The package includes the blower, four 18V LXT 5.0Ah batteries and a dual-port rapid charger so crews can stay productive with minimal downtime. Key engineering features — BL brushless motor, Extreme Protection Technology (XPT), and a 6-stage speed dial — focus on longer motor life, reliable performance in harsh conditions, and precise control over airflow and runtime.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow powerful is this blower compared with gas or single-battery models?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen run with two 18V LXT 5.0Ah batteries, the XBU02PT1 produces air velocity up to 120 MPH and airflow up to 473 CFM, matching many small gas blowers while staying emissions-free.
