Pretty sure this is the lowest price in years, if not ever, other than the trade-in deal September last year.
Plenty around with only a few stores nil stock. https://bunnings.youinstock.com.au/search/0590314
Also they have dropped the price on a single battery from $119 to $99. These have been this low in the past however.

Cheers, fixed, must have clipped it when I copy/pasted.
This'll make the brushless recip saw I bought on special and used once way more powerful right?
Likely not. But it'll last longer when you do use it!
The 5.2Ah batteries deliver higher current (not only higher capacity) so there will be a noticeable increase in power particularly with the brushless motors
The 5.2Ah batteries can deliver higher current
Emphasis above. It depends on the equipment, but the motor may already be reaching its max current rating with their existing battery
@DiscountForThee: And in some instances, more current may not be a good thing so choose your application wisely
@spy: Lol in what instance? The equipment isnt going to magically try and pull more current than required.
It's a good price — big jump up in price from the 4Ah batteries on sale though … are these needed for particular tools? Assuming higher sustained power output is what makes these worth the jump?
I want know as well
yep, 3x 4ah seems better value for $99
What's the difference in these batteries? I got the 4ah x 18v x 3 pieces for $100.
3x4 are better value and are lighter in say the hedge trimmer especially if it takes 2 batteries.
Goid to use on Dyson with an adaptor?
A bit heavy, but GOOD if you need stamina lol.
@Wiser where are you getting adapters do Ozito batteries from??
I use a 4ah on our Dyson- lasts the whole house now. Sooo much better than the original battery. However, it is much heavier.
The biggest issue with dyson older model is non swappable battery
Ours is a DC34 Animal, pretty old? Discontinued in 2013. Few screws to get the battery out.
These use higher output cells than the smaller batteries and can give you a boost in power on brushless high draw tools that can make use of the extra current available.
The 2.0 and 4.0 standard packs use 18650 cells.
The 2.5 and 5.2 packs use 20650 cells.
The 6.0 & 8.0 and the sealed 3.0 & 4.0 use 21700 cells.
Specs for power output in watts on the batteries from Einhells website.
2.0AH 450 watts.
2.5AH 720 watts
4.0AH 900 watts
5.2AH 1260 watts
6.0AH 1350 watts
8.0AH 1350 watts
The new sealed batteries.
3.0AH 900 watts
4.0AH 900 watts.
this is what I came here for.
Thanks for this. Ai use?
No Ai. Just me. Not sure why you got negged, it's a fair question these days.
Great human answer then :)
An AI answer would've been a dozen paragraphs long lol
Don't forget AI would not exhist if it was not for the smart humans who have all build it up.
AI/Computers are Only as smart as the people engineering/programming/using them.
Thanks for extra info. I do have a 2.5AH (720 watts) already (supposedly with the 20650 cells), and as obviously this has
less than half the capacity of these 5.2AH (1260 watts), do you think the 5.2AH will give some tools (possibly the
brushless by the sounds of it) more power to run (as well as length of runtime as well of course) ?
More Watts does not always = more power with some/many power tools and/or appliances as you would know.
I would be leaning more towards the 2.5AH will do the job in place of a 4.0AH but with a possible small reduction in power and obviously a shorter run time.
I like the 2.5AH for use in lower draw tools where weight comes into it. Things like the pruning secateurs, glue gun, ratchet etc.
Edit, I misread your question. The 5.2AH can definitely give you more power in high draw and also in high draw brushless tools, as the 5.2AH's are capable of outputting higher current. And you will get around twice the run time over the 2.5AH.
Agree with first half of your answer, and glad to hear the 5.2Ah will be able to give more power to various tools over the 4Ah as well as the 2.5Ah. I personally have not felt more power out of the 2.5Ah than my 2Ah and 4Ah batteries, so looking forwards to the extra boost from these 5.2Ah batteries which I will try soon.
Do you know how many 18650s are in the 4.0AH? Is it 10x 2000mah?
Hurry up and discount the 8ah
Yep, also waiting:)
Just curious why the need for the 8ah?
I would like a couple for the lawnmower mainly.
