What compatibility data says
- charger to battery — BL4040: conditional. The DC40RA official manual lists BL4040 in its charging table.
Exceptions, source limits and safety
- Confirm the physical unit's AC input and region label before plugging it into a US outlet.
- Charging an LXT battery with either named charger requires the official ADP10 adapter; XGT direct charging is a different path.
A missing rating is not zero or universal support. Charger AC input and pack-to-tool use are separate checks.
