Will the Makita BL4040 40V max XGT 4.0Ah battery work with the Makita GFD01Z 40V max XGT brushless 1/2 in. driver-drill (tool only)?
Yes. Both use Makita 40V max XGT battery platform.
Both records are reviewed against the manufacturers' sources; sources last checked 2026-10-14. Informational only: confirm with the manufacturer before buying.
Why
- ✓ Both use Makita 40V max XGT battery platform.
Good to know
- Not cross-compatible with 18V LXT: XGT batteries do not fit LXT tools and LXT batteries do not fit XGT tools.
- Makita's ADP10 adapter lets a 40V max XGT charger charge 18V LXT batteries. That is charging only, not tool compatibility.
- XGT batteries need XGT chargers (e.g., DC40RA).
