12v battery for Makita tools

Why choose Makita batteries and chargers

Makita 12V tools have been a trusted choice for professionals and demanding DIY enthusiasts for years. Within this voltage, you will find two important generations: the classic 12V tools with NiMH or NiCd batteries (such as the 6271D and 6228D), and the modern 12V Max CXT line with compact Li-ion slide batteries, recognizable by the flat form factor and improved electronics. For both lines, Accu-Machine.nl offers high-quality replacement batteries and chargers. Our models are CE-certified, tested for safety and compatible with a large number of original Makita machines and chargers. Whether you work with a classic plug-in battery or a 12V Max slide battery, we offer a reliable replacement with a longer runtime and modern cell technology. The 12V Max CXT series is lightweight, fast charging and ideal for precision work, assembly and interior work. Thanks to Li-ion technology you benefit from high energy density, no memory effect and constant performance down to the last screw.

Which battery fits your Makita tool?

Makita has two 12V platforms, with different battery types: Classic 12V tools (NiMH/NiCd) Suitable for plug-in batteries such as: PA12, 1220, 1222, 1233 Machines such as 6271D, 6228D, 6223D, 6333D Our replacement batteries in this line are based on NiMH technology (3.0Ah+), with less memory effect and longer runtime than original NiCd packs. 12V Max CXT series (Li-ion, slide battery) Battery models: BL1015, BL1021B, BL1041B Machines: DF333D, HP333D, TD110D, CL106FDZ These batteries are lighter, more compact and have smart protection electronics. Our replacement Li-ion batteries are 100% compatible with the original Makita chargers and offer higher capacity up to 4.0Ah. For each battery on our site you will find a clear compatibility list with machine codes, so you can be sure you choose the right one.

Battery chargers and capacity: what suits your working method?

For the classic 12V plug-in batteries, original chargers such as the DC1414 or DC1804 are common. These often support both NiCd and NiMH. Our replacement batteries are suitable for these chargers, provided the voltage matches. For 12V Max CXT slide batteries, use a modern Li-ion charger such as the DC10SA or DC10WD. These chargers are fast and compact, and often fully charge a 2.0Ah battery within 30 minutes. Our chargers are compatible with original Makita Li-ion batteries and our replacement models. Please note the capacity: 2.0Ah: light and fast charging – ideal for short jobs 3.0Ah: good balance between weight and runtime 4.0Ah: long runtime – perfect for intensive use For professional use we always recommend keeping an extra battery on hand so you never have to wait.
