Tasteslikemetal Posted October 28, 2020 Report Share Posted October 28, 2020 Hello all, new here and was in need of some help. Does an adapter exist for my older stem style 12v Max tool to use the newer slip-on style CXT batteries. just trying to keep these guys going a little longer. Thanks Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToolBane Posted October 28, 2020 Report Share Posted October 28, 2020 This battery is actually still available, though it may become harder to find over time: https://www.amazon.com/Makita-BL1014-12V-Lithium-Ion-Battery/dp/B004GTMUWW/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=makita+12v+max+battery&qid=1603863310&sprefix=makita+12V+Max+&sr=8-3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tasteslikemetal Posted October 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2020 Yeah I know but I live in Hawaii and they won't ship here. Plus I already have CXT Batteries so I figure if I can get them to work on the same battery platform that would be cool, thanks for the info though.

ToolBane Posted October 28, 2020 Report Share Posted October 28, 2020 Well that’s inconvenient about the no-shipping to Hawaii. And I like the CXT platform as well, love the new ergonomics compared to the old 12V Max. That said I can see why you’d want to keep those old tools going. I still think there’s a place for the platform albeit not with a large number of tools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
