    Generic batteries are $80-$100. Anybody had any personal experience with genuine v generic batteries? Cant seem to find any disaster stories or quality reviews. But wanting a spare battery when the battery just seems to die when you are on your last 2-3 sqm of lawn 😮‍💨

      Yes, I had 4 x "9Ah" (didn't last as long as my 2.5Ah) 18V Ryobi batteries. All stopped either outputting power or charging within a fortnight. Luckily bought through eBay so got a refund.

      Still, wasn't worth the hassle, potential fires, potential broken skins/tools, and not even worth the performance if they hadn't broken. Just look out for sales on genuine batteries.

      I haven't tried 36V knockoffs but I doubt there'd be any improvement.

      Do a google search for lithium battery fire if you're looking for a disaster story. Personally I'd rather run the risk of spending a little more on a known quality product that rather than a no brand battery which you're unsure of the safety or build quality.

      By all means go buy the cheap one if you won't, but don't go crying if your house burns down.

      I see a bunch of people post about it on the Ryobi FB pages…
      Summary: Sometimes they're OK (and perform about 70% as good as OEM), most of the time they're only 1/2 as good, and then there's the odd "my house burnt down" comment…

      The OEM batteries can get pretty warm when I've been mowing, the non-genuine ones would be even worse.

      TLDR: Get this deal. Keep them at about 1/2 charge until you need em for maximum life.

      Years ago I bought a generic 5.0 Ah battery for $45 or something like that. Pretty cheap. It lasted about 2 years. I was mainly using it in my Ryobi whipper snipper. It eventually stopped working for the whipper snipper, but found it still worked in my Ryobi blower, and it's still working in that device to this day. I would potentially go another cheap one again.
      Perhaps I got lucky. I dunno. This is just my experience.

      • incipient on 17/10/2024 - 14:18

        The issue with brandless batteries is they don't care how they're made, or how they fail.

        If they have a high chance of overheating and catching fire when charging? Who cares as long as they sell em cheap.

        9 in 10 may be ok. But for the 1 in 10 chance of a battery fire, it's up to the individual to choose if they want that risk. And if your insurance covers it.

      I never buy aftermarket batteries for anything anymore. They don't last as long, runtime isn't anywhere near as long and more chance of them catching fire as you don't know what cells or cheap ass electronics they put in them.

      DON'T DO IT

    • jinkerjinx on 20/10/2024 - 23:17

      waitley brand from the official waitley store on aliexpress seem to be genuinely decent.
      (google for reviews and teardowns)

      I bought some recently and they have good cells, hold good charge.. seem to do high draw stuff as good as genuine (I was grinding a lot with them).

      main downside is, they don't make ryobi.. so i use an adapter to use their dewalt ripoffs in my ryobi stuff
      unfortunately, these adapters seem to be a bottleneck of sorta.. I've had one slightly melt in my lawnmower.. so I now only use genuine for mowing.

      (edit: considering mounting some small fans or other ways to extract heat from the battery compartment, even genuine heat up excessively in my 18v mower)

    • freedomj on 20/11/2024 - 15:58

      I'll just hi-jack this to ask about generic adapters – are they safe?

      I get that this deal is solid and not skimping on the bits on or near the lithium that could get hot,

      but an adapter from say a Milwalkee to a Ryobi is just pins right? Stock a generic adapter and then if you need a battery in a pinch you can go to Mitre 10 get the cheapest one from Bunnings rather than being hemmed into Ryobi–Bunnings–exclusivity nonsense.

      They were 4ah last year as well, might have been 5 in previous years.

      • Dahje on 17/10/2024 - 12:28

        Was definitely last year, i bought a twin 5ah pack in Februay this year, left over stock from black friday sale 2023.

        • EFC94 on 17/10/2024 - 13:42

          Odd, I bought in black friday sale last year and both batteries are 4ah. Reviews on the Bunnings site from 12 months ago also indicate they were only 4ah.

          • Shitforbrains on 17/10/2024 - 15:23

            @EFC94: Last year there was a deal for a pair of 4Ah batteries then about a month later there was another deal for a pair of 5Ah batteries. They were posted here on Ozbargain.

    these are handy when connected to a 12v stepdown for camping batteries

    they shutdown when at 0% to prevent over discharging.

    I feel like the 4AH is the best balance between weight and runtime, definitely the most practical battery.

    Tempting, both my genuine 2.5ah batteries I have for my 36v blower and whipper snipper are pretty much cooked now after about 7 years… $280 for new batteries basically eliminates any potential "savings" from going electric though doesn't it.

      I feel as though most people miss this part about going with electric mowers. A good quality petrol mower can last a lifetime.

