Makita 40V ConnectX Backpack Blower CBU04
Not to be confused with the XGT 40V line, the 40V ConnectX system uses a proprietary tool connection and are powered by the 40V ConnectX portable power supply. It can also connect to Makita X2 18V (36V) LXT and 40V XGT via adapters. Not only does the portable power supply provide far more runtime than typical power tool batteries, but keeps the weight away from handheld tools. For instance, this new backpack blower keeps the weight of the battery on the backpack which won’t weigh you down as much as if the added weight was on the blower itself.
This blower having a brushless motor provides performance similar to a 64cc gas backpack blower with up to 696 CFM. And the runtime is excellent with up to 2 hours of runtime when paired with the PDC1500 portable power supply pack.
All your controls are on the tube mounted trigger handle with variable speed trigger that also offers cruise control so you focus on the job at hand.
And since it’s battery powered, you reap all the benefits of electric such as instant push button starting, no fumes, no consumable gas or oil to replace, no engine maintenance, and lower sound at a rated 62 dB(A).
It’s available for order now for $769 as a baretool.

Makita 40V Max ConnectX 1,500Wh Portable Power Supply PDC1500
Not to be confused with the XGT 40V line, the 40V ConnectX system uses a proprietary tool connection and are powered by the 40V ConnectX portable power supply. It can also connect to Makita X2 18V (36V) LXT and 40V XGT via adapters. Not only does the portable power supply provide far more runtime than typical power tool batteries, but keeps the weight away from handheld tools.
This portable power supply has its own integrated battery inside and offers a massive 1,500 Wh of capacity for extra long runtimes. It has a larger capacity than Makita’s previous PDC1200 unit which offers 1,200 Wh.
This battery provides ConnectX power tools with hours of runtime. Conveniently Makita has provided us with a bar chart above that provides us with runtime info for several tools. For example, their CML01 mower can run for up to 4 hours which is up to 2-4/5 acres and is a nice increase from their lower capacity PDC1200 power supply. Their previous CBU02 backpack blower can get up to 5 hours of runtime and their handheld blower the CBU01 can get up to 6 hours of runtime, just to name a few.
This portable power supply can be worn as a backpack when fitted with the appropriate backpack harness (sold separately). Or can be plugged directly onto select tools like 40V ConnectX mowers.
It has several features such as a metal charging port and reaches a full charge in 450 minutes (7.5 hours). Has an integrated LED fuel gauge, integrated cord routing channels, and integrated carry handle for easy transport.
It’s available for order now for $1599 battery only.
