View model facts ↗Why a model number matters
A shared voltage is not a shared approval. Makita LXT and XGT, Bosch AMPShare and POWER FOR ALL, and Milwaukee M12 and M18 each have boundaries. A dual-system charger may be approved even when batteries are not interchangeable in tools.
Makita LXT vs XGT: battery and charger boundaries
LXT and XGT are separate Makita battery platforms. LXT includes some two-pack tools; XGT has its own packs. A manufacturer-approved charger adapter is a specific exception, not direct pack interchange.
Compare systems ↗Bosch AMPShare vs POWER FOR ALL 18V compatibility
Bosch explicitly separates its professional AMPShare 18V system from the DIY POWER FOR ALL 18V system. The shared voltage number does not make their packs interchangeable.
Compare systems ↗Milwaukee M12 vs M18 batteries and the dual charger
M12 and M18 packs serve different tool systems. Milwaukee’s 48-59-1812 charger supports both systems sequentially; this charging feature does not merge the tool platforms.
Compare systems ↗How to use the checker
- Read the model number on each product label, including suffix and revision.
- Select the exact battery, tool and charger. For two-pack tools, enter the count you have.
- Read both pair results, the AC-input reminder and every official source. Unknown means we lack a verified rule, not that the item is safe or unsafe.
