![]() Makita 18V X2 with 2x 5.0Ah batteries: 180 watt-hours.Makita XGT 40V Max with 4.0Ah battery: 144 watt-hours.Makita XGT 40V Max with 2.5Ah battery: 90 watt-hours.Meaning, you’ll still need to change out the battery on the XGT saw much sooner compared to the 18V X2 saw, but perhaps not quite as quickly. I would presume that Makita dialed down the speed to help stretch out single-battery runtime. ![]() What this means is that if you have a Makita XGT track saw equipped with a 2.5Ah battery, and an 18V X2 track saw equipped with 2x 5.0Ah batteries, the 40V Max XGT (36V nominal) tool will have HALF the electrical energy at its disposal compared to the 18V X2 (36V nominal) saw. Makita’s XGT 40V Max 2.5Ah battery has the same watt-hour energy capacity as a single 18V 5.0Ah battery. The new XGT track saw has a ~22.2% slower max speed. Makita’s XGT track saw is slower than their 18V X2 model, with respect to rotational speed (RPM).
