Hi team member
I have recently brought a Metabo digatil workplace radio and wass just wondering if you can advise me on .weather an ozito 18 v battery is compatable with it thank you
Hello @david6
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's magnificent to have you join us, and thank you for sharing your question about your Metabo radio.
One of the best things that Metabo did with their battery design is that they've kept its form factor, which means that a new battery will still work with an old Metabo tool. However, the Ozito battery and the Metabo battery may look similar, but that's as far as it goes. I don't recommend testing an Ozito battery into the Metabo radio for the fact that the polarity and functionality of the pins are differently laid out.
Forcing the Ozito battery into the Metabo radio slot could result in either the radio being damaged or the battery shorting out. A good investment option would be to consider getting a Metabo 18V 1 Piece Cordless Brushless Combo Kit. When you consider that if you were to purchase these items individually, it would cost a great deal more. Whereas in this kit form you get two batteries and the charger plus the drill included.
If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @ozito. It's brilliant to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about battery compatibility.
The battery will be compatible if the drill and mower are both from the PXC series. If you can show us some images of the drill, mower and battery, our knowledgeable members will be able to confirm whether the battery is interchangable.
Just wondering if the ozito pxc batteries will fit into other ozito tools ie: whipper snipper. I have the base model and find that the battery dies pretty quick and am looking for a upgrade.
Cheers
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @tando82. It's great to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about Ozito battery compatibility.
All PXC series batteries will work will all PXC series tools. If your whipper snipper is a PXC version, then the PXC batteries will work in it. If you have the Ozito 18V Cordless Grass Trimmer Kit or similar base model, I'd recommend you speak with the Special Orders team at your nearest Bunnings to order a suitable additional battery or consider upgrading to a PXC series line trimmer. Once you've purchased a tool and battery in the PXC series, you'll know everything else in that series is compatible.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Can you also use the ozitu battery for the blower/ edger combo and vice versa in the ozitu lawnmower?? thanks
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @wwoman68. It's brilliant to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about Ozito battery compatibility.
The battery will be compatible if the blower/edger combo kit and mower are both from the PXC series. If you can show us some images of the blower/edger, mower and battery, our knowledgeable members will be able to confirm whether the battery is interchangeable.
They're compatible if it's this combo and one of these mowers.
Please let me know if you have further questions.Mitchell
Hello @janette1
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's fabulous to have you join us, and thank you for sharing your question about Ozito batteries.
The quick answer is yes, you can still purchase Ozito batteries from Bunnings. However, it all depends on which battery you are referring to. Naturally, not all Ozito batteries are available as some of the very old models sometimes get phased out or come to the end of production. Did you have a specific model in mind? If you do, I'm more than happy to inquire for you to see if it is still available.
If you need further assistance, please let us know.
Hi
ive an older Ozito 18v lawn mower with 2 18v 3.0 batteries. One battery has died. Can I mix n match. Use a 18v 2.0 or 4.0 battery. will it work if it’s one of the batteries with an X on it when mine don’t?
thanknyou.
Hi @fireymark,
First, let me welcome you to the Bunnings Workshop community! It is awesome you have decided to join us and ask about your battery swap. From what I have read, the PXC series batteries are only compatible with the PXC range. Do you know which range your lawn mower is from? Our resident DIY expert @MitchellMc will be back online tomorrow to help assist further.

This is my lawn mower. Any advice on batteries would be great if I can use a 18v 3.0 with a 2.0?
Hi @fireymark
To answer your question yes you definatly can use 18V 3.0 +2.0 or 18v 3.0 + 4.0 As long as the batteries physically fit the mowers connectors and physical slot area. How ever one battery will be working harder than the other in 3.0 and 2.0 situation and may cause it to fail more prematurely so is not an ideal situation.
How ever I would be seeking a new battery pair for your mower 18V 3.0+3.0 or 18V 4.0+ 4.0 as the best longer life option.
Well there is an indication that the older ozito batteries are not compatible with the newer PXC X batteries. But I cannot confirm or dismiss this to be a fact
@fireymark you said you have a battery with an Xmarked on it will it physically plug into your mower? Are the new PXC 18V batteries physically compatably at the connectors? The voltages on the batteries are the same so they will be totally suitable unless they have some sort of extra chips,
You have a PXC mower there, so any PXC batteries will work in it. As @Jewelleryrescue has mentioned, it's not a great idea to miss match amperage on the dual batteries as the mower will only run for as long as there is power in the lower amperage battery. Best to stick with the same amps.
Thanks @MitchellMc
For finding that mower is PXC now @fireymark can buy replacements and keep his mower operational was my main concern it would be bad to have ozito mowers not backwardly compatable with their own batteries.
I think everyone knows the bigger the battery capacity the more energy dense the battery and typically larger the size which also may not fit Try getting a C cell battery into a AA spot. I wasnt sure about Ozito mowers larger capacity batteries fitting in smaller capacities contact spots. lol next trip to Bunnings I will have to educate myself more on mowers.
Electricity power and Electronics is one area unless you have studied in that field that is not easy to pick up and digest.
