Melbourne Tool Sales have the Makita 18V 5ah BL1850B battery for $130, appears to be the cheapest around at the moment.
Also free standard delivery too (at least to Canberra).
My local Bunnings price matched this twice today (begrudgingly) at $117 each!
Good spot, didn’t see that, have updated title. Might explain the unhappy look from staff when price matching at a Canberra store..
That’s a bit cheeky. I’ve never noticed that fine print.
Not sure why the staff at Bunnings need to begrudge the pricematch. It is company policy and doesn't come out of their wage…
They probably have to explain every pricematch they do to their superiors at some point.
I've had success with Makita price matching from this website quite a bit (in VIC), lots of skins etc, have never had an issue with PM.
The 5AH batteries are slightly cheaper here at $129.

Other notable mentions:
18V Orbital Sander $169, (Bunnings RRP $199), PM = $152.10
18V Planer $249, (Bunnings RRP $289), PM = $224.10
18V Trim Router $240, (Bunnings RRP $269), PM = $216
18V Jigsaw $240, (Bunnings RRP $269), PM = $216
Lots more in there, just make sure the model number is the same as the Bunnings one.
I've had success with PM woxomart as well, but boy oh boy do they give a bit of carry-on about it.
The last Bunnings bloke said that Woxomart were actually imports from the UK and almost refused the price match, until I finally convinced him. His last words before approving it were "Im going to get in trouble for this, but f*** it I can't be bothered"
The 6AH battery is comparatively good value at $139 too
Or, buy two (in below link). $124.50 each with $75 back via zip, if you spend over $500.

Likely VIC only for Bunnings PM? … on the same in-stock item that’s available for same-day delivery or collection, we'll beat it by 10%… https://www.bunnings.com.au/policies/price-policy
