    So I could bring 1 old (working) 2ah Ozito 18v battery and get the 5.2ah Twin pack for $129? I don't see the Ozito mentioned in the T&C's is all

    • Matt89 on 28/05/2026 - 15:42

      Particularly interesting if this is allowed given the RRP of the Ozito 2Ah battery is $40

      • xmail on 28/05/2026 - 16:07

        Comes down to how overpriced the 5.2ah twin pack is.
        Buying the 2Ah at $40 then surrendering it to get $50 off only saves you $10 - you'd be better off waiting for a special on the 5.2Ah to save more than that.

        Ozito 2.5Ah with the battery is $25:

      Yes. I did the twice when the offer was going last time. I took in a broken one where it wouldn't clip into tools properly and did that as a trade in.

      I then went again and took in a small battery and got the larger twin pack.

      I've seen reports of people bringing in non-working batteries on previous offers like these at Bunnings.
      It seems that as long as a battery is produced, there is very little consideration given to it's quality or operational status.

      Naturally YMMV as I have not done this myself and have only seen comments from others.

        They don't actually want the old batteries. It's a sales promo, nothing more. Look at the prices they are charging to start with, still lots of profit margin in it for them.

        The T&Cs suggest that they don't care, as long as it's 18v.

        That means you can use 18v for 36v purchase.

      • jason andrade on 28/05/2026 - 19:18

        It’s a marketing exercise to drive sales.

        No one actually cares about the nature of the battery as the marketing budget allows for:

        • $50 discount on item
        • cost of disposal of a bunch of batteries

        It’s a sophisticated and legal form of channel stuffing.. 🤷🏾

        If the batteries regularly go on sale for $50 off or more they don't have much to lose.

    • bcYield on 28/05/2026 - 16:03

      $65 per battery is possible considering the 4.0Ah one is 1/2 of this price.

          As others have noted, if you’re in the Ozito ecosystem, the deal only really stacks up if you’re looking for the extra torque that comes with the 5.2Ah batteries, and have a dead 18v’er lying around.

          Which I suspect covers a few fortunate people - myself included…

          • jeffa on 01/06/2026 - 12:01

            @UncleRico: The deal doesn't include Ozito batteries

              @jeffa: Yep. Contrary to previous years and what the OP saw in store and posted about, it appears that this is the case, unlike previous years. Oh well, money saved…

    lol, look at the price of the ozito twin pack - $179. you can get 3x 4Ah batteries for under $100

    • geekcohen on 28/05/2026 - 15:44

      But the larger twin pack is 5.2Ah batteries.

      • c64 on 28/05/2026 - 15:46
        -3

        so you would rather pay $129 for 10.4Ah or $99 for 12Ah?

        • geekcohen on 28/05/2026 - 15:50
          +3

          Depending on what you using the batteries for, yeah. 36V tools run great with the 10.4Ah total when you might only be able to do 8Ah with the other batteries.

          It really depends on what the use case is and what tools you are using.

            +5

            @geekcohen: The larger capacity ones generally can output higher amps too, though not sure of the diff between the 4Ah and 5.2Ah

            AI overview suggests the following, but you know how much to trust AI overviews…

            "The 18V 4.0Ah Ozito battery provides up to 900 watts of max output power, which equates to a maximum continuous current draw of roughly 50 amps under heavy load.

            The 18V 5.2Ah (Ultra Performance) battery utilizes higher-grade 21700 cells, delivering up to 1260 watts of max output power and a continuous discharge current of 70 amps, making it ideal for high-drain tools like circular saws or angle grinders."

              +1

              @bamzero: if the tools work with normal 4Ah batteries there is not much point in batteries with higher discharge current. i would prefer to have more batteries that i can use in multiple tools and be recharging if necessary

                if the tools work with normal 4Ah batteries there is not much point in batteries with higher discharge current.

              • nevilleescort on 29/05/2026 - 11:06

                @redpen: Yep my Ryobi leaf blowers really eat up battery power. Generally need 3 high amp batteries to deal with our bricked area. Though personally I normally buy 3rd party versions given the outrageous prices Ryobi charge. IF I get slightly less usage I'm still way ahead financially.

            • SanguinarySeraph on 28/05/2026 - 20:18
              +1

              @bamzero: I did the trade last time and picked up 2 x 5.2ah and can confirm that on high power tools it absolutely makes a difference compared to the 4ah.

              36v steel deck mower now goes through even super thick/long grass without bogging down.

              36v whipper snipper noticeably more performance

              18v edger makes a huge difference

              18v brushless recip saw definitely better too.

              Really depends on the tool and use case. If you want more performance, the 5.2 are great, if you want more runtime, get extra 4ah and chargers.

            +1

            @geekcohen: The difference is just about the duration of usage per charge. Tho the higher ampere one might suppose a higher surge like usb quick charge. For powerful or power hungry tools, higher ampere should be better.

    • faricity on 28/05/2026 - 16:09
      +2

      YouTube testing shows there is a tiny bit of performance (torque) gained by having a bigger battery on certain tools that need it. eg impact drivers or circular saws where it can bog down, it might cut a few seconds faster or not bog as much.

      But yes you do have a point if you are considering $ per ah or whatever.

      • jeffa on 29/05/2026 - 11:11

        That would really depend on what current rating battery the tool was designed for and any type of self-regulation it used. Was the test on brushed or brushless tools for example.

        • faricity on 30/05/2026 - 00:08
          +1

          yes true but as you know there are already HP versions that benefit from it. Mostly impact wrenches or cutting tools is the obvious stuff.

      I know it's not great to live in hindsight but end of last month Bunnings, they had a battery trade in for $500 off a kit. (that was top tier one….they had $100 off and $250 off smaller kits too).

      Traded in an old 18V Makita NiCad battery to get the $3K AEG 15 piece kit (plus the powerpass discount) I got $650 off. Then add in the redemption bonus. It worked for me…..anywho, that's my TED TALK. I've got two ryobi Li batteries for the next kit deal.

    I was pretty excited to get rid of 4 of my old failed 18V battery for $50 each but below condition killed it

    as long as the customer has a battery to trade in for each unit they wish to purchase. We
    can do multiple trade ins within the same transaction. Keep in mind, it is a MAX discount
    of $50 per new product to be purchased. i.e. 2x battery trade in = $50 each off 2 new
    products ($100 in total), not $100 off one new product.

    Does the battery you trade-in have to be the same brand as the one you buy?
    I sometimes find various brand batteries on the road, usually hit a few times by vehicles. (And yes, the batteries are usually ok, even after a direct hit).
    So could I trade one (or two ) of them for the brand I use?

    • UncleRico on 29/05/2026 - 12:56

      Based on previous years, no. Any brand, any condition 18v battery can be traded in for a discount against a nominated selection of replacement battery packs.

      The million dollar question is whether or not the batteries eligible to redeem the $50 discount against , are going to include cheaper brands, such as Ryobi and Ozito. Website doesn’t show them as available to participate, but instore signage sighted by OP and previous years suggests they will be included once deal goes live.

    I finally managed to turn my photo into a jpg since so many ppl are questioning this deal as it's not on the website. I can't seem to be able to upload this here.

    Can anyone help?

      Can always upload to imgur or some other hosting site and then just post a link.

    no ozito I guess ?

      Meh. No Ozito or Ryobi, means this promo now eliminates 80% of their market. The home handyman is unlikely to find much value in $50 off an overpriced bundle of two or three AEG, MAkita or DeWalt batteries.
