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 @Ricochet. It's fantastic to have you join us and many thanks for your question.
Generally, 18-volt and 12-volt tools do not have exchangeable batteries. The Ozito Home 12v Drill Driver Kit's battery is compatible with the rest of their 12-volt cordless range. However, the 18-volt range will not accept the 12-volt battery.
Please let me know if you need further information or had any questions.
Mitchell
I have a question on compatibility, as an example I have a box here for a 10MM COMPACT DRILL DRIVER KIT, it says 5 year warranty, PXCDK-150 (I know it is the cheapie of the lot, but I have the box handy), now it is a POWER XCHANGE range product but is 12v, where can I get batteries for it as it would be 1 or possibly 2 years old at most (we have many other 12v power XCHANGE range including a $399 lawn mower, the 4 battery one, so we would not want to replace that after around a year with a single use).
I asked a guy in the toolshop when I was in Bunnings on the weekend and he was not certain of if the 12v home batteries would suit (not that they had any either).
So we do we need to go out and buy all new brushless hammer drill, brushless impact driver, circular saw, etc if we want to get batteries?
Or are the 18v batteries are smart enough to know the difference with the pins or the 12v home range would suit (actually not "smart" as such, just more 2 pin circuits, 1pin for -ve, 1pin for +12v and another for +18v)?
Kindly advise what we should do.
Regards
Brian
Hi @BrianTheBuilder,
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. We are looking forward to seeing what projects you tackle with your tools.
I will ask @MitchellMc to give you a hand with your Ozito products when he is back on the site on Friday. Apologies for the delay, he is having a few well-earned days off. If you're in a hurry, you could contact Ozito directly.
All the best,
Jason
I think Mitch has answered the 12v and 18v question before and they are not compatible.
PXCDK-150 Ozito has listed as 18v on the web-page.

Thanks for your input Brad.
@BrianTheBuilder - you might find this previous discussion helpful: Ozito cordless battery compatibility
@Jason, yeh I saw that one originally, but setup a new thread as it seemed to talk about the home range being used the 18v range from what I can see, I am more about the XCHANGE 12V range batteries especially for the mower which has only been used once and I will likely need to buy some more batteries when I travel to the block again as I cant see myself carrying 4 lithium batteries on a plane, then leave them down in the shed with a charger and timer or something to keep them healthy and not drop in voltage too much.
You know what, I checked the box getting ready to take a pic, then checked the instructions in it... I really should sleep first before posting.... 😳 After all that it is 18v, I got confused and feel really silly now.... So I thought I better own up to not thinking straight instead of editing the post....
Sorry guys, for some reason I was thinking that the XCHANGE range was 12v initially, no idea where I got the idea, maybe because of the lack of stock of batteries did not help (yeh no batteries at all in stock where I went)... or just too many battery operated tools around me (can't see the forest for the trees).
** Anyway, long story short, my mistake it is an 18v (as is the 3ah battery I use with it which came from another Ozito kit). Time to organise some batteries.... and sulk...And Kudos to @Brad for looking up the model and making me check the box again...
All good @BrianTheBuilder. Don't hesitate to post whenever you need a hand with anything. We're here to help.
@Jason I also thought it would be best to leave the post "as is" in case someone else comes along and stumbles on it... saves them feeling not so bright for a moment... and yeh all good, just lesson learned, double check everything, like the "measure twice cut once" saying.
Hi there,
I have an old Ozito hammer drill from 2013, since then the range has changed. I am thinking of buying the new Ozito impact driver. Will the old battery work or do I need a new kit.
Please help.
Thanks
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @MavrickIsBack. It's great to have you join us and many thanks for your question.
Could you provide a few more details on the battery and perhaps some images?
Is it a 12volt or 18volt battery pack? What type of terminals are on the battery? Is it a Ni-Cd or Lithium battery?
We look forward to hearing more details about your current battery unit and being able to provide an answer to your question.
Hi Mitchell,
Sorry it has taken me sometime but please find the photos attached of the hammer drill i have and please let me know if the battery can be used in the new drills.
Thanks for the detail @MavrickIsBack.
@MitchellMc will be back on the site to assist you on Friday. Apologies for the delay in the meantime.