Yeap gardening equipment
Drop saw as well
longer harder faster stronger
Think Bunnings will bring back the 18V trade-in deal? Found an old XU1 battery in the garage lol
yeah this was the best price for these I found last year. traded in an ancient makita 1.5ah battery and bought these for $150 for the pair. that deal never came back though.
That trade-in deal on the Ozito batteries seems to be a one off. They have done it since on other brands though.
In the T&Cs the other one ended with the FY as well.
Finally!
What do these normally sell for?
$199 for the 2 pack
The 6.0AH makes a massive improvement to lawn movers / vacuum cleaners for me.
My mower always struggled with 4.0ah batteries when cutting lower, now it powers through.
Yeah, have the wet/dry vac & it eats 4ah batteries, like 4 min max & swtichen one out!
How do I buy these & get them delivered if my local Bunnings says no stock, I tried switching to the next closest bunning a further 60's away & the site said, "No soup for you!!" FFS!
My local store never has stock of this twin pack or the 3 pack 4ah as it's a rural shop & Australia's smallest, when I was doing a special order the other day I mentioned this but didn't think to push for a special order of them.
3&1/2 weeks before I make the 100k trip to my local Bunnings!
Yeah, that's a problem Bunnings need to sort on the tool side of things. Just about every other tool shop (including TKD which is part of the Bunnings group) will deliver almost anywhere in Aus, free with a $99 spend.
I will be moving regionally later in the year, so I will be making sure I have everything Ryobi/Ozito I want before I leave, because I will have to buy everything else from Total Tools etc..
This is what worked for me: I called a Bunnings store 2hrs drive from me to order a discontinued powertool over the phone. Had to pay extra $10 for delivery though. They then emailed me an invoice, which I paid at my local Bunnings.
That'd be great … $10 delivery is a bargain!
No way I pay 2.5 times for 1.2Ah extra, compared to the $33 4Ah battery, unless I need extra power for specific jobs.
That's what I was thinking when I looked at the "deal" and the number of upvotes. If I remember correctly you regularly get 3x 4ah for $99. I would like to see the use case where 1.2ah make a difference and you couldnt simply swap from one 4ah battery to another 4ah battery.
Any benefit using this on an SDS hammer drill over the regular battery?
If it's not immediately obvious, it's over double the cost vs capacity of the 4aH battery 3 pack on sale.
I've used the $49 brushless reciprocating saw fairly aggressively with the 4aH battery, does the trick. The $25 brushless hammer drill, 4aH may even seem an overkill for many tasks. Ymmv.
Does this battery make the high performance drill from Ozito (the 120Nm hammer drill) run faster/more torque?
A lot of tools from TTI like the AEG Fusion drill and impact driver, and the Milwaukee Gen 4 drill and impact driver run faster and torquier with their high output/Force HD and tabless/stacked cell batteries.
As a anecdotal observation, yes. The more power availability a battery pack provides the less a tool (especially brushless) is likely to "torque out".
However several factors come into play. Diminishing returns, meaning depending on your usage you might not notice any difference in performance especially going beyond 4aH.
It's entirely tool and model revision dependant something of which can be a benefit or disadvantage with Ozito as they may release several iterations of the same or similar tool with tweaks. This makes comparable testing complicated.
Brushless tools have an upper limit which is usually determined by either the onboard controller or the battery controller. Without a suite of testing on each tool with multiple batteries and graphing it, best guess is good enough on the day.
The price difference on sale between 4aH and 5.2aH is considerable, especially given the marginal capacity gain.
Some aren't aware of "how to let the tool work for you" and that tool bit brand and condition can have a significant impact on its performance or perceived lack of performance.
Weight with larger capacity batteries can be a bit off putting.
So in summary you're gaining roughly 0-25% more power at the top end and around 25% battery capacity going from 4-5.2aH.
You're best viewing it in simple terms of yes (gains) but at considerable cost compared to the price of the tools and 4aH batteries on sale.
In my opinion.
I started a reply this morning but had a friend turn up and ended up heading out. But Wired did a better job than I could have anyway:)
All I would add, is it worth the extra expense chasing a few extra NM? My most used drill is a Makita CXT 12V which has just 35NM, and it does about 95% of what I need. Although your uses might be a bit heavier duty.
His point about using quality bits is also important. FWIW, personally, my preference is for Milwaukee bits and drill bits. They are good quality and last well.
