Makita Cool Box FAQ’s

How long will a Makita Cooler Box last?

A Makita cooler box can typically run anywhere from 5 to 20+ hours depending on the battery size, temperature setting and whether cooling or warming is being used. Larger capacity batteries like 5.0Ah or 8.0Ah will provide significantly longer runtime.

Can the Makita cooler box keep food warm?

Yes - Makita cooler boxes feature a warming mode that allows you to keep food hot as well as drinks cold. This makes them ideal for hot meals on site, long journeys or outdoor workdays.

Can you charge devices with a Makita cooling box?

Some Makita cooling boxes include USB ports or power outputs, allowing you to charge phones and small devices while on the go. This is especially useful on job sites without easy access to mains power.

How many hours is a Makita cooling box good for?

Runtime varies by model and battery, but most users can expect a full workday of cooling or heating on a single charge when using higher-capacity batteries. Lower temperature settings and larger batteries extend usage time even further.

Is a Makita cool box 18V better than a Makita 40V cool box?

Both systems are excellent, but they serve slightly different needs:

• 18V Makita cool boxes offer great portability and compatibility with existing LXT tools

• 40V Makita cool boxes provide longer runtime and stronger cooling performance

If you already use Makita tools, matching your battery platform is usually the best choice.
