Ozito cordless battery compatibility

[Ricochet]

Hi.   I have just bought an Ozito 12v cordless drill.  Could I use the battery from that in an Ozito 18v Circular saw or other Ozito power tool.

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @electrictools. It's terrific to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about battery adaptors.

I'm not aware of any adaptors supplied by our manufacturers that are used to adapt batteries to different companies' machines. If they are available, they would be from a third-party supplier, and our tool companies do not recommend their use. Please remember that the use of such adaptors can void your warranty if they cause damage to the machine.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Ozito PXC Multi Battery Charger - Fault?

My Ozito PXC Multi Battery Charger seems to be faulty, unless there is any other trouble shooting I can do that I haven't already.

Last week, the right hand battery flashed green for about 8 hours and this morning, the right hand side battery is on solid red and has been for a few hours. Regardless of which battery I put in there. I have multiple batteries. My single chargers are both working. It's not even 6 months old so should I just take it back?

Am I doing something wrong or does the multi tool not stand up with a battery in it? I've tried 4A and 2A.  I get with blades, safety is of utmost importance, but neither seems to be less safe than the other.

Hi @victoriacalhoun,

Exchange - at the counter briefly explain the problem and you would like to exchange for another one.

You do have the docket - yes?

If not come back and we might be able to do a repair.

Cheers

Hello @victoriacalhoun 

Since you've done the trouble shooting steps with other batteries, you've covered pretty much covered what needs to be done. If you still have your docket, I suggest bringing the charging unit back to the store where you purchased it from and exchanging it for a new one. 

If you need assistance with the return and exchange, please let us know.

Hi @victoriacalhoun 

Sounds like you have isolated that the batteries charge in the single chargers but not in the twin. So, that's what needs to bet replaced as @EricL mentioned provided you have the receipt.

As for the multitool not standing up with any battery in it, to the best of my knowledge I am unaware that any brand does regardless of battery type. There simple is no requirement to. Why do you want it to stand up other than storage as it can't be used in that position?

Hi, I just joined Bunnings workshop.
I've lost the 18V battery and charger for Ozito Hedge Trimmer - Model Number OHT-0185.
Do you sell the battery and charger or can you recommend something that works with this?

Hello @skris232 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us.

The good news is that the latest generation PXC batteries are compatible with your OHT-0185 unit. The basic battery and charger kit such as the Ozito PXC 18V 2.5Ah Battery and Charger PXBC-25B - Kit will work with your hedge trimmer. But if you're after a longer run or one where you can swap batteries on the go, I suggest looking at the Ozito PXC 18V 2 x 4.0Ah Batteries And Multi Charger Pack. I suggest visiting your local store and see which one suits your needs.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

Hi @okcoral1,

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is fabulous to have you with us.

While we don't stock anything that fits the description, I can certainly get in touch with Ozito and our Spare Parts team to see if it is something we could order for you.

Could you let me know the model number of the drill you own? Is there a detachable battery or is it a single unit? If there is a separate battery, can I get the model number of the battery also? 

Once I have the these details, I can assist further.
