Makita U.S.A. Inc.,'s 40V max XGT® 8.0Ah Battery (BL4080F), giving contractors higher output power for high-demand applications. It is fully compatible with all products in the expanding XGT System and is ideal for use with XGT equipment and tools taking on high-demand applications including the 80V max (40V X2) XGT® 14-in. Power Cutter (GEC01, sold separately).
The new 8.0Ah Battery is engineered for higher output power, and delivers up to two-times longer run time than the 40V max XGT® 4.0Ah battery (BL4040).
It reaches a full charge in only 76 minutes or less for increased efficiency on the XGT® Rapid Optimum Charger (DC40RA). The smart charging system includes built-in chips that allow communication between the battery and charger to control current, voltage and temperature. In addition, the XGT Charger has two built-in fans that circulate air through the battery and circuit board during charging. These features deliver increased charging efficiency so XGT batteries, including the 2.5Ah (BL4025), 4.0Ah (BL4040), 5.0Ah (BL4050F) and new 8.0Ah (BL4080F) spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger.
