What compatibility data says

  • battery to tool — GDT01Z: conditional. Both product pages identify XGT; the exact tool manual should be checked for any model-specific exclusions.
  • charger to battery — DC40RA: conditional. The DC40RA official manual lists BL4040 in its charging table.

Exceptions, source limits and safety

  • Use an XGT-approved tool and charger; an LXT receiver is not a substitute.

A missing rating is not zero or universal support. Charger AC input and pack-to-tool use are separate checks.
