In order to further support professionals with convenient and unrestricted access to power, Makita has announced the launch of its new BAC01 36V Power Converter. This solution turns DC power into AC power and is suitable for battery charging, or the use of corded tools in outdoor job sites where an AC outlet is not available.
Specifically, the new solution converts power from Makita’s 36V battery packs to AC power for a wide range of applications – simply by connecting the PDC01 or PDC1200 battery pack to the power station.
The power converter supports a variety of requirements, offering multiple outlets that include two AC outlets, two Type-A USB output ports, two Type C USB outlet ports and one DC12V cigar socket.
Collectively, users have access to a wide range of options to power multiple items when on-site and it can also be used to recharge Makita’s batteries for use with its cordless power tools or outdoor equipment.
Runtime is application dependent. For example, the PDC1200 will power a 1000W load for about 56 minutes, and the PDC01with 4x BL1860B batteries will power a 750W load for approximately 20 minutes.
Owing to the focus on portability and functionality, the power converter is also compatible with Makita’s Makpac system. Measuring just 39.5 x 34.5 x 16.3cm and weighing 7.3 kilos, it can otherwise be handled using the built in carrying handles.