        With oil, fuel, filters, and carby services…

        • Binchicken22 on 17/10/2024 - 15:03

          I've got a 25 year old brigs and Stratton, in the last 14 years that I've owned it (was given it 2nd hand) I've spent $3.50 on a carby kit from eBay, $9 for a pack of 10 foam filters (still have like 8 brand new, normally just clean it) and a $9.99 4L bottle of 20-50w gulf western oil that I change every year or two.

          I use less than 10L of fuel a year and I'm on a 650sqm block.

    • turtlesinmypants on 17/10/2024 - 14:31

      Not that you go electric for a saving, I was curious, the AI tells me (and it may be wrong)

      Fuel Costs:
      - Average fuel consumption: Most petrol mowers use about 1 liter of fuel per hour of operation.
      - Fuel cost: Suppose the price of petrol is around $1.50 per liter (this can vary depending on location).
      - Usage: If you mow for 1 hour per week (52 weeks a year), that’s about 52 liters of fuel annually.
      - Fuel cost estimate:
      - $1.50 (per liter) x 52 liters = $78 per year for fuel.

      Over 7 years = $546 in fuel

      Similar to the petrol mower, assume 1 hour of mowing per week (52 hours per year).

      Electricity cost estimate:
      1.5 kWh (average) x 52 hours = 78 kWh per year
      78 kWh x $0.13 per kWh = $10.14 per year for electricity.
      Over 7 years = $70.98

      Personally, I just enjoy a whipper snipper that "just starts" , something my old fuel one stopped doing after 3 years. not in it for the saving, but the numbers don't look too shabby, even factoring in $280 for 2 new batteries over 7 years.

      • Binchicken22 on 17/10/2024 - 15:19

        That's a shit load of mowing. It takes me about 15-20m to mow a 650sqm corner block with a double story house on it. You'd have to have a massive yard to be mowing for 1hr.

        The next thing wrong is your idea of doing that every week of the year. Yes for the 3 months during summer, basically every week. The shoulder seasons would be every 2-3 weeks and winter is basically doesn't grow, so maybe once a month if you feel like it.

        So you can reduce that total fuel bill to about 1/10th I reckon. As I said, I use less than 10L per year.

        • turtlesinmypants on 17/10/2024 - 16:01

          I don't know what everyones mowing scenario is lol, it was just a comparison anyhow, and I don't really consider the electric a better "economic" proposition I was just personally curious

          Maybe these figures match you more closely?

          Fuel Costs:

          Fuel consumption: Petrol mowers typically use about 1 liter of fuel per hour of operation.
          You mow for 30 minutes per session, which means you’ll use 0.5 liters of fuel per session.
          Fuel cost: At $1.50 per liter, the fuel cost per session is $0.75 for 0.5 liters.
          Annual fuel cost estimate:
          $0.75 per session x 23 sessions = $17.25 per year for fuel.

          Electricity cost per session:
          0.75 kWh x $0.13 = $0.0975 per session (roughly 10 cents).

          Annual electricity cost estimate:
          $0.10 per session x 23 sessions = $2.30 per year for electricity.

          So $15 over 7 years = $105. Makes the electric a worse proposition if you have to buy $280 of batteries

          • Binchicken22 on 17/10/2024 - 17:59

            @turtlesinmypants: Yeah I think your revised figures are a lot closer to reality mate.

            I have a Ryobi 36v whipper snipper and it is good, I mainly got it to get rid of fuel mixing with my old 2 stroke one. But I've stuck with a petrol mower as it's reliable as anything and is literally cheaper to run anyway.

    If you're handy with the 3d printer and soldering it's not too difficult to make an adapter for Ozito batteries.

    I've been running the 36v ryobi inverter on two ozito pxc batteries for a while now.

    • Sweetnsour on 17/10/2024 - 15:13

      Thanks for the suggestion. I didnt think about using adapters to make use of other brand batteries

    • mctubster on 18/10/2024 - 09:25

      Any STL's to share? :)

      • wwwsam on 18/10/2024 - 09:55

        Not sure if I still have them, but I designed it in such a way that the 2 Ozito batteries sit perpendicular to the Ryobi 36V slot.
        Basically I can't guarantee it'll fit in anything other than the Ryobi 36V 300W inverter.

        • mctubster on 18/10/2024 - 09:58

          Yeah that's exactly what I have, with lots of 4Ah Ozito batts. Great little inverter. Do you have the Ozito batteries facing each other?

          • wwwsam on 29/10/2024 - 12:22

            @mctubster: No I have them both the same way, and facing to the side of the inverter.

  • frazel on 17/10/2024 - 19:35

    I purchased a generic for my lawn mower, it's been great. I think it was $80, but at this price I would buy genuine
