I hate to be the person who asks you directions on the street.
Im pretty sure thats normal price as ive been waiting for stock to appear at my local bunnings for the last few weeks
Yes.
Normal price. It cost me $13 in 2018. Plenty of stock then.
Most of the time it sits idle. However, it has been valuable for a few camping trips / blackouts since then.

Not much stock. only in a few stores in VIC i think
I think the stock checked is broken, it only displays Vic results
I have one of these but never used it. After buying it i decided its totally useless to me
I do this alot it seems
Same… Still have the non brushless ozito sds in box at home. Never used haha
Only a small charger plug in to main will do , why have to get a big charger and this , and still have to plug in to main.
It doesn't plug into the mains, it clips onto the Ozito 18V batteries.

5V DCI think he means the battery charger has to plug into mains.
big charger and this
Yep, I re-read and you're right.
Yes but once charged, it is portable, which is the main advantage over charging directly from a power outlet.
Sorry I think it use the charger .
Not really a deal unless you have a special use case.
the 1A is mostly useless, and the 2A will take a long time to charge your phone compared to a power bank with fast charge.
Isn't that the case with everything posted here?
Not a deal unless you want it?
Price wise though I think it is the standard price…
Thats not what I meant though.
Most people have phones with fast charge.
99% of people have a phone that charges at 2A or higher.
I just don't think its a very good product and I want people to know why, thats all.
It will be handy when you have power outage. I was down to my last power bank last time.
Pretty sure this has been at this price for a while. Kinda cool little devices but I've used them just for their plastic molding as a convenient way of getting power out of the Ozito batteries to use for other things :)
I've noticed my few regular Bunnings have been unable to sell those plastic battery holders and thus marked down to around $6.
Was a completely useless thing in my book too, until it clicked (no pun intended) in my head that they would make a great holder for this purpose, for just $1.50 each.Great minds! I grabbed four of those holders for a future project I have in mind ;)
It's a good idea, cheaper than buying a power bank if you already got Ozito batteries. But I can't find it on Bunnings website.
Potential 72000w power bank with a 18v 4.0Ah battery.
72kW power bank? That'd be enough to fast charge a Tesla!
I think you mean 72Wh.
You're right 4A X 18v = 72wh.
So 4000mAh battery then..as labelled… I think.
Getting mixed up with 72 watts every second for an hr. 72x60x60… Think that would be just over 259 000…um joules.
1Amp output lol, even 2amp… Everything I have is at least 3amp. Those earlier chargers take so much longer at those lower amps.
It'll still just take just over two hours to charge a 4,000mAh mobile from 0% to 100%.
Fast enough for me!
This is a great product for a niche market.
For any OzBargainers like myself though, I've got more powerbanks than anything thanks to other deals - I've got no need for this!
I'd be more interested if there was a 12V variant around. Would make setting up things like LED lights or strips with no power points around.
Easy! Replace the guts with a small & inexpensive buck converter and throw a speaker terminal where the USB ports are… job done! I'll see if I can find a pic of the one I built. Works perfectly!
heh yep that's the idea of those plastic holders ;)
Haven't gotten around to ordering some 12V bucks though. Or I just haven't come across appropriate ones to do 2A~3A output. I haven't had time to look that hard for one atm.
You might struggle fitting it into that enclosure, but this one will certainly do the trick!
@SteveAndBelle: For a buck converter, maybe, but in terms of other electronics, definitely not.
24. Size(approx): 65 x 47 x 22mm (L x W x H)
@SteveAndBelle: I do have a bunch I got for a different project which are that style - you cut the default variable setting and bridge the selected one. But from memory the current rating was not as high. Maybe I just had a dyslexic moment and didn't read the specs of it correctly. I'll go back and dig up the links and re-check. I don't remember them being that expensive though (relatively ofcourse) which might be why they have less oommphh.
@RubenM: Yeah, 3A max so 2A-ish comfortably. All depends what the application is as to which buck module is needed.
Ah yes… here we go. Took a while to find it but here's one of the versions I mocked up a couple of years ago, seen here natively powering an SMSL AD18 Amp.
If you wire a cigarette-lighter socket to this, you will be able to run your car-charger with fast charge Apple/Qualcomm etc.
Most lighter-socket devices are rated at 12-24V, so the 16-21V output range of an 18V-nominal battery is good. But check first!
e.g.
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Adapter-Socket-Female-Car-Cigar-…Get one of these and a cheap makita (or whatever) knockoff battery and you can Frankenstein together an adapter to use your cheap ozito batteries on other tools.
