once you "buy in" to a given manufacturer's cordless tools, you don't

got 3x 3.0Ah batteries and a charger with a drill/impact combo set and
have bought several "bare" tools since, only recently when I purchased a
36V tool did I buy a pair of 5.0Ah batteries along with a dual charger.
I see that next year Makita are to launch an "XGT" range of 40V
tools/batteries, presumably they'll gradually phase out the 36V dual LXT
tools?

They'll be needing shutters on the battery and charger connections soon.
