What batteries come with the XCU03PT?

How many cuts can the XCU03PT deliver per charge?
Using two 5.0Ah batteries, the XCU03PT can make a significant number of cuts per charge in typical firewood-sized logs. For precise cut counts, refer to Makita's published performance data.
Is the XCU03PT suitable for professional use?
The XCU03PT with its 14 in. bar and 36V brushless motor is capable of light to moderate professional tasks such as property maintenance, storm cleanup, and firewood processing. For heavy-duty professional logging, a larger 16 in. or gas-powered saw may be preferred.
Can I use the DC18RD charger included with the XCU03PT for other batteries?
Yes. The DC18RD dual-port rapid optimum charger works with all Makita 18V LXT batteries. It charges two batteries simultaneously and uses onboard communication to maximize charging speed while protecting battery health.
What is the difference between the XCU03PT and XCU03PTX1?
