Looking for my first Ozito battery and came across this deal for a simple 2.5Ah (18V) battery AND charger for only $20.

There is also another version for $69 (https://www.bunnings.com.au/ozito-pxc-18v-2-5ah-battery-and-…) but it seems that the only difference between the two is that the $69 one has a red label and so most likely goes faster…… Whether that is worth the $49 price difference over the $20 black labelled version is up to you of course.

There seems to be plenty of stock at lots of different stores - there were 10+ at Lidcombe, NSW - although whilst they are on the shelf with other Ozito batteries, they do not have a pricing sticker anywhere in sight, so maybe that's why people aren't buying them? I haven't checked other stores yet to see how they are promoted (or not).

    I bought this sometime ago - two of them. Both went back because the battery was buzzing when being charged. YMMV

    If you need a battery worth taking a gamble as Bunnings has a good returns policy, just don't expect anything great with the battery

      Is that not normal? I have 3 batteries and all of them buzz when being charged. I think the sound comes from the charger?

      Thanks. Seems to be the same item, but the discussion there is mostly about how out of stock it is.
      Maybe it was a month ago, but definitely plenty around these days.
      Unless the mods disagree, I would probably keep this post up otherwise people might find the other one and think there is no bargain to be had?

  • TheDukeOfNukem on 13/03/2026 - 10:09

    Good deal! Tempted to grab for another charger, but don't majorly want another 2.5 batt. Got one and a few 4ers and I'd stick with 4 and up tbh.

        Because it's a $20 charger - which is cheap unto itself.
        Multiple chargers are useful if you are using multiple batteries in a short period.

    • Wiired on 13/03/2026 - 18:39

      If you get another small tool you'll likely prefer another 2.5ah in it. The sales should be in May again when Ozito is pricematched to Ferrex.

    Looking for my first Ozito battery

    It always starts with one.

    My name is Bargaino, and I an an Ozitoholic.

    • clintdb on 13/03/2026 - 10:23

      I have been (and still am) in the Ryobi universe.
      But I recently acquired a concrete vibrator (actually, yes - for vibrating concrete) which had the option of either a Dewalt or an Ozito battery. I chose the Ozito as it looked like the cheapest option for batteries.
      I will try very hard not to purchase more Ozito stuff now!

      Is that a coincidence between ozito and ozbargain? Wondering who came first.

      • bargaino on 13/03/2026 - 16:48

        The Ozito name has been around since 1993. But it became a favourite after the purchase by einhel Germany in 2013.

    Can these be shucked for a source of Li-ion 18650 cells? I imagine it's 5 cells at $4 each, if that is the case.

    Edit: they are NOT 18650 cells but are actually 20650… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViDun2Nez3o

    • tonyjzx on 13/03/2026 - 10:39

      is 20650 even better?

      like obviously the size is different (20mm round?) so you 18650 devices wont fit

      also this deal is… CRAZY

      i bought a few prior to covid at $20

      end of covid also $20

      and then 18 months ago another set and they still sell it at the same price???

    • skillet on 15/03/2026 - 10:24

      I'm surprised! 18650 is so common the prices should be very low instead they went for a rare 20650 but still able to keep rrp down.

  • bcYield on 13/03/2026 - 11:06

      More so selling cheap batteries and chargers sell more tools. Which in turn sell more batteries and chargers (as you expand).

      At some point if after the 3 year warranty you get a dead battery it's a nice way for people to stay in the ecosystem inexpensively. The 2.5 and 4 batteries and are essentially $10 and $33 each when brought in packs.

  • h0mbre on 13/03/2026 - 12:38

    This is a good deal because it comes with the fast charger.
    The Ozito standard charger is absolute ass, 160 mins for a 4ah

    I'm a builder so I have my tool batts around but have bought some Ozito batts on special for the Dyson vacuum.

    I feel like Ozito batts are like 5-10 years the behind major tool companies.

    However, you can't argue with these deals and ease of dealing with Bunnings for purchase and warranty.

    I have a few niche use Ozito power tools for home (edger, backpack sprayer, pole secateurs) and I generally use an AEX converters but I think I'll start accumulating some Ozito batteries and use them where I don't want my tool batts getting smashed (Dyson, kids electric drift cars).

    • Horacio on 13/03/2026 - 13:27

      In what way are the ozito batteries lacking? Aren't they all using pretty much standard cells?

    • Wiired on 13/03/2026 - 14:38

      The Ozito battery cells are cheaper than most of the higher end brands but still reliable and the packs have a fairly high build quality.

      At between 5-8 dollars per amp (while on sale) it's almost 6 times as cheaper than say standard Milwalkee batteries (as an example).

      I doubt like for like there is much difference in the standard batteries. The higher power ones sure but you pay an additional premium on what is already an expensive battery.

      • h0mbre on 13/03/2026 - 15:01
        +1

        There is no argument on the cost angle, they are a bargain and awesome bang for buck, especially for what most people on here would be using them for.

        They are lacking because there is FAR more to a battery than just the cells.

