<p>Use your Metabo HPT 18V batteries on Makita 18V LXT cordless tools, without buying into a second battery platform. Power passes straight through: Metabo HPT 18V and Makita 18V LXT share the same 18V rating. The molded ABS housing keeps it light and hard-wearing, and pure copper contacts keep current delivery steady. It removes the need to keep separate batteries for different platforms, which saves money and simplifies the workflow.</p> <h2>Specifications</h2> <ul> <li> <b>SKU</b> PTA-HPT18-MAK18</li> <li> <b>Fits this battery</b> Metabo HPT 18V (Lithium-Ion)</li> <li> <b>Battery voltage</b> 18V</li> <li> <b>Runs these tools</b> Makita 18V LXT (Lithium-Ion)</li> <li> <b>Tool voltage</b> 18V</li> <li> <b>Housing</b> ABS (Injected)</li> <li> <b>Terminals</b> Copper</li> <li> <b>Current rating</b> 40A continuous (80A peak at 18VDC for up to 2 seconds)720 Watt continuous at 18V nominal</li> <li> <b>Internal wiring</b> 5 mm²</li> <li> <b>Weight</b> 119 g (4.2 oz / 0.26 lb)</li> <li> <b>Colour</b> Black</li> <li> <b>Operating humidity</b> 5–95% RH</li> <li> <b>Operating temperature</b> -10 °C to 50 °C (14 °F to 122 °F)</li> <li> <b>USB port</b> No</li> <li> <b>What's in the box</b> Battery Adapter</li> <li> <b>Warranty</b> 12 months after the date of delivery</li> <li> <b>Revision</b> Revision 01 (released on August 21, 2026)</li> </ul> <h2>Why choose this adapter</h2> <ul> <li>Your Metabo HPT 18V battery and Makita 18V LXT tools run at the same voltage, so the adapter changes the fitting rather than converting anything.</li> <li>Injection-moulded ABS, not 3D printed — no layer lines to split under load.</li> <li>Solid copper terminals, so less of the current is lost as heat.</li> <li>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.</li> <li>Covered by a 12-month warranty from the day it arrives.</li> </ul> <h2>Metabo HPT 18V and Makita 18V LXT compatibility</h2> <p>It works in one direction only: Metabo HPT batteries powering Makita tools.
