Product Information

Full details

This Makita 40V Max XGT Power Source Kit is for professionals and serious DIYers looking to power demanding industrial applications or expand their XGT tool collection. Its key benefit is providing high-output power and extended runtime with two 8.0Ah batteries, a fast dual charger, and durable storage. A potential caveat is that the XGT system is a separate platform from the widely adopted LXT system, requiring dedicated XGT tools.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the main advantage of the XGT system over LXT?

The XGT system is designed for higher demand, industrial applications, offering more power, higher amperage capabilities, and enhanced durability compared to the LXT system.

Can I use my existing LXT batteries with XGT tools?

No, the XGT and LXT systems use different battery voltage and connection types. You must use 40V Max XGT batteries with 40V Max XGT tools.

How long does it take to charge a 8.0Ah battery with the DC40RB charger?

Charging times can vary based on battery temperature and state of charge, but the DC40RB is designed for efficient charging of the 8.0Ah batteries, typically providing a full charge in approximately 45-50 minutes per battery.

What does 'Wet Guard/IPX4' protection mean for the batteries?

It means the batteries are designed to resist water splashes from any direction (IPX4 rating) and have a specific guard design to prevent water from entering the battery terminals. This offers protection in wet job site conditions but does not make them waterproof for submersion.

Can the DC40RB charger charge different capacities of XGT batteries?

Yes, the DC40RB charger is designed to charge all Makita 40V Max XGT Li-Ion batteries, optimizing the charge for each capacity.

Is the Makpac Type 3 Case stackable?

Yes, the Makpac cases are designed with connecting clips that allow them to be securely stacked on top of each other for efficient storage and transportation.

How does the digital communication between tool and battery improve performance?

The digital communication allows the battery and tool to share real-time data. This enables the tool to draw optimal power, and the battery to manage its output and temperature for maximum performance and extended battery life, especially under heavy load.

Troubleshooting

Battery not charging

Ensure the battery is properly seated in the charger. Check if the battery terminals are clean. Verify the charger is plugged into a working power outlet. If the issue persists, the battery or charger may require service.

Tool not powering on with a charged battery

Confirm the battery is fully charged using the LED indicator. Ensure the battery is correctly inserted into the tool and locked. Check if the tool's safety lock-off switch is engaged. Clean battery contacts on both the tool and battery.

Reduced runtime or power

The battery may be nearing the end of its lifespan or has been exposed to extreme temperatures. Ensure the tool's vents are not blocked. For high-demand applications, consider using two batteries in rotation and allowing them to cool.

Charger indicator lights flashing erratically

This may indicate a battery fault or a charger issue. Remove the battery and try charging a different compatible battery. Consult the charger manual for specific error code interpretations.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High power output suitable for demanding industrial applications.

  • The 40V Max system might be overkill for light-duty tasks.
  • Charging requires a dedicated XGT charger.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure batteries are fully charged using the included DC40RB charger.
  2. Slide a fully charged BL4080F battery firmly into the compatible Makita 40V Max XGT tool until it clicks.

  • The BL4080F batteries are compatible with all Makita 40V Max XGT tools and the DC40RB charger.
  • The DC40RB charger is compatible with all Makita 40V Max XGT batteries.

Care:

  • Batteries: Store batteries in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid exposing them to extreme temperatures. Clean battery terminals with a dry cloth if necessary. Ensure Wet Guard/IPX4 protection by not submerging the batteries in water and keeping the connection points clean and dry.
  • Charger: Keep the charger clean and dry. Ensure ventilation slots are free of debris. Do not attempt to charge damaged batteries.
  • Makpac Case: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Ensure interlocking clips are clear of dirt for proper connection.
