Makita stands for diversity in the cordless tool sector like hardly any other manufacturer. The Japanese manufacturer impresses with a wide variety of models and versions for practically all areas. But hand on heart: Who can still make sense of all the model and set designations?
That's exactly why this blog exists! We show you easily what the Makita set codes, battery designations, and machine codes are all about – complete, understandable, and at a glance! 🔍
Example Combinations:
RTJ = Fast charger, 2x 5.0 Ah Batteries, Makpac
F1X = 1x 3.0 Ah Battery, Systemkoffer
ZX = Solo machine in Systemkoffer

An example for a machine in a complete set:
A D before the machine code stands for compatibility with the following batteries: 1.5; 3.0; 4.0; 5.0; 6.0 Ah.
The number directly after it is the model designation.
➔ Example: DGA513T1J
D = Battery compatibility
GA = Angle grinder
513 = Model designation
T1J = 1x 5.0 Ah Battery and delivery in Makpac
