It was out of stock almost everywhere. I was trying to buy this a few days ago and it wasn't avaialble anywhere near me, now it is.
Same with my local. I bought one a few weeks ago and there were about 50 on the shelf but now there are none.
same here i’m try to order but it’s cancelled until this morning it’s back to in stock
I ordered, but Bunnings cancelled the order,saying that hazardous items cannot be shipped.
weird, they send the 4 batt pack to me last week
Weird, I ordered the same item online in the past. Have you ordered too many of them? There might be a total watt-hours restriction.
I may have way too many ozito tools so:
The 2.5ah is pretty usable in the brushless drills / impact drivers , if I'm going through steel or a thick timber they struggle though. Mixing 10L of paint with a 2.4ah and an auger was impossible for example.
Similarly the circular saw struggled the other day with a 2.4 and swapped over to a 4ah cutting a 26mm FJ piece of hardwood.
They work in the big cannon blower as-well, but you don't get much runtime. Good to quickly blow out my garage, but if I'm doing the yard and getting rid of leaves I need 2x 4ah or I run out reasonably quickly. Goes just as hard subjectively though.
For the multiool, sanders (detail / orbital / square vibratey thing), air pump,vacuum etc they're fine they just don't last as long.
TLDR: A mix of 2.4-4 and above is nice. Out of curiosity is anyone running the ~5-8ah batteries in anything and can comment on how they perform relative to the others I'd be curious too.
Since expanding my range of 4s my 2.5s never get a look. The weight difference is so marginal that I see absolutely no point using them. My sander is the one exception, because they're all that fit.
Which sander only fits the little ones?
I haven't found that honestly, I have a HEAP of 4ah but i often just leave the 2.4s in the vacuum or whatever else doesn't need the juice.
That said I have a lot, maybe 12 total lol.This guy. (I'm not entirely sure it's this exact model, I think I read later ones will fit bigger batteries. But mine has only enough room for the 2.5
@Hinee: ah, yeah I have one of those but I bought it in the last few months. fits the 4ah from memory.
They 4.0AH don't fit the old previous model detail sander. The 4.0AH fit the newer one, meaning the current model.
But Ah is a measure of capacity. 2.5 vs 4 should only affect run time, not power. Do they output a different voltage or is my understanding flawed?
I don't own any of these, was only in here to see if they are worth extracting the 18650 cells like the old deals we used to get on the Aldi batteries with Samsung cells inside.
Power is more than voltage. That stays the same.
Think of the 4ah more like 2 x 2ah batteries in parallel because thats basically what it is. A 2ah 18v has 5 cells, the 4ah has 2 banks of 5 cells.
The impact of that is that it can supply much more current to tools that can use it.
If you tool doesn't need much power then yes, runtime is effectively the only difference. If the tool can use more power than the 2ah can supply then doubling the number of cells will give the tool more power. IIRC the 4ah is rated to 900w and the 2ah is rated to 450w.
To complicate matters further the 2.5 is rated somewhere inbetween. It's using chunkier cells that can supply more current per cell than the cells in the 2ah and 4ah.
@Duff5000 thank you for sharing the knowledge. Appreciate it. 👍
These don't contain 18650s, they use 2600mAh 20650 cells. I presume to stop people extracting 18650 cells from them.
Bugger. But thanks for saving me the effort.
Are you sure they are not 18650s? Have you opened them and checked?
wait so is the 4ah enough to use and mix paint
Yes, I can mix plaster but it cuts out every now and then with a 2.4ah.
The 4ah it mixes a lot better and doesn't cut out.
Paint anything works.
Standard pricing?
Based on the negs… many can't.
Thanks, even though its been this price for yonks, it also been out of stock in most of oz and NOT avail for delivery. Just ordered 2.
Thank you
bought last year, did not test for 2 months, and now it is dead, can't find the invoice
The battery and charger itself will have a date stamp on it and should be well within the 3-year warranty period.
Try and get a replacement based on that alone.
If you have a credit card statement showing the transaction that will also help.
Will try thanks

104there's literally thousands of these in various stores in syd alone
further thousands in regional nsw
Spoke to 2 different Bunnings Managers. They are planning on doing a big Re-Stock soon for Father's Day. Some stores will put some out on the shelves, other stores won't until then.
Just got one. It is the third one that I have now, I like the 2.5Ah one, they are not huge, they are light, don't make your equipment heavy and quick to recharge.
It's been this price for months
