Which tool batteries fit?
Milwaukee M18, Makita LXT and DeWALT XR/FlexVolt 18V/20V batteries. Pick your brand above and the adapter is built for that brand's connection. Batteries not included.
How long does the light run?
About 10 hrs on a 6.0Ah battery. A bigger battery runs it longer.
Is this a volt dropper?
That's what a lot of Aussies call it. It's a regulated 18V to 12V converter: it holds 12V (13.5V actual) steady, not raw battery voltage.
What's the biggest fridge it'll run?
Any 12V fridge drawing under 5A, which covers most portable 12V fridges. For higher-draw gear or longer runtime, the dual-battery Middle Man (10A) is the better pick.
Will it charge my battery?
No. Solar sharing shares the load. Neither it nor the adapter charges your tool battery.
Can I run solar and a Starlink Mini at once?
Yes. Plug your regulated solar panel and the Power Plate into the two plugs on one end of a solar sharing splitter; the single plug on the other end runs the Starlink Mini. Solar shares the load; it doesn't charge your battery.
Prices with your Power Plate.
Can I run a fridge and a Starlink Mini at once?
On the 5A Power Plate, run them one at a time, or check your fridge's draw first. The Middle Man (10A) has room for both.
5 more questions Fewer questions
What makes the Power Plate different from the other kits?
The built-in LED flood light. It's a 12V/5A adapter with an aluminium-backed LED flood light on a rotating stainless bracket, so you get power and adjustable lighting off one battery. Choose it if you want a work or camp light; choose the Middle Man (10A) for higher draw and longer runtime, or the Battle Station for a fixed install.
Can I aim the light?
Yes. The LED flood light sits on a rotating stainless bracket, so you can tilt it to where you need it, on site or at camp.
Where can I mount it?
Almost anywhere, with no tools: railings, bullbars, pipes, fences, trees and vehicles, using the clamps, strap and S-hook in the kit. For a fixed spot, add the fixed mounting bracket.
Will it protect my battery?
Yes. The Smart LVD (low voltage disconnect) cuts power at 14.0V under load before the battery over-discharges, then hibernates at ultra-low draw, so a battery left connected for weeks is still a battery.
Will it protect my battery?
Makita packs have their own internal disconnect, and ZED Makita adapters rely on that. The adapter is fused inside, with 6 safety protections.
