction with non-original batteries and non-original tools. Quite saving.

Batteries for Makita 12 volt price

When carrying out construction, repair, finishing and other work, many operations have to be performed in the absence of an electrical network, in a confined space or in hard-to-reach places. In such cases, it is most convenient to use battery-powered tools.

But not all rechargeable batteries are suitable for specific types of equipment. For example, a Makita 12 V battery is most suitable for metal scissors, drills, hammer drills and wrenches.

Makita 12 volt batteries: autonomous operation with high efficiency

Makita 12-volt batteries are available in Nickel-Cadmium, Lithium and Nickel-Metal Hydride. Each of these autonomous power supplies has its own characteristics.

Makita Ni-Cd batteries are distinguished by the fact that they charge quickly, even if they have been stored for a long time. They also have a significant number of discharge and subsequent charging cycles (about 1,000). The device can be operated at low temperatures, while it does not lose its load capacity and the declared capacity, which is 1.3-1.9 amperes / hour. The disadvantages of Ni-Cd batteries include the relatively high level of self-charging and the toxicity of the materials used. Nickel-metal hydride batteries, which are increasingly used in recent years, have a higher capacity compared to cadmium devices (2.6 to 2.8 ampere / hour). Note that Ni-MH and Ni-Cd autonomous power supplies are similar, since their characteristics and discharge capacity depend on the nickel oxide electrode.

Note that today Li-Ion batteries for the Makita electric screwdriver 12 volts are in demand, since they have a fairly high capacity indicator (up to 3 amperes / hour).

The scope of the tool is wide and it has a place in any home. However, due to its narrow specialization, it does not always make sense for every person to buy it. Wrenches Makita will definitely fit :

Owners of small home workshops will also be pleased with the new purchase.

When using such a weapon, physical strength is minimized. Therefore, wrenches are also relevant for beautiful halves. If a woman often has to tinker and fix around the apartment, such a power tool should be in the inventory.

Material or basic technical characteristics of the electric nutrunner

Wrenches by class are divided into amateur, semi-professional and professional. This division is relative, the difference between them lies in the strength of the torque and wear resistance (necessary in professional activities).

By type of work, electric nutrunners are :

Shock perform tasks more efficiently. Power tool trends show shockless devices are a thing of the past.

Makita designers offer more and more battery models. They do an excellent job in a domestic environment and crowd out network wrenches in enterprises.

Basic characteristics of the electric nutrunner. which affect the useful technical capabilities of the tool are as follows:

Torque is measured in newtonometers (Nm) and shows how hard the device works. Today Makita offers products in Ukraine with a torque of 22 to 1050 Nm.

The range of application indicates which bolt diameters the wrench can handle. For example, the instructions for Makita DTW 281 Z say that it fits standard M10 – M20 bolts or M10 – M16 fasteners with increased torque.

Power for network models ranges from 0.28 to 1.3 kW. The battery uses Li. Ion batteries from 7.2 to 18 V in various capacities. This indicator plays a secondary role and is critical in cases with problems with overloading the power grid or rapid discharge of batteries during autonomous operation.

Ergonomics and weight affect the comfort and speed of hand fatigue.

Advantages of Makita Li-ion batteries.

Anyone who uses a cordless power tool wants a powerful and as lightweight device as possible. Experts of the world-famous Japanese company Makita, taking into account the wishes of consumers, have created a new generation of batteries for their own power tools. Many well-known nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) and nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH) batteries have been replaced by more advanced batteries. lithium-ion Li.

There are several of them. Firstly, unlike previous generation batteries, each Li. ion battery cell provides 3.6 V (instead of 1.2 V), which is three times more than the previous one. As a result, the weight of the battery is reduced by 40%. People who have to work with a power tool for a long time will certainly appreciate this. now they have to hold a device in their hands, which has become almost twice as lighter. Also, the overall dimensions of the batteries have changed. they have become smaller, which means that it will be much more convenient to work with it. At the same time, Li-ion batteries are able to fully satisfy the increased needs of a powerful modern electric tool. their capacity is equal to the maximum capacity of Ni-MH batteries and is 3.0 Ah !

