Worth it for contractors who need batteries to stay put during transport. The 4.7-star rating reflects real jobsite experience — these mounts hold Makita 18V LXT batteries securely even on rough Montana roads. The click-lock mechanism means batteries stay mounted until you press the release button, solving the expensive problem of batteries rattling loose in trucks or falling off workshop walls.
This 6-pack shines in mobile van storage, workshop organization under benches, and job-site toolbox setups. The injection-molded ABS construction beats flimsy 3D-printed alternatives that plague the aftermarket mount category.
Click-Lock Security and Mounting Flexibility
The defining feature is simple: batteries click into place and won’t release until the battery button gets pressed. No friction-fit nonsense that loosens over time. No gravity-dependent designs that fail when mounted sideways. These mounts work at any angle — horizontal on walls, vertical on toolbox sides, even upside down on ceiling joists or under shelves.
Three countersunk screw holes per mount provide more secure attachment than single-screw competitors. The flush-mount design means no protruding hardware to snag on. Contractors working solo appreciate the belt-loop compatibility — thread a mount through your belt for on-body battery access when both hands are busy.
The mounts also protect battery terminals from jobsite dust and debris when batteries aren’t in use. Small detail, but terminal contamination causes mysterious tool problems down the road.

Build Quality That Survives Montana Jobsites
UK-manufactured injection-molded ABS beats the cheap 3D-printed knockoffs flooding the market. The UV-stable polymer resists degradation from sunlight exposure — crucial for mounts installed in truck beds or trailer interiors that bake in summer heat.
At 131 grams per mount, these have substantial heft that signals quality construction. Reviews consistently praise the durability, with contractors reporting years of service without cracks or mounting hole wear.
The teal color matches Makita’s signature branding for visual organization. When you’ve got a trailer full of different battery platforms, color-coding saves time grabbing the right pack.
Installation and Compatibility Details
Compatible with all Makita 18V LXT lithium-ion batteries including BL1815, BL1830, BL1840, BL1850, and BL1860 series. Won’t work with Makita’s 12V CXT or G-Series batteries — those require different mount dimensions.
Installation takes minutes: mark holes using the mount as a template, then attach with appropriate countersunk screws (#6 or #8 flat-head work well). Mounting screws aren’t included, which makes sense given the variety of materials contractors mount to — plywood, steel, OSB all need different fasteners.
Batteries insert with an audible click, and release only when pressing the standard Makita battery release button. No learning curve for crews already running Makita tools.
The Bottom Line
StealthMounts has earned its reputation as the industry leader for battery organization. The 6-pack provides enough mounts for a typical contractor’s battery collection, with room to expand as tool investments grow.
Installation ease and workshop clutter reduction get consistent praise. For Montana contractors dealing with long drives between jobsites, the security of knowing expensive batteries won’t bounce loose justifies the investment. Some users note the 3-screw spacing can be tight in confined mounting locations, but that’s a minor gripe against otherwise solid execution.
These mounts solve real problems: battery damage from rattling in transit, cluttered workshops where batteries disappear, and the daily frustration of batteries stored loose in buckets or bins. The injection-molded construction and ability to mount batteries at any angle delivers maximum workshop efficiency.
