Makita ADP05 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Cordless Power Source, Power Source Only

If you have a bunch of Makita 18v lithium power tool batteries already, buying this is pretty much a no-brainer. Here's why: you can buy a dedicated USB power bank to charge your phone, but unless you buy a huge one you are not going to get anywhere near the same capacity as all those Makita 18v batteries you already own. You also know that the genuine Makita batteries you paid an absolute bloody fortune for are sturdy, well-built with good battery management/protection circuitry and high-quality cells, designed to handle very heavy power demands without failing. In other words, your existing Makita power tool batteries are likely going to be the best set of rechargeable batteries in your house, and you also already keep them charged up at all times because you want to be able to use your power tools. So if the power goes out or you are out on a job site somewhere with no power, you can flip a spare battery onto one of these adapters and juice up your phone or your tablet really easily. And when all you are doing is asking those batteries to charge a phone, they will last a very long time. The only place you wouldn't want to use these is somewhere where you want something small and discrete, you are not putting one of those huge honking batteries and this charger adapter attached to it in your pocket. They do give you a belt clip on one end, and if you have one of the smaller batteries I guess that would be ok, but with the chunky 5Ahr batteries I normally use, it looks kind of absurd. It is more something you lay on the floor or a table and then plug in your phone. It is typical Makita quality, seems solid and unlikely to fall apart soon. No USB-C ports on it, so you will need a USB-A cable for anything you want to plug into it. Nor does it have the power to recharge your laptop, this is a convenience charger for small electronics only.

Works well. Incredibly useful.

Shoot... this here gadget is fantastic. I grab my Makita drill, an extra battery and hop on the 4x4 to mosey 85 acres out to pasture and fix a gate out near the old pump house. I lose control trying to dodge a field critter, flip over the 4x4 and break both of my legs. I was able to reach for my phone and it was dead. I, however, had this charger and a drill battery with me and was able to get my phone plugged in and turned on to call my wife or call 911. As soon as I started trying to dial, I blacked out from the intense pain. The last thing I did was try and dial my wife hoping that she would know something was wrong and send one of the boys down in the old Dodge to clean me up and run me down to Dr. Hinkley near the county line.. When I woke up in the hospital, they said that a neighbor... a darned good Samaritan, in the other pasture saw me get hurt and rode over to help me out right after I blacked out and dialed my wife. I still believe, to this day, that man was an Angel (like in that show "touched by an angel" with Roma Downey and Della Reese). Sadly, my wife never got that call becasue there's no cell-phone coverage on that side of the property. Not since the railroad put in that new high voltage tower on the other side of the McIntosh's Alpaca Farm. Thank goodness for this stranger with a satellite phone who was able to call 911. By the time the ambulance showed up (20 minutes) they unplugged my phone and put it in my pocket so I would have it at the hospital when I woke up. They told me that when they found me my phone was at a 50% charge. Not too shabby for 20 minutes of charging a totally dead battery. I guess the Battery charger really didn't help save my life. It couldn't have. There was no reception anyway. But I was still happy to have a cell phone with an OK charge when I woke up in the hospital. I was able to ignore some of my pain and the disorienting effects of the heavy pain killers they were pumping into my body intravenously, because I could listen to my favorite Merle Haggard album on the MP3s inside of the phone. I finally knew that I was going to revocer and I was going to survive my accident when I was able to just listen to that darned Merle album. That song where he sings about how the "best part of dyin' is livin' real good" was just what I needed in that moment. It helped me make the decision to live. I don't even know if any of that is true, but I believe it and it's my truth. Decent little charger attachment. Would recommend.

vraiment au top de plus makita et une très bonne marque et surtout de qualité

Quebra bem o galho em casos de falta de energia. cheguei a ficar 3 dias sem energia por causa de queda de árvore, e como tenho várias baterias das ferramentas que ficam carregadas consegui manter os celulares carregados.

Bon produit makita

Praktisch und gut! Wenn das Handy mal Strom braucht und auf der Baustelle ist nicht immer alles perfekt dann kann man sein Gerät auch am Mann laden!

I've been using this charger/converter, sitting on a Makita 3Ah battery, for a few days now - charging Kindles, ipads, iphones and other powerbanks - using both outputs simultaneously, with no problems at all, and not needing to charge the Makita battery. I've not experienced any drop-outs, partial charging or any of the problems that other people seem to have had with their devices. Though I did have a chargeable head torch stop charging - but that was because it was getting too warm for it's own good and so it shut down until it was cool enough to carry on charging... so it would seem that the outputs on this device are powerful and continuous - depending on the quality of the battery feeding it obviously... The one little niggle is the quality of the power switch on the device - which is a bit 'Mickey Mouse'... but this is a genuine piece of Makita kit - and I've had no problem with their kit in 30 years... What I have found to be really useful is that I can charge the one Makita battery and use this charger for a couple of days - charging two phones, an ipad and a Kindle fully over those two days, without needing to keep all of the individual chargers plugged in and drawing their combined power over those days - which might mean that this device might pay for itself over a year!
