The Makita 40V XGT system is a new generation of high-output battery technology from Makita. These high powered products are designed to handle the most demanding jobs without sacrificing run time. Offering a cordless solution for high demand industrial applications whilst still experiencing a battery powered job site.

XGT® gives users one system, from core handheld tools like drills and impact drivers to equipment-grade products including high-capacity saws, rotary hammers, and power cutters – all powered by 40V max XGT® batteries.

The Makita-built brushless motor delivers up to 447 MPH and 39 CFM with four speed settings, and up to 50 minutes of continuous run time with a 40V XGT® 2.5Ah battery (battery sold separately). It includes five nozzles for a range of applications.

All of the new Makita 40V Max XGT tools, at least those with moving components, feature brushless motors, including the fan. The first wave of tools will launch in April 2021.

XGT® is a new 40V system with its own tools, batteries and chargers. It's combination of innovative tool design and higher output batteries provide a genuine solution for the highest demands in construction, industry, horticulture and many other areas.

40V max XGT Batteries are equipped with smart technology. The digital communication within XGT Batteries optimizes performance to provide up to 2X longer sustained power under heavy-load applications.

40 Volts The XGT® battery has a unloaded voltage of 40 Volts, which is called 40 Volt Max. The LXT® voltage of 18 Volt is so well established, and so many of these batteries have been sold that Makita prefers to continue to refer to these as 18 Volt.

Using 40V HP technology and a jet fan design, this blower delivers more power than a 27cc gas blower. Experience the performance of gas without the gas, maintenance, or hassle. This blower runs for up to 30 minutes on high, or up to 120 minutes on low when paired with the included (2) 40V 4Ah batteries.

around 3 years The Bottom Line. So, how long do Lithium-ion batteries last? To sum it all up, the bare minimum that most manufacturers expect from their batteries is around 3 years or 1,000 charging cycles. Bosch, DeWalt, Hitachi, Makita, Milwaukee, and Ridgid all warranty their Lithium-ion batteries for 3 years.

Makita Corporation (株式会社マキタ, kabushiki gaisha Makita) (TYO: 6586) is a Japanese manufacturer of power tools. Founded on March 21, 1915, it is based in Anjō, Japan and operates factories in Brazil, China, Japan, Mexico, Romania, the United Kingdom, Germany, United Arab Emirates, Thailand, Canada, and the United States.

The LXT System handles most jobsite applications, but for those high-demand applications that use corded tools, the XGT System now delivers a higher-powered work solution. With 40Vmax and 80Vmax XGT Products, you can now operate a fully battery-powered job site.

Q: What's the diff between the 40V and the 40V Max batteries? are they interchangable? 40 Max has more life and yes it works just like 40v it works in the same device.

XGT batteries and tools are also built to withstand tough environmental conditions. The batteries and selected tools have been submitted for approve to qualify for IPX4 water resistance protection. This means that they have been built to be withstand splashing or spraying water from any angle.

We're pleased with the product. Able to use same 40v battery pack as my chainsaw. I guess 60v would be better but for my needs this is fine. While the performance of this blower, in terms of wind speed and volume, is not nearly as good as my 80v Greenworks blower, it does a fine job at clearing leaves.
