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 @saracen. It's wonderful to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about Ozito batteries.

If the battery for your drill doesn’t fit your current charger, it's likely that the battery and charger are incompatible and from different series or voltages. Could you let us know a bit more about what you're trying to achieve? Are you missing the charger for your drill and in need of a replacement? If so, providing the model number of your drill would be really helpful, and we can contact Ozito to see if a replacement charger is available for you.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Gooday

Thankyou for your interest.

I recently purchased a  used drill with two batteries and no charger, although I didn’t ned the drill I (incorrectly) assumed that the batteries would be useful for the other Ozito appliances I have along with two chargers.

I am now aware that there are (at least) two sizes of battery which renders them unusable for the reason I purchased them as the batteries are not interchangeable.

The question for me is, do I purchase another charger for batteries for a drill  I don’t need or just write it off to experience.

I will check with Bunnings to ascertain the cost and availability of the errant charger.

Cheers

I guess that comes down to whether you need the drill @saracen. If you have some use for it, then it would be worth ordering a charger so it can be used. Since the batteries are incompatible with your other tools, unfortunately, they don't appear to be useful to you otherwise.

Bunnings advise that the drill and batteries are quite old and getting a charger is somewhat unlikely.

However I have discovered that an acquaintance has a similar vintage unit and the correct charger. He just got gifted a drill and two batteries.

Problem solved.

Thanks for your interest

Cheers

That's great to hear @saracen. Now that you have a drill, you'll be surprised how often you can find a reason to use it!
