MAKITA RELEASES 1200WH PORTABLE POWER SUPPLY IN NEW BATTERY-ONLY CONFIGURATION

New power supply is ideal for users running ConnectX™ lawn mower, portable power station, and more

May 15, 2024, La Mirada, CA – Makita U.S.A., Inc., manufacturer of high-quality professional tools, power equipment, and accessories, has released a new battery-only configuration of its 40V max ConnectX™ 1,200Wh Portable Power Supply.

The new battery-only configuration (model PDC1200) is a convenient option for users running the ConnectX™ lawn mower, backpack blower and power station where the power source mounts directly on-board without use of the harness. The ConnectX™ Power Supply is also available with a harness assembly (PDC1200A01) for use as a backpack battery with handheld ConnectX™ equipment including the string trimmer and blower.

“Professional landscapers who are looking for all-day run times can look to the 40V max ConnectX™ 1,200Wh Portable Power Supply,” said Nicole Tougas, product manager, outdoor power equipment, Makita U.S.A., Inc.” With this single battery configuration, both large crews and single-truck operators can benefit from a portable power supply that can travel with them.”

Longer run times for commercial users

Engineered specifically for landscaping professionals seeking longer run-times, the Portable Power Supply offers easy compatibility with the premium line of ConnectX™ equipment including the commercial-grade lawn mower, blowers and string trimmer, as well as 40V max XGT® and 36V (18V X2) LXT® products when used with an optional adaptor. The PDC1200 can also be paired with a 40V max ConnectX™ Portable Power Station (BAC01) to provide transportable power with 2,800W peak power with 1,400W continuous power output.

The ConnectX™ Power Source also serves as an asset management solution: With a full 1,200 watt hours, the power source offers long run time and enables pro landscapers to reduce the number of lower watt hour batteries on their trucks and trailers.