Secondly, thanks to the use of Li. ion technology in new batteries there is no “memory effect” at all. This means that you can charge the battery at any time, regardless of its state of charge. Now you can not follow her at all. we went out for lunch, put the battery on charge.

The third advantage is the use in the Li line. ion tool of the revolutionary Makstar technology. Each battery is equipped with a special built-in chip, the main task of which is to record all data: the number of discharges and charges, capacity, intensity of battery use and some others. Subsequently, this information is transmitted to the charger, based on it, he chooses the most optimal charging conditions. voltage, current, degree of cooling. All this allows to significantly reduce the battery charging time. now it is equal to 30-60 minutes (depending on the type of battery)! In addition, the Makstar technology greatly extends the Li’s service life. ion battery, which now accounts for 280% of the life of Ni-Cd batteries. In comparison, Ni-MH batteries have a lifespan of only 130%.

Fourth, Li. Makita ion batteries feature minimal discharge during long-term storage. This means you don’t have to worry about recharging them. over, to store Li. ion batteries can be used even at minimum charge.

In addition to all of the above, it should be noted that the new Makita batteries have a more durable case, which absorbs shocks and shocks, and a multi-pin mount (16 contacts), which ensures high reliability of the electrical connection and the minimum likelihood of power loss during vibration.

Today there are two types of Li on the Russian market. ion battery from Makita. 18 V and 14.4 V with 3.0 Ah. They can be used to work with various types of handheld power tools. screwdrivers, screwdrivers, hammer drills, band saws, circular saws, reciprocating saws and other modern Makita devices. over, the 14.4-volt batteries are suitable for any Makita 14.4-volt Li-ion tools. and 18-volt, respectively, to any 18-volt Li-ion Makita tools.

How to charge the battery of a Makita electric screwdriver

The autonomy of power tools is ensured by a rechargeable battery. Having replenished the capacity from the power source (outlet), it transfers energy to the device. To carry out repair work without interruptions, it is necessary to monitor the battery charge level. How to charge the battery for a Makita screwdriver and how to extend the life of the energy storage will be discussed in the article.

Detailed instructions for charging the battery of an electric screwdriver

Each Makita screwdriver comes with a battery and charger. It is with the help of this charger that the charge of the drive is replenished. The entire recharging process can be divided into several steps:

  • Removing the battery. To remove the battery from the electrical equipment, you must press the cell fixing button (located on the battery pack) and remove the drive forward.
  • Charger connection. Before charging the battery of your Makita electric screwdriver, connect the charger to a power source. A flashing green light will ensure that the device is ready for use.
  • Installing the battery. When you are convinced of the normal functioning of the charger, you can install a battery in it. To do this, insert the element all the way in accordance with the designations “” and “-“.

The indicator, which will glow continuously in red, will indicate that the charging process has started. As soon as the light turns green (without blinking), you can remove the battery from the device. It should be removed even if the indicator blinks red. This indicates overheating of one of the elements (charger or battery) or equipment failure.

The time to fully recharge the charge depends on the type of drive. Thus, a lithium-ion household battery gains 100% energy in about 1-1.5 hours. A nickel-cadmium cell equipped with the same capacity will be charged for 6-7 hours. The approximate charging time for each specific storage component is indicated in the technical data sheet of the electrical appliance.

Practical tips for using the drive

For the correct functioning of an electric screwdriver and prolonging the life of its battery, remember the following rules:

  • First charge (before using the equipment for the first time, be sure to charge its storage component to the 100% mark);
  • Storage (in case of long-term non-use, keep nickel-cadmium cells practically discharged, nickel-metal hydride cells 100% charged, lithium-ion cells 50% discharged);
  • Replacement of the element (in case of frequent overheating of the battery, it is recommended to replace it with a new one);
  • Compatible equipment (use only compatible charger for charging).

