In our practical test, we had the opportunity to test the battery wall mount in detail and gain experience with it. Thanks to the pre-drilled holes and clear installation instructions, installing the bracket was extremely simple and straightforward. Thanks to the secure attachment to the wall, I was able to install the charger firmly and stably without having any concerns about safety.
We were pleasantly surprised by the stability and quality of the battery wall mount. All the holes fitted perfectly and the accessories supplied proved to be of extremely high quality. The use of alloy steel for the bracket gives the product a robust and durable structure. The well thought-out design made installation a breeze, and the use of high-quality Fischer plugs in combination with sturdy Torx screws ensured reliable fastening.
We found the hanging points for the cordless drills on the lower side of the wall bracket particularly practical. The chargers could be easily inserted into the holder, while the batteries could be safely stowed away at the top. The entire assembly process went smoothly and without any major effort, making the battery wall mount an effective tool for keeping the workshop and garage tidy.
Overall, we can recommend the battery wall bracket without reservation. It impresses with its simple installation, high quality and practical functionality, and makes a significant contribution to keeping the work area clear and organized.

On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.6 stars. In some cases, there are complaints that the holes for non-original Makita chargers do not fit. The practical solution for storing batteries is positively highlighted. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that all holes fit and that the accessories are also of very high quality.
Prices of up to €86 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products are available from as little as €41 . The rechargeable wall mount from Adlerfokus is therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of € 43.99. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