So It is I think slightly important to lean to one side and steer the boat back on coarse.
Yes, you certainly can mix 4 Ah with 2Ah this will make a 6Ah battery with no problem assuming you are talking about 2 batteries of the same type at the same charge level(you should charge parallel batteries together so there is no voltage difference as voltage imbalance a spark will occur like jumper cables to a flat car battery. ), As a percentage of their capacities, they will both charge and discharge at the same rate, though the current into and out of the 4Ah battery will always be about double that of the other. You cannot connect them in series at all, but you certainly can parallel them. You can bet your life on. End result is a 6Ah battery. Power discharge wont stop at 2Ah. or 4Ah The only consideration is the internal resistance and chemical composition changing with age. The larger battery should have lower internal resistance. So each battery will perform slightly different where as the same or very close specifications is best. Ie same capacity battery 4Ah + 4Ah. This also applies to old and new batteries as over time the specifications will change creating in balances between cells.
So The ideal is two new batteries of the same size and age. Or two old batteries still working.
For those who disagree with my answer, let me draw a parallel that is a near-perfect model. You have 2 large elevated rectangular water tanks which are at the same height and have equal height, but one’s cross-section is 1m x 1m while the other is 1m x 2m. Both are open at the top to the atmosphere. Directly under their bottoms is a pipe T-fitting connection connecting them, then a single pipe down to a valve and a load, let’s say a water turbine. The water pressure at the turbine is equivalent to the voltage of two subject batteries, the water in them is equivalent to the amp-hour capacity of each, and any flow of water out the bottom is equivalent to current going to a load. Now open the valve and let the turbine run. If you know anything at all about the physics of this, you already know that the water level in both tanks will be equal to each other by virtue of the T-fitting, and that as water drains from the two tanks, will remain level, even as the levels drop. There will never be a case where water drains from one tank into the other, and there will never be a case where the larger tank is not draining water at exactly double the rate of the smaller.
Great analogy @Jewelleryrescue. I just wanted to point out that Ozito recommends always using two batteries of the same capacity and same charge state with the mower. So, even though, in theory, the batteries will drain at the same rate, I like to stick on the side of caution and recommend the same amperage.
I agree 100% @MitchellMc
You absolutely said all the right things about dual or multiple batteries with out my boring bits. 🙂
No point having my supplemental knowledge collecting dust so its good refresh my information and dusting it off. The principals apply across 4x4 cars RVs models cars owners s many things.
I’ve lost the charger for my old Ozito batteries. Do Bunnings sell the chargers as the old batteries don’t fit on the new range of Ozito 18v tools.
Hello @dolittle
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's a pleasure to have you join us, and thank you for sharing your question about your Ozito batteries.
Would it be possible for you to post photos of the top side and bottom of the battery? This will allow us to better identify the type of battery that you have. We can then try to find out if Ozito still has the charger for your type of battery.
If you need a hand posting the photos, please let me know.
Thanks Eric. please find a pic of the battery that I have.
Thank you for posting those pictures of your battery. I'll be sending these over to Ozito and ask them to confirm if they still have a charger for this battery. As soon as I have more information, I'll let you know.
My apologies for the delay. I've just been in contact with the Ozito technical team and they've requested for a photo of the tool and it's model tag. Unfortunately, there are several models that are similar in appearance so they need to make sure they see the serial number of the tool so that they can track down the correct charger.
Thank you for your patience.
My mother has an older Ozito mower (LML-136), which uses the 36V Li-Ion 3.0Ah batter (ACCLB-136). Can I buy these still, or can I use an alternate? I notice the newer batteries design has changed.
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Josh3. It's brilliant to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about Ozito batteries.
I'll contact Ozito after the weekend to check on the availability of replacement batteries.
Many thanks for your patience.
Hi @Josh3,
I apologise for the delay. I've spoken to Ozito, and the 36V Li-Ion 3.0Ah battery (ACCLB-136) is no longer available from Ozito. The Ozito mower (LML-136) was discontinued in 2014, and the batteries remained available for several years after that. Unfortunately, the battery is now also discontinued.
You'll find that the battery is typically the bulk of the cost with a mower/battery combo. The cost of replacing that 36V battery would get you most of the way towards the Ozito PXC 36V (2 x 18V) Cordless Lawn Mower And 18V Grass Trimmer Kit that comes with two 18V 2.5Ah batteries. Or, if your mother has a larger yard, then you might like to go for the Ozito PXC 36V (2 x 18V) 335mm Cordless Lawn Mower Kit that comes with two x 18V 4.0Ah batteries.
hi I have a ozito OBL-018 Li-lon blower but no battery & have search online with no luck is there anywhere I can buy replacement or is there another battery that would b compatible with my blower I could buy plz help me as I have absolutely no idea lol thank u in advance
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @bzalmummy. It's wonderful to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about purchasing a replacement Ozito battery.
The battery for your blower is available from Ozito and can be ordered through your local Bunnings stores Special Orders desk. The product code for the battery is 340802601020.
Please let me know if you have further questions.
