Looks like the $48 black colour batteries are back. Can see it on website and stock in some stores.
This 4.0Ah battery from Ozito’s Power X Change range provides ample power to handle any task. Compatible with any tool from the Power X Change range, simply plug it in and get started on your next D.I.Y. project.

Whats the difference between black and red ones?
https://www.bunnings.com.au/ozito-pxc-18v-4-0ah-lithium-ion-…
The colour
any differences in the 'black' vs normal?
Cultural diversity
Once you go black you never go back
Nothing apart from the black ones are a promotional item, and were $29 at one stage (snagged a few then)
What is the normal price?
Bummer. Bunnings is 50km away from where I am this Easter and I was JUST there 45 mins ago. Just got home and saw this…might have to see if I can order online…
Never mind. They seem to be out of stock in every store up and down the Qld coast.
Place an online order. Collect once you are back.
Can't place an online order. No stock available
May be store specific. Showing up as $75.90 online for me.
No stock every where in WA.
No stock anywhere in NSW
Katoomba
Every so often (usually when Aldi have theirs on sale), the standard ones go on sale for about $48 or 2 for $80-99 in the starter kit.
e.g. www.ozbargain.com.au/node/680523
More often the starter pack goes down to $98 or $99 though.
If you ever can source the 4.0Ah at ~$40 mark, my recommendation is to just go for it, but test it a few times as soon as you get it as I've had a couple of duds. Bunnings were completely fine with like for like replacement though.
I have a two pack+charger combo, they don't perform as well as the two that came with the 36v mower, should I exchange them?
If they don't hold the charge as they should then would exchange while still under warranty.
(3 years)
Holds charge, doesn't perform as well
I bought that mower recently too - surprisingly good, and excellent at mulching. This comment applies to the self-propelled version.
The first thing I did was make a video of the mower in use in case of any duration issues within the 3yr warranty.
I just bought a couple of these black versions from Katoomba so will do the same. It be interesting to compare.
If it doesn't last as long as others, then think you have a case for replacement.
Bunnings are generally pretty good with replacing, but often depends on who you get at the service desk.
These batteries will degrade with age, even if sitting on the shelf for a few years, therefore I always check new ones as soon as I get them (even as part of a kit) & take back for replacement if not up to scratch.
so are these ones being sold now all the ones that people have returned like that?…..
How long is charge time? Taking me 60min for 3ah…
75mins it says on back of compact fast charger (label)
Haven't seen any Aldi special buys for Workzone stuff yet on the website. Anyone know?
Though having just done a shopping run my local still has plenty of leftover chargers from way back :P
Placed an order:
"Good Evening. Unfortunately we do not have the batteries in stock that you have ordered. Would you like something else or are we ok to cancel and refund. Please advise. Thankyou Rgds Denise Bunnings Please do not reply."
Cool cool.
9 minutes on hold for them to disconnect.
Call back and they answer and hang up.
Call back again. "Oh yea, I just tried to put you through".
Transfers call
"Hello this Sharron"
"Sharron, I received message saying to call you regarding an order that can't be fulfilled"
"Oh right, I'll put you through"
Transfers call
"Bunnings click and collect"
"I received a message saying to call you regarding an order that can't be fulfilled"
"Yes, we don't have any in stock - there's a whole bunch of you that just placed an order. Did it get blasted on the website or something"
"I'm not sure. Is it possible to get a 4AH regular battery"
"Ooooh, I don't know. I'll have to ask a manager. I'll text you"
Disconnects line
This has been not worth the effort imo.
What do you suggest - I have a dud battery that was given to me with an Ozito drill a year and a half ago (so I don't have the receipt).
Will Bunnings replace it?
Without proof of purchase I reckon you'd be out of luck
You'll need some kind of photo ID without proof of purchase, they don't do bank statements. Source: Bunnings staff member.
But I'm not sure if ACCC agrees with this?
I revived a overdischarged ozito battery following youtube video. You need a working battery for that though. My battery was sitting in the shelf for maybe a year and the charger showed that it's overdischarged.
When they are down to $29 again I will buy another 6.
How many of these do i need to purchase to turn my car into a tesla?
Why is there so little stock for such a commonly needed item?
see above comments on red version: that is the "common" item
Buying anything from Bunnings online is laced with disappointment
Nice. I've been using Aldi 4ah batteries with an Ozito converter. They're $50 or cheaper when on special buys
Where did you get the Ozito converter?
Me too. I prefer the aldi batteries because they use the 21700 batteries in a configuration of 5s1p (5 batteries), whereas the ozito appear to use 18650 batteries in a 5s2p configuration (10 batteries), so the aldi battery pack is slimmer. There may be less sag in a 5s2p configuration, but the aldi battery drives my angle grinder just fine.
I printed an adapter courtesy of thingiverse.
I don't know if I have faulty 4.0ah black batteries however when I use them with my brushless impact driver and drill they stop when the going gets tough. I am going to bet the cells in the black batteries are different to the red battery cells. I reckon they aren't rated for high current discharge.
Some stock showing up now.
Aldi selling power tools this Sat. Lucky for us. Probably last time at these prices before inflation kicks in.
Looks like these are back in stock at most stores

How do you get this data?
Powepass I think
But powerpass doesn't give quantity I believe
I don't think he's telling
That's very ungrateful and rude to call someone selfish for sharing information and spending their personal time collating and formatting it for us on OzBargain. You could have worded that a bit better, but instead you come off sounding like a d!ckhead.
The pot calling the kettle black. vu has been asked before by countless people and never responds. It'd be good to have it attached to every Bunnings deal.
