Moreover, Makita's 18V LXT batteries boast the fastest charging times in their categories, which means users can maximize their working time while minimizing downtime. It’s important to note that these batteries are sold separately. To enhance tool performance and prolong battery life, Makita incorporated Star Protection Computer Controls. This advanced communication technology allows for real-time data exchange between Star Protection-equipped tools and batteries. It effectively monitors operating conditions during use, helping to prevent issues such as overloading, over-discharging, and overheating.

The versatility of the XWT15Z allows it to be utilized with Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Batteries marked with a star symbol, signifying the presence of Star Protection technology.

In summary, the BL Brushless Motor in this impact wrench provides a maximum torque of 240 ft.lbs. and a Nut-Busting Torque of 430 ft.lbs.
