Specifications

Voltage What this means Voltage identifies the battery platform. Some makers quote a peak (max) figure at the start of discharge while others quote nominal, so 18 V nominal and 20 V max packs usually have the same cell count. Higher-voltage platforms typically serve more demanding tools. Batteries only fit tools from the matching line.	40 V
Battery capacity (each) What this means Amp-hours (Ah) is the battery's charge capacity. At the same voltage, a higher Ah pack runs longer between charges but is usually larger and heavier. Smaller packs keep the tool lighter for overhead and light work; larger packs suit saws, grinders and other high-draw tools.	4.0 Ah
Battery line What this means Battery line is the maker's platform name, which determines which tools and chargers the pack fits. Makers generally keep one battery design across a platform, but batteries from different makers are not interchangeable. Buying into a line is often a longer-term choice than buying a single tool.	40 V max XGT
