About this deal
There are very few battery platforms that are truly universal, with each tool manufacturer using their own unique battery ports and connections.
Makita 18-20V Battery Adapter Badaptor – DeWalt to Makita 18-20V Battery Adapter
It’s less expensive than a new battery, works well with Makita batteries, has a solid connection, and is generally useful to have. Power tool battery adapters are a useful and important accessory for those who own battery-operated power tools. Our innovative battery adapters offer a cost-effective solution, enabling you to effortlessly merge batteries from one brand with power tools from another. It’s a simple idea, designed and manufactured in the UK, and I can now use my Makita LXT batteries on my Ryobi equipment, saving me money on new Ryobi batteries.When a battery is inserted into the Badaptor, the clip mechanism ensures it cannot be easily removed from the tool until the battery has been removed. So I am a cheap azz that doesn't want to introduce a new battery platform on my shelf just for one tool. Whilst this combination works just great, I was increasingly finding it cumbersome to lug the compressor/hose/extension to wherever I needed to nail something. It did fit my Ryobi brad nailer just fine and I was able to use my Bosch professional batteries with it.
