poobare99 Posted November 5, 2020 Report Share Posted November 5, 2020 Is there a Battery adapter to convert a 20V Dewalt XR Battery for use on Makita 18V NiMH Tool? (The Makita tool currently takes the older 18V "POD/Post Style NiMH Battery pic attached) I've been looking and cant seem to find that specific combination. Any suggestions? Many thanks.

Eric - TIA Posted November 6, 2020 Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 I have never heard of a converter but also never looked. Just by a quick search on Google, I don't see anything worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToolBane Posted November 6, 2020 Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 Might be possible to do via TWO adapters...one for Dewalt to Makita LXT, then LXT to old-school Makita NiMH. If they’re both available. Which could also be a long-shot, to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poobare99 Posted November 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 Thx for the response guys... I do see a number of various battery adapters for current tech batteries from the assorted brands but have had difficulty finding the specific adapter for old style 18V NiMH Makita. I did think about the the two adapter approach you mentioned earlier but figured that is pushing the limits of good sense. I'll keep an eye out and let me know if anyone out there is able to find a source for me. Heck maybe I'll design one myself and market it to others. Gotta still be a good number of older tools that DIYers still have on hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew thomas Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 Hey there, after going through your request I searched for the adapter and I came across Raptor Supplies seems like they have battery adapters as per the requirement.
