The Makita XGT is a separate, higher-voltage platform designed for demanding professional applications. XGT batteries and tools operate at 40V Max and are not interchangeable with the 18V LXT system.
TL;DR
XGT batteries work exclusively in XGT tools — a completely separate platform from LXT.
XGT is NOT compatible with LXT tools, chargers, or batteries.
Two XGT batteries in a dual-port XGT tool deliver 80V max operation.
XGT is Makita’s heavy-duty professional platform for high-demand applications.
Check Makita’s platform documentation to confirm XGT vs LXT before purchasing.
Compatibility Rules
XGT batteries (BL40xx series) fit all XGT tools. The platform uses a different physical connector and operates at 40V, making it fundamentally incompatible with the 18V LXT system. Makita has confirmed that XGT will not replace LXT but will sit alongside it as an additional higher-power option.

Charger Notes
XGT tools require XGT-specific chargers (DC40xx series). These chargers are not compatible with LXT batteries. Check your specific tool manual and the Makita platform documentation to confirm charger compatibility before purchasing.
Common Pitfalls
XGT vs LXT physical similarity: The 40V XGT 2.5Ah battery is approximately the same physical size as an 18V LXT battery, which can cause confusion when purchasing. Always check the voltage label and platform marking before buying.
The Makita 40V Max XGT system is Makita’s premium high-power platform, launched in 2021 and growing rapidly to 125+ products. XGT uses the BL4025, BL4040, BL4050F, BL4080F batteries — these are NOT compatible with LXT batteries. Two XGT batteries power the 80V Max tools. The XGT adapter (ADP10) allows some LXT accessories to be used with XGT tools.
