System comparisons

Makita LXT vs XGT: battery and charger boundariesLXT 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.Bosch AMPShare vs POWER FOR ALL 18V compatibilityBosch 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.Milwaukee M12 vs M18 batteries and the dual chargerM12 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.DEWALT 20V MAX vs FLEXVOLT: which direction works?A FLEXVOLT pack can serve supported DEWALT 20V MAX and 60V MAX tools. An ordinary 20V MAX pack cannot be treated as a FLEXVOLT pack for a 60V MAX-only tool.

Reading a comparison

A comparison explains which system rule applies and where it stops. For example, FLEXVOLT pack use is directional, and a dual Milwaukee charger does not make M12 and M18 tools share packs.
