Makita LXT 18V Battery Mount

If you've ever wanted to make use of those Makita LXT 18V batteries, you are going to want a solid and clean way to get to the battery terminals. This 3D print provides a plastic plate that slips onto the battery, snapping on just like a Makita power tool. The electrical terminals connections are reproduced using a genuine Makita spare part (643852-2), glued into place. You will need to source those separately, but relatively inexpensive for a Makita part.

My battery mount for the Makita LXT 18V battery is designed to directly and firmly fit the Makita 643852-2 Battery Terminal spare part, though I use epoxy resin glue to secure it permanently in-place.

I've now created several projects based on this design, altering the basic width and length to accommodate a custom 3D printed box cover to fit the project.

I hope you can find this print useful, too.

(Lookout for some of my 3D prints for my Makita battery projects and share your thoughts.)

Updates:

Version F

• Changed the 2 deeper screw mounting holes to make all the mounting holes require the same mounting screw lengths.

Version G

• Cleaned up the design. Only minor tweaks to a popular and successful design.

Print instructions

My print is made in PETG 1.75mm Aurarum Silver filament, with 0.2mm layer height and 25% infill on a PRUSA I3 MK3S printer.

The print can be printed without supports, but comes out slightly better if included.
