Original Coupon Deal

It's not free shipping to where I live in rural QLD, but was free shipping to my work address in Brisbane City.

Accidentally discovered it's OZITO PXC compatible which means all Powerblade 20v tools are. Was gambling to see if it would fit my ALDI Xfinity batteries, it doesn't. But the Xfinity to Ozito adapter I 3d printed fits perfectly (was going to buy the Ozito PXC 40v blower)

No speed control or turbo button, just runs at full power with a static switch which you don't have to keep holding down.

    This or Wolfbox MF100 for dusting my PC?

      That's gold Jerry, GOLD

    • +2

      This! Since you dont have to hold it down, also triples as a pc cooler!

      • Are you happy with the performance? What's battery life like on a 4ah battery?

        • +2

          i cant comment on battery life for official ozito as im using an xfinity ozito adapter.

          Performance wise, hard to compare. This runs at its full potential since its only an on/off switch.

          If compared to both the ALDI xfinity/ferrex and official ozito, i'd say this pushes a bit stronger in standard mode, but i'd attribute that to this powerblade having a slightly thinner and more focused barrel and being direct drive to battery from switch (yes i opened it up). The advertised 200km/h that both the ozito and xfinity/ferrex have are only in turbo mode and cant be used sustained which is what burned my motor out. The ferrex has a microcontroller inside for the turbo boost and i suspect the ozito also does.. the powerblade doesnt.

        • +2

          Not.exactly what you're after. As per my post, i Used an ALDI xfinity 4ah battery to Ozito adapter:

    I have a bunch of Ozito PXC batteries so am tempted by this but I couldn't find any official mention about cross compatibility. Did you find it is a perfect fit for Ozito or does it require some finagling?

    • OP literally did a real world test with Ozito batt.

    • +3

      I've recieved my order and tested it with a new ozito battery (PXC). The battery doesn't quite clip in correctly and so is loose. However if you cut off two angled edges from the battery plastic channels that grip to the blower, it'll likely clip in correctly.

      • same here. I have to push the battery while using the blower.

  • +1

    You might want to add a price to the listing ;)

  • Wonder if there’s.a cheap line trimmer also compatable?

  • -1

    Ozito PXC batteries are 18V not 20V. Is this going to be an issue?

    • +10

      Nope, 20v is just a marketing term for 18v nominal voltage.
      They get the 20v figure from either the peak voltage directly after charge or volts required to charge 18v (20-21 volts)

    • +4

      As Danny said. Marketing.

      18v/20v power tools use 5x 18650/21700 Li-Ion cells in series where they have 3.7v nominal voltage 5x3.7= 18.5v.

      When powertool batteries are fresh off the charger they are 4.2v each and settle at around 4v fully charge and is where the 20v comes from (5x4v)

    • i tested mine and it was showing 22V. hope this helps

        • Without the .ew…

  • I have never heard of the compatibility between these brands. It be great to get it confirmed. I assume it would work the other way too. I.e. ozito tool, powerblade battery

  • Can we use Ozito batteries to charge this? I have an Ozito leaf blower. It's okay but not that powerful.

  • +6

    $35 from Amazon with free shipping. $5 extra for peace of mind I reckon…

    Edit: $33.25 from Amazon AU, also sold by Amazon AU so returns be easy.

    • +1

      thanks it is cheaper form Amazon as eBay charge me $7 shipping fee

      • Try direct from Edisons site.. they are the seller on both ebay/amazon and im pretty sure its their house brand oem'd from the same factory as ozito

        • Amazon AU returns would be better than Edison's

      • Amazon wants to charge me $7.99 for shipping to Perth.

    • Where do you see $33.25. I see $35? TY

    Will report back what it's like

    • Nice $47 Amazon

      • Thanks, need one for firewood

    • Great idea. I just did the same. Good for camping and cutting the fire wood!

    • Tempting at this price. 1/2 inch smaller than the Ozito length, and I think we can assume it is not brushless.

      Could be great for occasional use. Let us know how it goes. Dont forget these still need bar oil to be added manually (I notice the Ozito comes with a little bottle).

    • How did it go? work with ozito battery?
      thanks

      • +1

        Nope, I tried all my official Ozito batteries, it won't without some modification, you can read about it at the bottom of this thread.

        There's an angled part at the back that prevents the battery from making proper contact, a few people have already taken a dremel to it to make it work, so I wouldn't get one unless you're prepared to do that and void any warranty

        • +2

          thanks, the ozito battery worked on powerblade line trimmer, but not on the saw.
          I wondered if the saw was dead, but obviously the battery fit is the issue.
          will have a look below.
          cheers

    At this cheap it's main feature is, catch fire, and it burns the house down.

    • It's skin only, so it won't burn anything - good for a marital aid?

