    Im wondering what four skins I can get to go with this deal?

    Any suggestions

  • What's the original price?

        this is the 2nd time round… ozbargain cleaned out every store weeks ago

        i bought 3 and i only needed 1… there's still dregs here and there

          Buy this USB adapter. it will let your battery become a power bank. you can bring it everywhere to charge your phone.^_^

          • @onebee: That adapter looks pretty nice. A little slow I think but that's ok. Anyone know if a 4amp battery is the equivalent of a 4000mah power bank? That's not too much charge if it is.

            • +8

              @Dan83: Not equivalent bro. The 18v 4Ah battery can provide 72watt (18x4) for 1 hour long. (total energy stored is 72wh) On the other hand if you charge your mobile with 1A on 5v, the power is only 5watt. Ideally for the above battery this can run for 14.4hrs. (since the total energy stored stays the same 5x14.4=72wh). There will be energy loss during the step down voltage convert for sure 18v to 5v. But it won't be very significant. The rating used for power bank is confusing people who's not familiar with the power knowledge. That 4000mah basically means it has the total energy to run 5v with 4A (=4000mA) for 1 hour. which is 20wh. This energy unit 'wh' can be find in electricity bill in your everyday life, the electricity usage is measured in kwh which 1kwh = 1000wh. It's the unit to measure the juice in battery :)

                @Derek Unbelievable: So basically 4ah @ 18v would be somewhere around 3-4 times 4ah for 5v. So between 16 -20ah

                @Derek Unbelievable: Awesome info. It’s still a bit over my head. But good to know you would get a lot more out of a 4 ah 18 volt. This adapter will be great for camping then.

              • @Derek Unbelievable: It’s even worse than you described, but Thankyou for explaining it so well- this is way over the head of most people!

                What they seem to be doing is simply adding each cell’s capacity together- so if the powerbank has a 2s3p (6cell total, 3.7v cell) configuration using 2000mah cells for example, which would be 7.4v 4000mah.
                The current trend for these things is to ignore any useful power rating and add each cells capacity, example here being 12,000mAh

                I also note that they never qualify their “rating”/nameplate value. It’s a generic “ih, it’s 72 bahsquillion mAh, instead of stating something like 12,000 mAh @ 3.7V nom.

                Its pure, greasy marketing spin.

                • +1

                  @HelpMeiCantSee: As long as they are all rating it at the regular cell 3.7v i guess that's ok.

                  If everyone moved to a Wh rating instead it would make more logical sense. Would make comparing across chemistries and battery setups/voltages etc so much easier (in more than just power banks).

                  • @Duff5000: Problem is, they don’t output 3.7v ever. It’s akin to saying a truck has 200AH of battery because they have 2x 12v batteries. Why not use the cell rating and bump that up to 1200 AH because cell voltage in lead acid is 2V.

                    This “mAh capacity” thing is such greasy BS. It’s like giving the rated energy capacity to be 43Wh for a 10Ah cell because peak cell voltage is 4.3V. It’s asinine and childish at best, dishonest and deceptive otherwise.

                    • @HelpMeiCantSee:

                      Problem is, they don’t output 3.7v ever.

                      The cells inside typically do. I get why they did it. I have several old power banks that ran on 1 or 2 18650 cells. Stick a 2000mah 18650 cell in a case, sell it as a 2000mah power bank. Stick 2 2500mah cells in a case, sell it as 5000mah. It made sense in that it was the sum total of the cells in the pack. It was logical.

                      It’s akin to saying a truck has 200AH of battery because they have 2x 12v batteries. Why not use the cell rating and bump that up to 1200 AH

                      Not really. In that situation you are saying 12v, same with the 18v cordless tool batteries. Car batteries can easily be compared with other car batteries, if you sold it as 2v 1200ah you would probably confuse the hell out of people and they wouldn't touch your battery.

                      You dont have that with power bank. You cant really have that with power banks either, they often have multiple different output voltages.

                      This “mAh capacity” thing is such greasy BS. It’s like giving the rated energy capacity to be 43Wh for a 10Ah cell because peak cell voltage is 4.3V

                      I dont really see it as deceptive as they are all rated the same way. Even if they put a little @3.7v on the back it would mean nothing to almost any average user. They are just using the industry standard way of rating individual lithium cells. If they did what you are suggesting (4.3 x 10) that would be clearly deceptive.

                      I get your concern, as i said i think they should move to a Wh rating instead. The way it is made sense when powerbanks started and it would involve getting multiple brands to agree to change. Meh, im not too worried even if i would prefer the change happen.

              • @Derek Unbelievable: Derek, I've read through your good info a few times trying to understand and compare it to power banks which use mah. Would the 18v 4amp ozito be like an approx 13000mah power bank then? Or is it even more if power banks are often 3.7v rather than 5v? Thanks.

                • +1

                  @Dan83: That's correct mate. You got it. We can give an prediction by theory like that. The true performance will be affected by some other factors too. Require some testing to justify the true gap between theory and fact. That's the charm of technology, isn't it.

                  • @Derek Unbelievable: Cool thanks. I think I’ll pick one up then. I have 2x 4ah and 1x 2ah ozito batteries at the moment so will be a useful power bank, especially for camping where I’ll have the batteries anyway for things like the ozito torch. Cheers.

          • @onebee: Bought 4 and bolt them onto them Victa 82V mowers that people throw out in droves. Click in 4 Ozitos after hardwiring them 4 in series direct to contacts. Not as quick but more durable.

  • Got 1 thanks OP

  • Thanks, got 1. Also got the 2 x 4ah for $99 deal. Going from my Dewalt drill and impact driver to Ozito. Dewalt skins are a rip.

    • +5

      Get an adaptor. Don't dump the Dewalt…

      Hint, ozito PXC is a rebrand of "Einhell"

      • Will do, thanks mate.

    • the 2x4ah + fast multi-charger is also still available for 99.98

  • $10 delivery not sure if worth it

  • No stock for both delivery and click collect

  • Why is there no stock in WA?

    • +3

      Because you are 5hrs and 56mins late.

    • Its still a good deal with the $10 delivery, if you need one, I already have 4 4Ah batteries and 2 chargers/

    • +2

      Because these have been running out the door for almost 2 months now.

  • Can someone tell me about the link in the post. Is the 'nrby.in' reliable? Real time etc?

    • +1

      Never mind. Didn't realise bunnings had a publicly accessible api so that explains how these sites are built

  • Anyone else had theirs refunded due to no stock?

  • Purchased one by delivery , but just realise not fit to my old ozito drill. Where have good deal for skin only ?
