{"title":"Makita 36V\/40V XGT Battery Adapters","description":"\u003cp\u003eMakita's 36V\/40V XGT is the high-power system — a bigger pack, its own socket, and tools that ask more of a battery than 18V can give. It sits alongside 18V LXT rather than replacing it, which is where most of the confusion starts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e%ADAPTERS% here, all in one direction: a 36V\/40V XGT pack driving another brand's tool. Running an XGT tool from someone else's battery is not something we make an adapter for yet. Worth knowing before you order — XGT is a separate system from Makita's own 18V LXT, and an XGT pack does not fit an LXT tool however alike the two look on a shelf. The adapter you need is chosen by platform, not by brand. Use the finder if you know both ends of the pairing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","products":[{"product_id":"makita-36v-40v-to-makita-18v-battery-adapter","title":"Makita 36V\/40V to Makita 18V Battery Adapter","description":"\u003cp\u003eUse your Makita 36V\/40V XGT batteries on Makita 18V LXT cordless tools, without buying into a second battery platform. 40V in, 18V out: the converter brings it down to what a fully charged 18V battery reads, rather than passing the higher voltage through. Constructed from durable molded ABS with pure copper contacts, for a secure fit and dependable current transfer.
