Until recently, I had only been using Makita products for impact drivers and blowers.
Honestly, I thought, do I really need this? Like, I could still get by with a flip phone, right? (*’ω’*)
Recently, what has captured my attention is the increased battery capacity, advances in electronics, brushless motors, and the evolution of Makita power tools into compact, lightweight, high-power devices.
Isn’t it time to upgrade to a smartphone?
I feel like this is a similar sensation.
USB Adapter for 14.4V/18V DC 5.0V
With this adapter, you can power your smartphone and other devices using Makita batteries.
But wait, wouldn’t an Anker power bank work just as well?
You’re right! I thought the same thing.
However, while I do have the habit of always carrying a power bank, the problem is that the capacity is quite limited.
Since I only carry devices like GoPro for external power supply, I prioritize being small and lightweight, so I typically have around 10,000mAh at best.
That’s enough to charge a smartphone a few times.
But in case of a power outage, it won’t help much.
Since I’m already using Makita anyway, why not maximize the use of Makita chargers? That’s what I thought.
Makita is almost always fully charged ⚡
We always charge the tools we use regularly after use to be ready for the next job.
If those batteries can be utilized during a disaster, it would provide tremendous peace of mind.
USB Adapter for 14.4V/18V DC 5.0V ＊ADP05
With this adapter, your existing 14.4V/18V batteries can be transformed into mobile power banks. And the price is quite reasonable.
Makita battery charging speed is incomparably fast (*’ω’*)
If you look around a construction site, it’s full of Makita tools. They’re an indispensable item in the world.
High usage frequency means charging must be completed as quickly as possible.
By the way… from the Anker website
How long does it take to fully charge the Anker PowerCore 10000?
→Using a USB charger capable of outputting 2A or more at 5V, it can be fully charged in approximately 6.5 hours.
What? 6.5 hours…
Makita 18V BL1860B 6,000mAh (6.0Ah)
Time required to charge this isPractical charge 80%: 27 minutes, Full charge: approximately 40 minutes
Just looking at thisthe charging speed is terrifyingly fast.
But what about capacity?
Makita claims that with the BL1860B,
you can charge an iPhone 6 (capacity 1810mAh) 12 times.
*iPhone 6??? It’s about time to upgrade to a new model…
21,720mAh (1810mAh × 12 times) should be covered.
Let me compare once more…
Practical charge 80%: 27 minutes, Full charge: approximately 40 minutes(*’ω’*)
Compared to Anker, the difference is overwhelmingly clear. Truly fearsome (/・ω・)/
And though it may not be directly related…
Charger DC18RFcan charge even at minus 10 degrees when an asterisk (snowflake?) marked battery is connected.
Truly fearsome Makita…
Before the shocking price hikes? (just speculation) I decided to stock up while inventory is plentiful (^^♪
For those of you who are Makita users, please refer to this.