    • +5

      Not really. I opened it up. Its nothing but the motor wired directly to the switch and battery. Unlike the xfinity/ferrex/ozito pxc which have a microcontroller for the turbo boost function

      • is this good or bad?

        • +4

          Most powertools are like this (mainly mechanical + motors) because most of the smarts like thermal and current monitoring are in the controller in the battery.. it's why most batteries have more than 2 pins.. depends on the powertool.

          Having a turbo function in other blowers means its got a controller that can pull more voltage which means it needs to pull more current to do the voltage overdrive… but also requires you have a high current output battery

          I simply made the statement because the commenter somehow equates a cheap item to automatic fire risk

          • -1

            @dsp26: yeah like the 4th wire in your Xfinties that goes… Nowhere.

            The microcontroller cannot "pull" anything, and there is absolutely NO "more voltage" in a fixed voltage system. Where do you get your information, because it only makes sense if you're making it up as you go. Voltage overdrive, my good that's definitely in brochures everywhere next to the flux capacitor. Why does your voltage overdrive require a higher current battery if its voltage driven?

            Your batteries are the fire risk in this equation.

            Your motor blew in you last blower, because of your batteries… There's a reason tool manufacturers have their own line of batteries,,,,

            • @parad0x: Yeah they do.

              the BMS circuits in powertools are generic, most if not all have the C/T/ID pins whether the brand chooses to utilise them or not.

              A lot of powertools and cordless vacs at least use th T for thermal throttling as the BMS usually has a thermistor that touches one of the cells to measure temp.

              In fact, my Ferrex blower utilise the T pin for this such throttling…. because the turbo mode disables itself when the battery pack does get hot.. and lookie lookie.. this 3rd pin is used…
              https://limewire.com/d/uopaF#QdVKik7HaR

              as for the voltage side of things… not in the case of the ferrex tools.. but ohms law and is why dc regulators/converters exist. I use one to go the other way and reduce my battery pack voltage to 12.8v so i can use it for my camping fridge when away from the car

    • Ya wot mate ???

  • -1

    Bought the XU1 2 piece kit from bunnings few weeks ago when they had the sale.

    Can anyone confirm that the XU1 batteries works with these

    https://www.bunnings.com.au/xu1-2-piece-18v-diy-kit-xlbhik-2…

    TIA

    • +1

      Go back to bunnings and check if XU1 batteries fit their Ozito tools in the same section, If it doesnt then it won't fit this.

      Just looking at that picture i dont think it would

      • Yep you are right they don't. They also are different to Ferrex/Aldi.

  • The battery looks similar to the Worx/Toolpro ones. Does anybody know if they will fit this without needing any adaptors?

    • Take it to bunnings and see if it fits the ozito tools

    • +1

      Who hurt you or should I say what tool ????

      On another note, don't Xfinity batts use Samsung cells??
      Have you personally compared this blower to the brushless ozito ??

    • you're missing my point… i already 3d printed 2x xfinity>ozito adaptors so i can use the 40v ozito dual battery with my existing xfinity batteries.

      whilst i opened up this powerblade to try and figure out how i could make it work with xfinity or what adapter i need to design, i tested what i already had printed and lo and behold it fits.

      no sh*t everyone knows that thing needed 2 batteries… i wanted it as an upgrade since ALDI hasnt posted a blower for me to replace my broken one in over a year

      • -2

        No you're missing mine. You don't have 20v batteries if they're from ALDI. You've got a product that has so many issues with it I ca t believe they still sell

        • +5

          as explained by myself and danny above, its technically correct.. just marketing.

          3.7 nominal voltage per 18650/21700 cell.. 3.7x5 = 18.5v.

          When fully charged, each cell is at 4.2v then settles at 4vx5 = 20v.. is where they get the "20v" from.

          And yes they are 4ah… because i've shucked the 2000mAh samsung cells out of these before and manually charged and balanced each one of them for other projects.

          they are in 5S2P config so yes… they are 4ah

          • -1

            @dsp26: You're incorrect. They do not charge to 4.2, it's pulled at 4.0, which immediately means the capacity of 4Ah is also not true.
            There is much wrong with those batteries beyond calling them 20v 4Ah. Like I said, they're the reason you blew the motor on your lady blower.

            It's not marketing when an entire industry, and any other containing lithium cells in this country treats nominal voltage as gospel bevause it's the only value that can be guaranteed to be true every time you use your batterymm

          • -1

            @dsp26: There's 4Ah of nominal voltage cells in there. That is correct. The battery as a tool battery has 85-90% of that capacity. Primarily bevause of the same 4v charge cut off.

            Then add the 0.BMS or even monitoring of cell voltage and after 12mths when your cells have aged a little and you're using an unbalanced pack m… It's not even going to get close

            • +3

              @parad0x: have you ever opened a powertool or cordless vac battery before? they have a builtin balancer.. other than when cells die and when i replace them, all the cells are within 0.1v of eachother.

              and charging voltage is higher than battery peaks to always charge them.. same way AGM need 14.8v charging voltage and they settle down to 12.8v nominal, etc.

