The CXT 12V Max system is a battery system used by Makita. In 2021 there were over 75 tools for this system.

The system previously has the name CXT 10.8V but somewhere around 2018 the branding changed. Despite the different name and voltage both systems are fully compatible.

The system is however not compatible with the older 10.8V battery system which uses different shaped batteries.

The battery packs contain three 3.6 volt 18650 Lithium-Ion cells in series to produce 10.8 volt output. When fully charged the voltage can reach up to 12 volts. That is why this battery system, like several others, is marketed as 12 volts but actually has a nominal rating of 10.8 volt.
