The Makita 40V max XGT is a 36-40V platform introduced in 2020, built around a 10x 21700 cell pack. All XGT 40V max batteries fit all XGT tools. Two XGT packs power 80V max (XGT) tools.
Legacy & cross-generation: XGT is a SEPARATE platform from 18V LXT — different foot, NOT interchangeable. Makita sells an ADP10 charger-only cross-charging adapter, not a tool adapter.
Worth knowing: Common confusion point: LXT and XGT do not interchange.