        1) Build quality, the housing for the Ozito standard batteries is rubbish. I've pulled apart some of my Bosch and Metabo batteries and the internals are night and day. I don't think they have any IP rating at all and would not stand any sort of abuse on a construction site.

        2) BMS - I've pulled apart some of my LiHD and ProCore batteries to repair or shuck and they're pretty hectic inside. Very well made and the BMS systems are somewhat advanced - what this means in layman is better thermal management, longer periods under heavy load, shit that probably doesn't matter to most non-trade users.

        3) Cell quality and sizes - I'm looking at a LiHD 10a and a standard Ozito 4ah and the Ozito is BIGGER lol. Obviously the weight is different but it will be cool when we can get the Ozito Slimline 4ah at that 3 for $99 price point

        Now these are things that don't really matter for general home use, but the standard Ozito batteries cannot handle the same type of abuse we give to our batteries at work everyday.

        They are built to a cost and for a purpose and that's fine.

        I'll happily buy them for many of my use cases but I am still hesitant to use them in my kids electric carts and they wouldn't come near any of my sites.

        Like you said, the cost for tool batteries is absolutely exorbitant and I have relied heavily on promotions and deals to build up our companies stash.

        A few months ago, junkies broke in to a site we had left our tools at overnight and out of everything on site (we had some really expensive but heavy equipment) they only took all our Bosch Procore batteries and a 6 bay charger, I almost cried.

        I'm 98% sure I saw them for sale at Megacash St Marys a few days later….

        • Wiired on 13/03/2026 - 18:18

          No the batteries aren't designed for trade (ab)use or getting wet. Pcb looks modern and well designed to me, the goop isn't great if you want to repair one but I've had none fail.

          I do have better tools than these but I've picked up several Ozito tools 60-80% off on sale and clearance and they do the job, but I am selective.

          I'm not going to rush into their mower without the expectation it needs upgrading or repairs, use a battery powered line trimmer and likely not use their circular saw or mitre saw. I think one of their drill presses looked a hard pass as well.

        • skillet on 15/03/2026 - 10:46

          1) Build quality, the housing for the Ozito standard batteries is rubbish. I've pulled apart some of my Bosch and Metabo batteries and the internals are night and day.

          Are you sure you taken apart a standard 18V Bosch battery before?! They don't even have balancing or protection BMS!! All they got is a $3 PCB that shows the 3 LED battery level and temperature sensor. The tool does the low voltage cutoff! Batteries probably went through expensive selection and paring process before assembly.

          • h0mbre on 17/04/2026 - 09:40

            @skillet: Hey I never saw this reply, responding for people's future reference.

            Sorry if I wasn't clear, I was specifically comparing to ProCore and LiHD packs. I actually don't think I own any non ProCore Bosch batteries anymore and agreed, the older batts are garbage.

            Like I mentioned above, my use cases are far beyond most on here but ProCore and LiHD batteries are amazing.

            They have huge continuous draw ratings and we have alot of power tools these days that require that. My cordless Boschhammers are now pretty much comparable to corded equivalents.

            I also use these batteries, mainly the LiHDs, in my kids electric vehicles which all run at 36v. I'm reluctant to use an Ozito battery for this use case and I definitely would not use an older Bosch batt lol.

    • ShouldIBuyIt on 13/03/2026 - 15:43

      I bought multiple kits over the years, and none came with the standard charger. Feels the only way to buy it is you absolutely need a charger but you're also too cheap to fork the money lol

        Man, you made me check both my kit chargers because when I checked the current listings for the kits I've bought, you are right, they should all be the fast charger.

        Get this, I got a fast charger with the secateurs kit but I got scummed with a standard with my edger + 4ah kit!

        Packaged wrong? Who knows.

        I was so angry at Ozito and Bunnings for packaging a trickle charger like that in 2025 but seems like don't do that (intentionally).

        I wish I picked up on it at the time, it only really clicked when I read your reply.

        My other 2 "Fast Chargers" look different to each other but are the same specs.

        • ShouldIBuyIt on 13/03/2026 - 20:33

    Gets mentioned often on Ozito batttery deals, but getting a few of these and an adapter for my old Dyson stick vac was one of the better decisions ive ever made. Cost me much less than an official replacement Dyson battery and works better too (i.e. swapping out batteries when its flat). I only have 2 x 2.5 Ah batteries but found thats enough for the way i use my vac

    Picked up a bunch of Ozito batts recently, the 3x 4Ah packs along with these for the charger.

    Working great with some Ryobi garden tools I picked up during council cleanups.

    Using 2x18v with 36V tools and single in 18v tools.

    Are these compatible with all Ozito tools?

    • Wiired on 15/03/2026 - 13:46

      Says "Compatible with Ozito PXC Range" which is basically their whole current range of 18V tools. It is not compatible with their 12V tools.

      This is functionally the same as the standard battery and charger they include with many kits (tool/skin, battery and charger).

      If you own a larger power tool or garden tool the 4ah batteries will be more suitable than a 2.5ah.
