Why the distinction matters
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.
Use the manufacturer approval for the exact battery, tool and charger. A common voltage number or a shared manufacturer name is insufficient when the systems have different receivers or electronics.
