Makita XOP02Z whaaaaat!

Sounds about right.
I`d figured 25-30 mins with a 5 ah ..maybe they have smaller cells?

All the Chinese cordless Polishers only ran for 30mins

Flex suppose to run 40, but I don`t trust battery run times when manufactures state it..

I still plan To use a Milwaukee adapter

Yeah I had read 25 with a 5ah and 40 with a 6ah. The 6 should have considerably more run time, so with a 5 you might only get 15 minutes. 25`s workable, 15`ish is too short. With an adapter and a 12ah Milwaukee it might get 40.

Look at the thread where Mike Phillips on Autogeek compounding and polishing a Maserati out real fast and he also times the battery length on the Flex XCE 125 18.0 polisher. It last impresively long I think. Don`t know how it`s with a car charger though if it`s even available for the Flex system. Flex showed a bigger cool power bank or like a generator. That I think that could be recharge the Flex batteries while you polishing if no corded access near you. But proberly expensive too LOL.

Interesting with a cordless Makita DA polisher too. Don`t the battery charger charges faster from an electric outlet? You would want only 2 batteries to switch between during a work. If you include the prices of batteries which is high.

Is there an adapter to fit the Flex or other brands batteries?

Dunno about the Flex charger, but the Makita quick charger takes 45 minutes to fully charge a 5Ah. I can`t find info on how long for a 6Ah, but I`m guessing about an hour. With only 25 minutes of run time you`d need more than 2 if you wanted to use it without breaks. I`m looking at a 298Wh battery bank on Amazon. My math is horrible bad, but I think I could charge 3 batteries before having to recharge the bank. But even if I had 3 batteries, that`s still not going to give me a ton of time. For me to use it mobile, I`m going to need a bunch of expensive batteries and a way to charge them. The flex has much better battery life, but I don`t like the batteries that only work with that one unit. Plus, there`s no multi battery

As much as I want a cordless polisher, it`s going to be super expensive to get a setup that would allow me to one step an entire car in a single session. I see Amazon has generic 9Ah Makita batteries, and like was mentioned in this thread you can get adapters. I was looking at the 12Ah Milwaukee`s, they look like they would be too heavy and bulky to use with the Makita polisher, but I don`t know. And I would imagine even with a fast charger, the 12Ah battery would 90 minutes or more to charge. So

It takes the same time to charge the Flex 5ah batteries too. But with a battery time on full speed setting it`s last you 35-40min of effective polishing time. It was the thread

That I was refering to before.

I see the extra cost of a cordless polisher downside. How is it with converters from 12v to 110v and use a setup of car batteries or RV special batteries. This is common here in Sweden with electric power converted from 12v to 240v in RV and motor homes. They are useally disconnected when used from the RV or vehical electrics and switched over to it when you driving again. So if the battery goes dead you have no problem with running the vehical. Just a thought.
