Full details

This Makita 40V Max XGT Battery & Charger Kit is designed for professionals and serious DIYers who rely on Makita's XGT line of cordless tools, particularly those requiring sustained high power. Its key benefit is rapid charging and extended runtime, ensuring minimal downtime on job sites.

The kit includes two 2.5Ah batteries and a charger engineered for optimal charging of these powerful Li-ion cells.

A full charge for a 2.5Ah 40V Max XGT battery typically takes between 28 to 45 minutes, depending on the battery's capacity and condition.

Can I use these batteries with my older Makita 18V LXT tools?

No, 40V Max XGT batteries are not compatible with 18V LXT tools due to different voltage and interface. However, the charger can charge LXT batteries with the optional ADP10 adapter.

Is the charger suitable for job site conditions?

The charger is designed with cooling fans to optimize performance and durability, suitable for professional use, but should still be protected from excessive moisture and dust.

What is the warranty period for the batteries and charger?

Makita typically offers a warranty on their batteries and chargers. Please refer to the product manual or Makita's official website for specific warranty details.

Troubleshooting

Battery not charging

Ensure the battery is correctly seated on the charger and the charger is plugged into a working power outlet. Check if battery terminals are clean. Try a different outlet.

Charger indicator lights not functioning

Unplug the charger and wait a few minutes, then plug it back in. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

Battery drains faster than expected

Ensure the battery is fully charged before use. Check the tool's power consumption and consider if the task exceeds the battery's capacity for continuous high-drain use. Ensure no accessories are drawing power unnecessarily.

Charger makes unusual noise

The cooling fan may be operating, which is normal. If the noise is excessive or grinding, unplug the charger and contact customer support.