              • -1

                @dsp26: Nobody said anything about char him voltage, but if you wish to bring the issues with the charger into the conversation, it has its own f contributing issues.

                You also cannot compare a lead acid battery to lithium. Two different charging methods.

                Built in BMS? Why then is there absolutely NO per.cell wiring - the only way that BMS can possibly work?

                • +2

                  @parad0x: again.. have you opened one? they do have per cell/bank wiring

                  in the case of 4ah batteries they have 5x cells in series x2 in parellel.. each end has a connection to the controller

                  and have you ever shunted a powertool charger inline while charging? my xfinity charges at 4.6-4.8v per cell.. 23-25v for the whole charger

                  • -2

                    I expect any further rebuttal of facts to be met with equal documentation.

                      @parad0x: you twat… clearly an internet warrior posting old articles because you don't have one yourself nor have you opened one… i've repaired batteries for almost every major brand of powertool and vacuum cleaner. youve based your entire opinion piece argument in this thread on a one year old article that was 7yrs late.. and yes that article shows each cell sitting at 4v fully charged at the bottom

                      I buy xfinity 4ah batteries when they go on sale for $19.95 for this purpose.

                      those are old series 2017 stock in those pictures

                      Pro tip for you… everything is A truth, not the truth. Truths can be true for a time, just as the world believed the world was flat. The only real truth is the one you see for yourself…

              • -2

                @dsp26:

                charging voltage is higher than battery peaks to always charge them

                No. Lithium charge CVVC., lead acid VVCC

  • Confused atm. Silly question perhaps, so is something like this compatible with the blower, without any DIY printing adaptors?

    • +1

      yes

  • +2

    found a video comparing the powerblade handsaw vs ozito & ryobi . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GtUGyIyT2Rg

    • +1

      oh gosh… looks like a terrible handsaw. But wondering if the chain pitch is just bad, can always get them repitched or replacement.

      I had a no-brand-ish Baum-r petrol chainsaw, was terrible at cutting… had an arborist next door watch me and told me to get the chain repitched and sharpened and it made a world of difference, like literrally cutting thick logs like butter

  • +2

    Thanks OP. I have the Powerblade pole saw and hedge trimmer kit. Haven't tried the hedge trimmer yet but the pole saw is fantastic. Used it loads to cut down 4 to 5 meter high branches and it did it without any problem at all. Lots of torque and its cuts really well but like all battery pole saw/trimmers, its top heavy but its an advantage for the saw because once you put it on the branch, pull the trigger and gravity will help with cutting the branch without any force. I needed to source some battery for it as it only come with a 2AH one so will get one of the Ozito deals for extra battery.

    • Hmmmmmmm very Interesting. I could use something like this.
      Do the Ozito batteries fit the pole saw unmodified?

      • +1

        I haven't tried the ozito battery yet. Will get one this weekend and report back but I think it should be ok from all other reports here. I've used the original Powerblade battery for 20+ cut of 10+ cm branches and it still had 1/2 battery charge left. The original battery should be enough for pole saw work, but I'll be using the hedge trimmer a bit more so will need a backup battery.

        • Got the ozito battery and charger. it doesn't fit fully into the Powerblade pole saw battery holder. Simple 2 mins mod to trim battery rail end on the ozito battery. Now fits anb works perfectly. The Ozito charger works with the Powerblade battery as well.

  • +5

    Received hand chainsaw this morning and tested out ozito battery, it fits perfectly and works.

    But the ozito battery wont completely fit the blower battery slot, the ozito battery groves is longer than the blower's but it still works as the terminals are still in contact

    • You mentioned blower, how well does the Powerblade blower perform? Thanks

      • It is actually pretty reasonable.

      • +1

        It is quite good for the price, just the battery doesnt fully fit to the tool battery housing

    • Have you tried modifying the blower housing to accept the battery yet?
      Anyone else?

  • +1

    Received mini chainsaw this morning and tested with my ozito batteries - mixed results:

    • 2.5aAh battery works perfect
    • 4.0Ah battery, very intermittent. Seems to work only on first trigger after battery attached, then won't work again until I disconnect & reconnect the battery. I tested with 4 differen 4.0Ah batteries and all have the same intermittent result. These are the previous generation 4.0Ah batteries
  • +2

    Received today, my ozito 4ah battery doesn't fit, I need to use another hand to press the battery down in order to start it.

  • +1

    Yeah…got today…..battery doesnt clip in.

  • +1

    Damn, I wonder if you could modify the mount with a dremel or soldering iron to make it sit all the way in.

    • I was thinking exactly the same.
      Anyone tried this?

    • +4

      the ozito battery fits into it however terminals struggle to maintain contact, you need something like a big rubber band to keep the battery and unit together
