Backpack Power Supply for LXT X2 and XGT Tools
Makita ConnectX, LXT, LXT X2 & XGT Portable Backpack Power Supply
The Makita Portable Backpack Power Supply PDC01 is a versatile battery carrier designed to extend the runtime of compatible 18V LXT, 36V (18V X2) LXT, 40V max XGT, and ConnectX equipment. Instead of placing multiple batteries directly on a power tool, the backpack transfers power through a connector cord, helping move battery weight away from the tool and onto the user's back.
The PDC01 can accommodate up to four 18V LXT lithium-ion batteries, allowing users to build a higher-capacity portable power source for demanding outdoor power equipment and compatible cordless tools.
Key Features
- Multi-Platform Compatibility: Designed to work with ConnectX equipment and compatible LXT, LXT X2, and XGT products using the appropriate adapters.
- Four-Battery Capacity: Holds up to four 18V LXT lithium-ion batteries.
- Extended Runtime: Provides up to 4X runtime with compatible 18V LXT products and up to 2X runtime with compatible 36V (18V X2) LXT products, depending on the application and batteries used.
- Battery Weight Distribution: Transfers battery weight from compatible handheld equipment to the backpack for improved tool balance.
- Individual Battery Indicators: Built-in LED indicators allow the user to monitor the charge status of the batteries individually.
- Detachable Battery Box: The battery box can be removed from the harness and used as a stationary power supply.
- Adapter-Based Compatibility: Optional adapters allow connection to compatible LXT products.
- Direct ConnectX Compatibility: Compatible ConnectX equipment can connect directly without an additional adapter.
Four-Battery Capacity
The PDC01 features four battery terminals for 18V LXT batteries. Users can load two or four batteries depending on the application and connect the backpack to compatible equipment through the supplied cable and appropriate connection system.
Using multiple batteries provides significantly more available runtime than relying on a single battery mounted directly to the tool.
Extended Runtime for LXT Equipment
For compatible 18V LXT products, the PDC01 can provide up to four times the runtime, while compatible 36V (18V X2) LXT equipment can receive up to twice the runtime, subject to battery capacity, tool load, and operating conditions.
This makes the backpack particularly useful for outdoor power equipment and other applications where frequent battery changes would interrupt productivity.
Compatibility with XGT and ConnectX
The PDC01 is also part of Makita's broader ConnectX ecosystem. ConnectX equipment can connect directly, while compatible 40V max XGT and LXT products can be connected using the appropriate adapter.
For 40V max XGT products, Makita specifies the use of the appropriate XGT adapter. For 36V (18V X2) LXT products, the 36V adapter provides the required connection.
Adapters are application-specific and may be sold separately. Always verify compatibility with the exact tool model before purchase.
Improved Tool Balance
One practical advantage of the backpack configuration is that the batteries no longer need to remain attached directly to compatible handheld equipment. Moving the battery load to the backpack can reduce the weight carried at the tool and improve overall balance.
This can be especially useful when operating outdoor power equipment for extended periods.
Detachable Battery Box
The battery box can be detached from the harness and used as a stationary power supply. This adds flexibility for applications where carrying the battery pack is unnecessary.
Ideal Applications
The Makita Portable Backpack Power Supply is suitable for:
- Commercial landscaping
- Lawn and grounds maintenance
- String trimming
- Blowing and cleanup
- Compatible outdoor power equipment
- Extended-runtime LXT applications
- Compatible XGT equipment
- ConnectX commercial equipment
- Professional maintenance work

Important Compatibility Note
The PDC01 should not be confused with Makita's newer 1,200Wh and 1,500Wh ConnectX backpack power supplies. The PDC01 uses up to four 18V LXT batteries, while products such as the PDC1200 and PDC1500 are integrated high-capacity ConnectX power supplies.
Why Choose the Makita PDC01?
The Makita ConnectX, LXT, LXT X2 & XGT Portable Backpack Power Supply is a practical solution for professionals who need longer cordless runtime without constantly swapping batteries. Its four-battery capacity, detachable battery box, individual charge indicators, and compatibility across Makita's cordless platforms make it particularly useful for demanding outdoor power equipment applications.
By moving the battery load away from compatible handheld tools and onto the backpack, the PDC01 can also help improve tool balance while extending working time between battery changes.
