Makita ADP05 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Cordless Power Source, Power Source Only

Nice and compact, and it connects to any Makita battery. Depending on the battery size, it can last for days charging a phone or laptop. It also has an on/off switch so you don’t waste battery!

Works good but is a little tight sliding on and off the battery

Recently I purchased a Makita 18v combo kit with a drill and impact driver. Since I only use my tools for home diy projects, I wanted to have another use for the batteries and hope a more constant use would help keep them cycled. For some reason these USB chargers are rarely seen at my local big box store and first heard about them from a review on the DeWalt version. Pricing is slightly cheaper on the Makita version, and has two USB ports which is a plus. First impressions is the build quality of the charger is nice, plastic feels like the same material as the power tools, if I can quote AvE it's a glassfiber reinforced plastic (don't quote me on that). The version I received has the USB ports sealed with a simple rubber cap and sliding on/off switch for the ports.The charger also has a belt clip that feels strong but I didn't use this. Honestly I think it would hold up to 5ah batteries, it's just too bulky to have in your belt and walk around. The figment was very tight to the Makita 5ah battery I tested, actually nice to see this since some brands have very loose connections. No issues removing or connecting the battery.I tested the charging with a 5ah battery on four bars (Makitas version of a full pack) but it was used on my impact for an hour or so, technically not 100% full. Charging my iPhone worked pretty quickly, I think the rate was the same as any wall charger or portable battery charger like those 10000mah packs.When I switched to charging my 4th gen iPad, the iPad was at 0% and took about two bars to charge the iPad. I was a bit surprised how much it took to charge the iPad but I think it's normal considering the 5ah pack has only a cell or more than those USB portable battery packs (correct me I'm wrong). If you only need a USB charger, Amazon has a few that are cheaper than buying this charger considering the cost of a Makita battery is at least $40.For everything that is presented on this product is 100% and going to keep this in my toolbox for charging, don't forget to pick up an extra cable for your phone as well.There is one call out which I have seen mentioned on other reviews is the risk of draining your battery too low. Some of the battery packs have logic that if the pack is entirely 0% charge it may register as faulty and no longer work. I haven't experienced this nor do I know Makita has this enabled but I recommend to only use this as a topping off charger for your phone.

If you have a bunch of Makita 18v lithium power tool batteries already, buying this is pretty much a no-brainer.Here's why: you can buy a dedicated USB power bank to charge your phone, but unless you buy a huge one you are not going to get anywhere near the same capacity as all those Makita 18v batteries you already own. You also know that the genuine Makita batteries you paid an absolute bloody fortune for are sturdy, well-built with good battery management/protection circuitry and high-quality cells, designed to handle very heavy power demands without failing. In other words, your existing Makita power tool batteries are likely going to be the best set of rechargeable batteries in your house, and you also already keep them charged up at all times because you want to be able to use your power tools.So if the power goes out or you are out on a job site somewhere with no power, you can flip a spare battery onto one of these adapters and juice up your phone or your tablet really easily. And when all you are doing is asking those batteries to charge a phone, they will last a very long time.The only place you wouldn't want to use these is somewhere where you want something small and discrete, you are not putting one of those huge honking batteries and this charger adapter attached to it in your pocket. They do give you a belt clip on one end, and if you have one of the smaller batteries I guess that would be ok, but with the chunky 5Ahr batteries I normally use, it looks kind of absurd. It is more something you lay on the floor or a table and then plug in your phone.It is typical Makita quality, seems solid and unlikely to fall apart soon. No USB-C ports on it, so you will need a USB-A cable for anything you want to plug into it. Nor does it have the power to recharge your laptop, this is a convenience charger for small electronics only.

If you or someone you know uses Makita cordless tools, then pick one of these up. I have been looking at this for a while now, and I’m very happy I purchased one. I like Makita because they boast the largest 18 volt cordless collection. They have several tools for every job. From busting concrete with one of their many hammer drills to making a cup of joe with the Makita coffee maker, that uses this adapter, while the Makita auto vac sweeps up the site for you. They've got you covered.I plan on using it while camping. No doubt it will get used when I forget to charge my phone and I’m stuck on site with no power.I also love the fact that there is an on off switch.Downside:Because the usb cover is one piece. I see that coming off and leaving you without either cover. I’d use tape to keep dirt out. Also, the belt clip seems a bit under done. Not sure I’d use it normally, but taking into consideration the weight of the batteries I don’t think it’s a viable carry option. They have however added a place to hook a lanyard on, so back on track.In conclusion I’m all for it. A wonderful expansion for the batteries you already have.

Works great only thing I would change add a usb-c port as well

Tengo más de 1 año co. Esté cargado y sigue dando guerra es perfecto para quienes trabajamos en construcción No te arrepentirás si lo compra hemano
