These are not part of Makita’s official professional battery platform — they are entry‐level cordless drills marketed with a Makita name and a 21 V battery, but they are not genuine professional Makita 18 V LXT or 40 V XGT tools that use standard Makita rechargeable battery systems. They are typically generic/third‐party tools branded as “Makita” for local sale.
Many cordless drills labeled “21 V” use lithium‐ion battery packs where the number refers to peak voltage — similar to how some brands advertise 20 V MAX even though the real nominal voltage is closer to 18 V.
