xu1 battery compatibility

[domeman]

 

I have a XU1 whipper snipper purchased from Bunnings but out of Warranty

model XGT/018

The battery is not holding much charge and I would like to purchase a replacement. However it seems that the new range is not compatible. Does anyone know of an equivalent?

Hi Mitchell,

I went to Bunnings Fairfield (VIC) and shared this post to enquire about the XU1 replacement battery to be special ordered but unfortunately I was informed that the battery was marked as 'restricted item' thus unable to be ordered. 

Would you be able to advise on how can I get the compatible battery for my xu1 pole pruner?

The ones that I found in store does not fit my older version i suppose.

Thank you.

Regards,

Agus

Hello @agus_melb,

Let me make some inquiries for you concerning that battery. Can you please post a photo of the identity tag of the pole pruner or perhaps the model number of the unit? This will help me track down the correct battery for your unit.

Hi @agus_melb 

I've just been in contact with our supplier for XU1 and they have confirmed that the battery with the code 340802601020 is still available and in stock. In order to process this order it must be ordered as a non-standard stock item. I made doubly sure with the supplier that we are talking about the same battery for the first generation of XU1. Allow me to send you a PM so that I can assist you further.

It is possible fir the battery to be rebuilt with new cells.

Hello @domeman

It's good to hear from you again, did you manage to get a new battery or did you have it rebuilt as you mentioned?