Hi @MavrickIsBack,
I apologise for the delay in my reply. I've contacted Ozito and unfortunately, that battery is not compatible with the current range of power exchange units. What features were you looking for in the new drill? I'd be happy to make some suggestions about the available units.
Please let me know if you need further help or had questions.
Hi Michelle,
I am just looking for an impact driver for small stuff around the house.
Will look forward for your suggestions.
I've you've been happy with the quality of your current drill driver, then I suspect an Ozito PXC 18V Impact Driver Kit would be a thrilling experience. Of course, there are more premium varieties available in our range, though I believe the Ozito unit will perform well for your purposes. It has plenty of power for jobs around the home, and the battery supplied suits the current range of Ozito tools.
Thanks Mitchell, much appreciated.
Do the Ozito 18V 1.5mAh batteries fit into the Ozito PXC skins?
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @ozitoyesorno. It's great to have you join us and many thanks for your question.
The PXC skins suit PXC batteries. If it is an older 18-volt battery, then it will not fit the current PXC range. You will, however, find some fantastic combo kits with batteries included if you are looking at starting in this range.
Hi @ozitoyesorno,
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. I trust Mitch's reply was helpful. Please let us know if you need any further assistance.
Can you still buy the older style Ozito batteries. I was given a combo kit but the battery is dead I tried everything to get it going but to no avail.so a new battery is needed I think or is their something else I can do.

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Neilo123. It's fantastic that you've joined us and many thanks for your question.
Could we please trouble you for a picture of the battery terminals and details of the model number? That will help us identify what older style battery you are looking for. Once we know which battery it is, I would be more than happy to contact Ozito for you to see if it is still available to order. You might like to consider replacing the charger at the same time as often it's difficult to decipher whether the battery or charger is at fault.
Dear Mitchell
I have a range of Ozito 18v Power Exchange tools, bought from Bunnings
I have been offered some 18v batteries from a different range, which fit Bosch BAT609 BAT618 17618 25618-01 BAT610G 24618
Would these be compatible?
Nick Morris
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @cnmorris. It's a pleasure to have you join us, and many thanks for your question.
The Ozito 18v Power X change tools suit the current range of batteries from Ozito in-store. Unfortunately, Bosch batteries only suit Bosch tools and won't fit into an Ozito product. An Ozito Power X Change 18V 2.5Ah Battery And Charger Pack will be a good option if you require an additional battery.
Please let me know if you need further information or had questions.
Hello, can anyone tell me where I can get hold of a new charger for the older model Ozito tools. I bought a kit in about 2016 it had Impact Driver, Drill, Torch and a Radio. They have 18v Batteries. The charger is missing. The tools have not been used that much but I am starting a new project. None of the existing chargers in Bunnings fit this battery. What can I do?
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @MsFixit. It's amazing that you've joined us, and many thanks for your question.
If you can take a picture of the model number and style of battery, I would be more than happy to contact Ozito to determine if a replacement charger is available.
I look forward to hearing the details of the battery and assisting you with obtaining a charger.
I have two Ozito Power XChange 3.0Ah, 18V LI-ION batteries, which I use for my lawn mower.
Since they reached their end of life after 6 years I want to replace them and I saw that Bunnings sells them as 3.0Ah and also as 4.0Ah. I wonder if they are the same size and 4.0Ah would fit into the same slot.
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @gezza. It's a pleasure to have you join us, and many thanks for your question.
As long as your current batteries have Power Xchange written on the side of them, then you can replace them with the Ozito PXC 18V 4.0Ah Lithium-Ion Battery. The slightly larger 4.0AH battery will fit in the lawnmower without issue.
Please let me know if you need further assistance or have questions.
Hi Mitchell, just jumping on this thread with a similar question if I may.
I have an Ozito PowerXChange lawnmower that uses 18V 4.0Ah batteries and I've bought some spares of those. I'm now looking at other tools in the PXC range, such as an edge trimmer that uses a 18V 2.0Ah battery, and a drill that uses 18V 1.5Ah. Can I use the 4.0Ah battery in any 18V PXC tool?
Many thanks,
Penny
