Just saw Bunnings are selling 2 x 4Ah Ozito battery packs + 2 x charger for $115, RRP for a single 4Ah battery is $99 (although they sometimes have the Aldi-competing black ones on sale for $49) so that's not a bad deal.

That probably was a mistake. The link goes nowhere now.

Interesting bundle. I could do with a couple more batteries, but I already have four chargers.

Do these batteries fit other brands, or just Ozito?

 

I have a couple of Milwaukee drills and am always on the lookout for replacement batteries for them as they are now getting on.

Just Ozito and Einhell.

 

Ozito started in Australia in the mid 90's before the German Einhell company bought them out.

Cheers.. I didn’t think they would.

If you just need (one) battery, the 4 Ah "black version" is $59 each. Same cell and nearly identical circuit as the "red" version according to some.

You can get adapters that fit between the battery you have and the tool you want to use it on but not all combinations are available.

You could just flog the extra chargers on here for a tenner and recover some of the costs...

 

 

(No idea what the standard chargers are worth since they're not sold separately AFAIK).

They're not "nearly identical", they're the same thing, the black ones are sold to compete with Aldi's on-special batteries in Australia. That is, when Aldi do a special on 4Ah batteries, Bunnings list their black 4Ah's at the same price so as not to be undercut but keep them separate from the full-price red ones.

In case anyone is interested, Bunnings has this promotion running again. Two 4Ah batteries and two fast chargers, for $115. I picked up a pack yesterday, plenty of stock at the Porirua outlet.
