The top of this battery adapter is compatible with Makita 18V Li-Ion cordless power tool.Type: Dewalt/Milwaukee Battery Converter Adapter.If you need to charge the power tool battery, please use the original battery charger. Attention:The battery adapter cannot be used for charging.Multi-protected safety system ensures complete protection for you and your devices. Safety & Reliable: Complies with FCC RoHS and CE safety testing standards.They could even tie in the new 64v system they’ve come out with and do 64Vx2 and easily have it be 120v AC via this Inverter pack.Īll of this remains to be seen, but DeWalt and Makita are taking chances with these systems and I’m all for it. All Makita needs to do is have an XGT box and it will be a massive tie in for all the various battery platforms they have. Interoperability will be the name of the game. If Dewalts new Powershift system is 120v like I suspect then Dealt is essentially duplicating Makita but upping the voltage.Īll this may seem foolish to us guys that work bu ourselves, in our sheds and small workshops, or on small crews, but massive maintenance and building contractors may have an incredible time with it. Milwaukee has their MX fuel system which is natively 72v, but this Connect X system will be able to offer that voltage via an XGTx2 adapter (there is an 80v brush cutter that this would be well suited for, and there are patents for such an adapter already). Think of it this way: if LXT is for general contractors and Advanced DIY/Prosumer types, and XGT is for heavy construction types, this is for the massive maintenance and bridge/skyscraper builders with massive crews. But I think it’s a decent showing, especially as its really a one time cost with a modular battery platform and appropriate battery boxes. Is this a true corded companion? Not quite yet. The peak watts is 2800 and continuous is 1400, and it’s a pure sine wave 50 or 60hz.ġ400 watts may not be quite enough to run a table saw (maybe if it had a soft start installed like you can mod with the DeWalt Compact 8 1/4), but it can run quite a few other things. They’ve previously announced that later on this year they are releasing a PDC1500 with even more runtime, so it would likely offer a theoretical Hour and 20 minutes of runtime at the full watts. So with four 6ah you’d presumably get 20 minutes. It lists the LXT runtime for PDC01 as 10 minutes with two 6ah batteries, the minimal amount of batteries to have in the PDC01. The Inverter box is 16lbs without cords or the PDC01 or PDC1200 on top. Now onto the details, as per the instruction manual: 1400watt output power, 2800 peak is pretty good for it. It’s a start, and a rather robust one at that. Is this a stepping stone to dedicated LXT and XGT inverters? Maybe, but that’s besides the point. If Makita decides to release an XGT backpack that can incorporate 8ah batteries, then this will be even more robust. This is a ConnectX inverter, that through some complicated adapting can allow use of LXT batteries. There is even an upcoming 1500wh battery pack (releasing this year, I believe Tools and Stuff will do a video on it soon). I think in many respects this is like a Jackery with a modular power system.
