What batteries come with the XCU02PT?
The XCU02PT includes two BL1850B 18V LXT 5.0Ah batteries with a battery charge level indicator. These are compatible with any other Makita 18V LXT tool in your arsenal.
What charger is included with the XCU02PT?
The XCU02PT includes the DC18RD dual-port rapid optimum charger. It charges both 5.0Ah batteries simultaneously and communicates with each battery's onboard chip to optimize charging speed and protect battery health.
How does the XCU02PT compare to the XCU02PTX1?
Both include the same XCU02Z tool body. The XCU02PT includes two standard 5.0Ah batteries; the XCU02PTX1 is the high-capacity variant bundled with higher-amp-hour or upgraded batteries. Verify the current bundle on Makita's product page.
Can I use the XCU02PT batteries in other 18V tools?
Yes. The included BL1850B batteries work in every Makita 18V LXT Star-symbol tool, from drills to circular saws to oscillating tools.
Is the XCU02PT suitable for felling trees?
The XCU02PT with its 12 in. bar is ideal for pruning, limbing, and cutting small-diameter trees and logs. For felling larger trees, consider the XCU03PT (14 in.) or XCU04PT (16 in.) with more bar length and power.
