Frequently Asked Questions - BAP182 MAKITA

Which batteries can I use with the BAP182?

The BAP182 accepts two Makita 18 V batteries. Do not use the BL1815 battery. 14.4 V batteries are not compatible.

How do I install batteries in the converter?

Slide the lock lever to open the cover, insert the batteries fully until the red part of the button is no longer visible, then close and lock the cover.

What does the blinking of the charge indicators mean?

Blinking of the lower indicator for a battery indicates low charge. The tool will not work if one of the two batteries is depleted. Replace the low battery with a charged one.

Can I use the BAP182 with only one battery?

No, the converter strictly requires two 18 V batteries to operate. Use with a single battery is not possible.

Why does my tool stop suddenly?

This may be due to overload, overheating, or a depleted battery. The protection system automatically cuts the power. Let the device cool down or charge the batteries.

How do I attach the converter to my belt?

Use the provided hook to hang it on your belt. You can also remove the hook and thread the belt directly through the designated slot.

Can I charge the battery through the adapter?

No, do not insert the adapter for tool connection into the charger. Charging is not possible in this way.

What should I do if the three indicators of both batteries flash alternately?

This indicates a possible malfunction of the converter (BCV01). Contact your dealer or a Makita service center for inspection.

What is the output voltage of the BAP182?

When two 18 V batteries are installed, the output voltage is 36 V, allowing powering Makita tools designed for this voltage.

How do I clean the converter?

Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use water or solvents. Ensure the contacts are clean for proper operation.

Applications

This battery converter enables the main unit and batteries to be separated, making it suitable for work performed over long times, etc.

This battery converter uses two 18 V batteries, and can be used with 36 V battery-powered products.

Compatible battery: BL1815N, BL1820B, BL1830B, BL1840B, BL1850B, BL1860B

Note: BL1815 cannot be used with the battery converter.

CAUTION

• Be sure to carefully read the product main unit instruction manual before use.
• This battery converter is designed exclusively for use with 18 V batteries. Do not use 14.4 V batteries.
  • Install two 18 V batteries for use. This battery converter cannot be used with only one 18 V battery.
• Do not pick up or carry the battery converter by holding only the cord.
• Do not insert the product mounting adaptor into the charger. Charging is not possible in this case.
• During operation, keep the cord away from obstacles such as branches. The cord caught by obstacles may cause serious injury.
• Do not use multiple adapters to extend the cord.
• Do not use a corded power supply such as portable power pack with this battery adapter. The cable of such power supply may hinder the operation and result in personal injury or malfunction.

Installing the batteries (Fig. 1 & 2)

CAUTION

• Be careful not to pinch your fingers with the cover when inserting the batteries.
• Be careful not to drop the batteries when removing them.
• Be careful when removing the batteries with the batteries facing downward, as they may fall out and drop.
• Slide the lock lever of the adapter used to house the 18 V batteries, and open the cover.
• Insert the batteries firmly all the way, until the red color of the button is no longer visible.
• Be sure to secure the cover with the lock lever.
• Set the hook onto your belt, etc. (Fig. 3)
• Attach the product mounting adapter to the product.
• You can also remove the hook and pass the belt through it as shown in the illustration

Attaching the optional shoulder strap

The optional shoulder strap can be attached as shown in the illustration. (Fig. 4)

Operation

Attach the battery converter to your body for work as shown in the illustration. (Fig. 5)

Remaining battery capacity indication (Fig. 6)

Press the remaining battery capacity display button to light the indicator lamps and indicate the remaining battery capacities for approximately 10 seconds. The indicator lamps correspond to each battery.

NOTE

• When only the lowermost indicator lamp blinks for either Battery 1 or Battery 2, this means that the battery capacity is low, so the product does not operate. In these cases, charge the battery that is low, or replace it with a fully charged battery. The product does not operate when either of the batteries has run out.
• The indicated charge may be slightly lower than the actual level during use or immediately after using the product.

How to read the remaining battery capacity indication

Indicator lamps (Battery 1 or Battery 2)				Remaining charge or indication contents
: On	[K220] : Off		: Blinking
				50% to 100%
				20% to 50%
				0% to 20%
	[ZV22]			Charge the battery
	[0722]		[OK5X]

- Depending on the conditions of use and the ambient temperature, the remaining capacity may not be indicated correctly.

Example of remaining charge indication (Battery 1: 80%, Battery 2: 10%)

Battery 1 Battery 2

Abnormal indications during use

The BCV01 indicates various states using the remaining battery capacity indication.

Indicator lamps			Indication contents
	[ZWK]	[XX86]
Battery 1 Battery 2
↑↓			The BCV01 may have malfunctioned.
			The protective function operated.
			The protective function operated.
			Charge the battery.
			The BCV01 detected an abnormally high voltage.

1. BCV01 malfunction

When the three indicator lamps for Battery 1 and the three indicator lamps for Battery 2 light alternately, the BCV01 may have malfunctioned. Contact your Makita dealer or nearest Makita Sales Center to request inspection and/or repair.

1. BCV01 protective function

When a product is used continuously at a high load, the motor may stop automatically. This is due to the BCV01's protective function, and is not a malfunction. If the product does not operate even when the product switches are operated, stop use, disconnect the product and batteries from the BCV01, and let the BCV01 cool down.

1. Battery protective function

The batteries have an internal protective function that automatically stops power output in order to extend the battery life. When the following states occur during product use, the motor stops automatically, but this is due to the battery's protective function, and is not a malfunction.

When the battery temperature rises above a certain level, the motor stops automatically, and remains stopped even when the switches are operated. In these cases, stop battery use, remove the batteries from the BCV01, and allow the batteries to cool or charge the batteries.

When the battery capacity becomes low, the product's motor stops automatically. If the product does not operate even when the switches are operated, remove the batteries from the BCV01 and charge the batteries.

1. BCV01 abnormally high voltage detection

When the BCV01 detects an abnormally high battery voltage, the motor stops automatically. This is due to the BCV01's protective function, and is not a malfunction. In these cases, the motor remains stopped even when the switches are operated.

Remove the batteries from the BCV01, and use different batteries with normal voltage.

NOTE

When the product stops automatically without any BCV01 indication

When the product enters an overload state, power output stops automatically in order to extend the battery life. This is due to the battery's protective function, and is not a malfunction. In addition, in these cases the BCV01 does not indicate anything, but this is not a malfunction. When this happens, release the switch, and remove the cause of the overload. The product can then be used again by operating the switch again.
