Price doesn't seem to be updated online but (EDIT: Website has now been updated.) I just bought a couple for $29 each at Bunnings O'Connor, WA.

I assume this is nationwide to match ALDI.

EDIT: The discount is only for the black boxed batteries, not the red boxed ones which are the same except for the different packaging, battery colour, GTIN (barcode), and inventory number:

Home & Garden 18V Ozito Rechargeable Battery

    Great price, don't need atm but probably will buy for spare at this price. Cheers OP.

    • fruxo on 05/01/2020 - 17:20

      I might do the same. If I don't use them for a couple of years, will they degrade or be perfectly fine?

        Better to charge them from time to time

        • brendanm on 05/01/2020 - 19:05

          Incorrect, Li ion is best stored at approx 50% charge.

          • elusive on 05/01/2020 - 21:28
            +3

            @brendanm: Still better to charge from time to time. The absolute worst thing you can do to a Li-ion battery is let it deep discharge.

            Generally a partial charge once a year should hold alright. Once every 6 months to be safer.

            • bargaino on 05/01/2020 - 22:31
              +1

              @elusive: They should be very low self-discharge, and last a couple of years before needing top-up.
              But it would be sensible to check voltage after 6 months if storing.

          • nfr on 05/01/2020 - 22:51
            +1

            @brendanm: Right, because storing at 50% excludes charging from time to time.

            • brendanm on 05/01/2020 - 23:07

              @nfr: Lol, that's totally what you meant. Also, consumer power tools often have chargers that will charge to 40-50% soc. /S

          • Jackson on 05/01/2020 - 23:22

            @brendanm: Actually 40 is what I have heard, but it's too low if you need to use it, so must people settle for 60

        Light user here. I keep all my tool batteries around the 3 out of 4 bar mark. Still plenty of charge left for the odd DIY job.

        Yup, that is my adapter design. Was about to post it when i saw you had already done so.

        I use Milwaukee for most stuff, but the occasional Ryobi and Ozito tool and all powered off the Ozito batteries.

          Thanks for publishing it freely. I see others selling them on gumtree etc, so appreciate your generosity.

        • MisterNobody on 05/01/2020 - 20:54

          Do you have a recommemdatiom for Ozito (battery) -> Milwaukee M18 tools?

          Also, if AEG 18v tools can run off Ozito. Because their lime trimmer looks the goods but I have heard both milwaukee and aeg have circuitry between too amd battwry that optimize battery usage/runtime/power.

          Cheers.

          • porterble on 06/01/2020 - 08:48

            @MisterNobody: I use genuine Milwaukee batteries for the red stuff, mainly because of the generous tool+skin deals from US Black Friday last year that saw me coming home with 5 skins and 9 batteries.

        • ravzter on 05/01/2020 - 22:38

          Anyway I could use them on 56V ego?

          I don't use these products. But doing stuff like that is what I wished I was doing with my life. I spend a heap of personal time for one person at a time, which I enjoy, but really bad 'value'. This is genius!

    • mudshuvel78 on 05/01/2020 - 17:18

      check gumtree? I remember seeing a guy on there making adapters for these and Aldi batteries to fit all sorts of brands. Can't remember which ones exactly though.

    • RangaWal on 05/01/2020 - 18:54

      I should have said, wish someone made an adapter I could trust. Apparently there's risks using mismatched brands of batteries due to the chipsets used.

      • raydragon on 05/01/2020 - 19:00
        +1

        I've bought one of the Gumtree adapters for use in a blower, seems to work well enough with the Ozito batteries if that puts your mind at ease.
        Best to probably use an Ozito charger though to charge the batteries, thats possibly where you could get into trouble. That's what i do anyway, Not using the Ryobi Charger to charge them.

        • bargaino on 05/01/2020 - 22:41

          You only really need to match charger to battery for fast-charge, as the temperature sensor may not match between brands.

          But a generic CC/CV limited charger will work. A 2A limit would be prudent.

      • brendanm on 05/01/2020 - 19:07
        +1

        There isn't. The low voltage cut off electronics are in the battery. The only other terminal/s is used for a temp sensor for charging.

      • porterble on 05/01/2020 - 19:16
        +2

        There is no risk with the Ozito batteries. They supply voltage separately to the charging circuit and have the low voltage cutoff in the battery.

        Just use the Ozito charger to charge it

      • Ulysses31 on 08/01/2020 - 09:36

        You can trust the adapters.
        You're now referring to something totally different, compared to a 'dumb' lump of melted plastic and some metal pins. And with it comes significant costs.

    • dufflover on 05/01/2020 - 22:27
      +1

      Why wouldn't you just adapt Aldi Workzone batteries then as they are regularly discounted even cheaper than this?

    • cvas on 06/01/2020 - 11:56

      Wow that's handy. Anyone with a 3D printer interested in printing and posting one to me for a fee of course?

    • tap on 07/01/2020 - 11:03

      They're easy to make if you don't have a 3D printer. Simply hack an old Ryobi top half with a cheap Ozito charger bottom. Basically glue them together and you're done. I've done one for my Ryobi tools and also made an adapter for the Dyson Vac V6 (battery pack died - so I hacked bottom of a Ozito tool to the bottom of the Vacuum).

      • fyeahm on 07/01/2020 - 12:43

        Does the type of Ozito charger matter? E.g. Eco, Standard, Fast chargers.

      I needed this too. Ended up buying a skin from China and planning to buy this to shuck the 18650 batteries out
      Anyone know if they are directly transplantable into the Makita skins? Given they are both 18V I can't see anything else that makes me hesitant

      • bio on 05/01/2020 - 23:42
        +1

        You can 3d-print your own adapter instead of transplanting the cells: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2440763

        Edit: Sorry, that seems to be the other way around. You can probably buy adapters off ebay though.

      • SolidworksError on 06/01/2020 - 22:38
        +1

        I recommend you just buy the 18650's directly, you want a cell like a Sony VTC with respectable current capacity.

        They will both be lithium ion 18650's, so same voltage and package. Current capacity and capacity will vary.

        • diazepam on 07/01/2020 - 10:09

          I had a quick look online and damn they seem expensive?
          Any particular reason why I can’t just shuck the cells out of these?

          • SolidworksError on 07/01/2020 - 13:28
            +2

            @diazepam: In bulk, around $3-4 AUD/cell for quality is reasonable.

            $10-12, would be an absolute rip-off.

            There's presumably 10 cells in the 4ah packs (5s 2p, 2000 mAh). So, at $2.90 ea, they're decent-good value and probably worth it if you feel like it.

            I personally like cells like the Sony VTC because the capacity is fantastic (3000 mAh) and current capacity is excellent. But, most low volume importers in aus rip you off (I'm guessing you were finding listings for $10-14/cell).

            Just a quality/quantity tradeoff. These arent a bad buy by any means.

            • diazepam on 07/01/2020 - 17:54

              @SolidworksError: Cheers mate.
              I won't be needing anymore than 10 of these, so I don't think I can get it any lower than taking these apart.

              (Wish I could get these for $3-$4 each haha and you are correct because when I quickly googled everything was returning at least $10…)

                @bwatt72: I'm in WA and I'm really happy with it. Was $129 and it works great. I have a pretty big lawn and this works great. I haven't had the other Ozito Whipper Snippers with those little red blades, but everything I read about them was negative which is why I paid more and got the proper line trimmer.

      • blakey32 on 07/01/2020 - 01:42

        Because it was cheaper than buying the whipper snipper that came with 2x 2Ah included batteries for $100 more, than it was to pay $69 for one 4Ah battery…

        Our store is still $69. Went in today haha.
