Thanks so much for your help. I have followed your advice and thoroughly cleaned the blades, followed by the application of the WD recommended product. I haven't had the chance to test cut anything substantial yet but a quick trim of a section our box hedge was very good. Here are some pics of the cleaned up blades.
Thanks again for helping with how to clean and improve the cutting blades on my Ozito 18v Hedger back in August. The hedger now cuts very well indeed.
The problem I now have is that the battery (see image) has "given up the ghost" and I have found it is not replaceable. It's old technology. I have discussed with BUnnings staff in store and was referre d to the Special Orders Team but the replacement battery they have suggested will cost me nearly as much as a new trimmer and battery kit.
So my question to this group is whether anyone has a spare one of these batteries
they would be willing to sell me? Hopefully I'm not contravening any rules by asking this??

Hi @ChoicesNZ,
As this is older technology, you’ll find that most batteries like this one are nearing the end of their life cycle. Even if you were able to source another, it likely wouldn’t have many charging cycles left, so it may not be a long-term solution. At this point, it’s worth considering upgrading to the latest Ozito 18V PXC system. While there’s an initial investment, the batteries for a new trimmer are the same ones used across the rest of the Ozito 18V range, including drills, saws, and other garden equipment. Once you have a battery, you can use it across multiple tools, and then only need to purchase the tool “skins” as required. For longevity and flexibility, upgrading could be the more practical choice.

You might like to search for electronic recycling centres near your area, or perhaps your local council has a kerbside collection or drop-off centre, @ChoicesNZ.
