Makita U.S.A., Inc. has expanded its charging lineup with two new overnight charging solutions built for operations that rely on large numbers of cordless tools and outdoor‑power‑equipment batteries.
The company announced the release of the 40V max XGT and 18V LXT 8 Port Charging Case (BCC01) and the 40V max XGT 12 Port Charging Case (BCC02), both designed to help maintenance teams, grounds crews, and fleet operations manage high‑volume charging without upgrading electrical infrastructure.
According to Makita, the biggest barrier for organizations transitioning to fully cordless operations is not tool performance—it’s power management.
“The biggest challenge in converting to a completely cordless jobsite or operation is ensuring timely, consistent power management and the expense involved,” said Robert Monroe, Product Manager, Drilling, Fastening and Expansion, Makita U.S.A. “As we continue to support our users, we’re excited to introduce these unique chargers to make charging easy, reliable, and convenient without the huge expense of upgraded infrastructure!”

The BCC01 supports both 40V max XGT batteries and 18V LXT batteries when paired with the 18V LXT Adapter for XGT Chargers (ADP10, sold separately). The case charges up to eight batteries, cycling four at a time to avoid overloading circuits. It also doubles as a transport case, allowing crews to organize and move batteries easily between job sites or across large campuses.
Up to four BCC01 units can be connected to a single dedicated 15A circuit, enabling overnight charging of up to 32 batteries without requiring electrical upgrades. For operations with mixed XGT and LXT platforms, the BCC01 provides a consolidated charging solution that reduces clutter and simplifies fleet‑wide battery management.
12 Port Charging Case (BCC02)

For higher‑volume charging needs, the BCC02 offers capacity for 12 XGT batteries, cycling four at a time for consistent performance. Like the BCC01, up to four units can run on a single 15A circuit, allowing as many as 48 batteries to be charged overnight. The case is designed for operations that rely heavily on XGT‑powered equipment and need predictable, repeatable charging cycles without manual intervention.
Makita notes that the BCC02 is particularly suited for overnight charging in fleet environments where tools must be ready at the start of each shift. By cycling batteries in groups of four, the system prevents circuit overload while ensuring steady charging throughput.
XGT System Overview
Makita’s XGT platform is built around 40V max lithium‑ion batteries engineered for high‑demand applications traditionally powered by corded, gas, or pneumatic equipment.
The system includes more than 170 products and incorporates advanced brushless motors, digital communication between tool and battery, and durability features designed for industrial use.
XGT is positioned as a full‑scale cordless replacement for equipment that previously required higher power levels.
