The Makita ADP09 is an adapter pack that lets you power compatible Makita 12 V max CXT laser tools using 8 × AA batteries instead of a Li-Ion battery. It’s compact and easy to install, offering a lightweight alternative when a regular CXT battery isn’t available. The adapter includes an ON/OFF switch to avoid deep discharge, and provides several hours of runtime (depending on battery type) when used with supported laser models like SK700GD, SK40GD, SK20GD, SK10GD, etc.
