Many brands have added higher-performing and higher capacity battery packs to their 18V and 20V Max cordless power tool systems, something Makita has suggested they will not do with their 18V system, but will do in their XGT system. An 18V 5.0Ah battery and a 40V Max 2.5Ah battery have the same number of cells – can the XGT system really deliver “the next level of cordless solutions for higher demand applications?”ġ5 months later, I’m still wondering the same. The XGT system kind of makes sense, but not really.
Last year, when comparing different brands’ cordless systems, I wrote: The 2.5Ah 40V Max batteries in this Makita XGT cordless power tool combo kit have the same watt-hours energy rating as the 5.0Ah batteries in Makita, Dewalt, and Milwaukee 18V and 20V Max cordless systems. Milwaukee M18 5.0Ah battery: 18V x 5.0Ah = 90 watt-hoursĭewalt 20V Max 5.0Ah battery: 18V x 5.0Ah = 90 watt-hours Makita XGT 2.5Ah battery: 36V x 2.5Ah = 90 watt-hours Makita 18V 5.0Ah battery: 18V x 5.0Ah = 90 watt-hours The 18V combo kit comes with 2x 5.0Ah batteries, and the 40V Max XGT (36V nominal) combo kit comes with 2x 2.5Ah batteries. Watt-hours is a measure of energy, and Makita describes it as the amount of performance performed by the tool. Watt hours is calculated by multiplying nominal voltage and amp-hours it is a key indicator of battery capacity and run time. “Watt hours, the product of amp hours and nominal voltage, measures the amount of performance performed by the tool and is a better efficiency indicator.” “When contractors search for a cordless replacement for a corded tool, voltage is only part of the story,” said Carlos Quintana, Sr. You might think there’s a big difference between “40V Max,” which is simply another way marketers describe 36V Li-ion cordless power tools and batteries, and 18V tools, but it depends on the circumstances.īack when Dewalt introduced their 15-cell 60V Max and 120V Max cordless power tool systems, Makita often said in press releases about their 18V X2 tools that “voltage is only part of the story.” Makita XGT Hammer Drillīuy Now via Amazon Makita 18V vs. Makita GT200D is their new XGT brushless hammer drill and impact driver combo kit.
