Makita 18V to MacNaught 18V Battery Adapter (Pump, Grease Gun)
kr 23.00 Shipping to DenmarkZero customs fees. Zero surprise taxes.
Use your Makita 18V LXT batteries on MacNaught 18V cordless tools, without buying into a second battery platform. Voltage is not the obstacle here — both sides are 18V. The socket is, and that is what this solves. Built with a durable 3D-printed ABS housing and pure copper contacts — light in the hand, accurate on the fit. Your existing batteries do more work, and there is no second ecosystem to buy into. It also carries battery protection electronics (BMS) inside.

Why choose this adapter
- Your Makita 18V LXT battery and MacNaught 18V tools run at the same voltage, so the adapter changes the fitting rather than converting anything.
- A Battery Management System inside the adapter cuts power before the battery is drained too far — protection your battery may not have on its own.
- Solid copper terminals, so less of the current is lost as heat.
- 5 mm² internal wiring, rated for 40A continuous with 80A peak at 18VDC for up to 2 seconds, so a high-draw tool is not held back by the adapter.
- Covered by a 12-month warranty from the day it arrives.
Makita 18V LXT and MacNaught 18V compatibility
It works in one direction only: Makita batteries powering MacNaught tools. For the opposite pairing, see adapters that run on MacNaught 18V batteries.
Compatibility can vary with the exact battery and tool model. Before ordering, confirm that your battery belongs to the Makita 18V LXT platform and that your tool takes MacNaught 18V batteries.
Important charging and safety information
This adapter is for powering cordless tools and nothing else. It cannot charge Makita or MacNaught batteries and must never be connected to a charger of any kind. Always take the battery out of the adapter before charging, and charge it on the original charger made for your Makita 18V LXT battery.
How it works
-
1. Use the battery you own
Any compatible Makita 18V LXT battery you already have.
-
2. Slide on the adapter
It goes where the original MacNaught 18V battery sits.
-
3. Click in and work
No tools, no wiring, no modifications.
Makita 18V LXT to MacNaught 18V — Common Questions
Will this fit my other Makita batteries?
Only Makita 18V LXT batteries. Makita also sells Makita 18V Ni-Cd/Ni-MH, Makita 36V/40V XGT, Makita 10.8V CXT, and those use a different socket — same brand, different rail and contacts, so they need their own adapter. Compare the rail on your battery with the photos before ordering.
Will my MacNaught 18V tool run as long on a Makita 18V LXT battery?
Runtime comes from the battery, not the adapter — a 5.0Ah Makita 18V LXT battery lasts roughly twice as long as a 2.5Ah one, exactly as it would on its own tool. The adapter’s copper terminals and heavy-gauge wiring are there to keep resistive loss low.
Could this damage my Makita 18V LXT battery or my MacNaught 18V tool?
Used with undamaged, compatible equipment it is not expected to. This adapter has its own Battery Management System, which cuts power before the battery is drained too far, so it protects the battery even where the battery has no protection of its own. Stop using it if the adapter becomes unusually hot, the contacts look damaged, or the tool behaves oddly.
Can I charge through the adapter?
No, and it should never be attempted. The adapter carries power one way only, out to the MacNaught 18V tool — there is no charging circuit inside it. Connecting it to a charger puts the battery, the charger and the adapter at risk. Always take the Makita 18V LXT battery off the adapter and charge it on its own charger.
Does it work with third-party Makita batteries?
Usually. What matters is the socket, not the badge: if the battery slides on and locks the way an original does, the adapter takes it and the MacNaught 18V tool runs. Aftermarket moulding does vary, so if yours looks unusual send us a photo and we will check before you order.
How much does it add to the MacNaught 18V tool?
118 g (4.2 oz) and a short extension between battery and tool. You notice it overhead or in a tight cabinet; on a drill or driver held normally it disappears.