In addition, do not forget to watch the charge indicator and remove the source when reaching 100% of the energy level. These simple tips will not make your appliance last forever, but will greatly extend it.

Inexpensive non-original tool for the Makita 18V battery

What if you want a good, masculine instrument, and the budget is limited? Enough only for an electric screwdriver, but the rest? Don’t worry, there is a great way to expand your home tool range.!

First of all, when choosing a power tool, you should decide on the charging system, that is, choose the type of charger and batteries. Usually the choice is between 12V (10.8V options) or 18V (they can also write 20V or 21V). There are other options, but this is more exotic than a real need. 12V instrument is lightweight, handy, relatively low-powered. Usually used as a home, mobile, for high-altitude work or as a special tool. But the tool with 18V (20V) batteries is a real universal one, with excellent power, this is the choice of professionals for serious work. Well, at home, he will not be superfluous. We decided on the voltage, choose the brand (company) of the batteries. As a rule, all brands have one instrument line for 12V, one for 18V. There are other types: 14.4V. the legacy of Ni-Cd batteries, 40V. dual batteries for powering powerful devices, such as electric chain saws or circular saws. But inside the line, for example, at 18V, all the carcasses of the instrument are compatible with the battery. Now the most important thing: by purchasing a charger once and at least one battery, you will be able to use any tool from this line.

Immediately I give links to the tool in the review: charger, batteries, screwdriver, wrench, angle grinder, and so on. Everything is excellent. modern brushless instruments with a controller in the carcass, with a metal gear (no silumin and plastic in loaded mechanisms). A tool from the “cost-effective” series, that is, price / quality, decent for your money.

First of all, a universal mains charger (szu) was chosen for the Makita 14.4V-18V batteries. This is a non-original szu, which is completely copied from the original, down to the smallest detail. I understand that the original Makita is made in China, and the Chinese engineers have full design documentation, otherwise where are these copies and coincidences.

Specifications: Model: DC18RC for Makita lithium battery 14.4V-18V Type: wall charger Power: 75W Input: 120V AC, 50-60HZ Result: 7.2V-18V / 14.4V-18V Charging method: CC-CV Charging time: not more than 1.2 hours.

The packaging is simple. nothing says about the brand.

Of the important. the instructions describe the charging modes for various types of batteries, as well as a decoding of the indication.

Charging localized, EU plug, voltage “our”.

An interesting point. there is a USB output for recharging the smartphone.

Battery slot. universal, with protection.

There is a nameplate below, the available voltages are spelled out (7.2. 18V).

But the battery itself, which was purchased from the links above.

The simplest and cheapest compatible battery with Makita (18V). Construction, slide, lock. all match.

We insert the battery into the sz by the slide.

We charge according to the instructions. The indication is rather complicated. this is all due to the versatility of the device. But the basic indication is made “like everyone else”: there is a battery failure (for example, due to temperature), the charging process, the end of the charge.

We leave it for an hour, this is not a fast high-current charging, it does not kill the batteries, but it charges itself normally.

A few words about the carcass on which I tested everything. This is a good wrench that can be used to work with metal structures, for tire fitting, for construction work (anchors, installation, etc.). Its price is ridiculous

Standard seat. for 1/2 “socket heads. Suitable for standard equipment, heads, extensions, etc.

The carcass has a built-in indication of the operating mode and battery charge.

An inexpensive tool kit is ready to work))))

Just compare the cost of the original Makita nutrunner (follow the link carcass, without battery).

Everything was tested personally. the wheel was unscrewed, after replacement. all the bolts were installed back with a wrench. For reliability, I checked it with my hands (knob) and a torque wrench. Everything is within the normal range.

As the saying goes, if there is no difference, why pay more. The tool is suitable for those who know how to count money.

In my opinion, this is the most pleasant purchase. a wrench for

1500 rubles, for the same money, a battery and a charger. Of course, if you already have a Makita 18V kit, then all the fun will cost you incomparably cheaper.!
