Additional battery for xu1 trimmer?

[Paul60]

Hi just bought a new xu1 2 in 1 pole pruner hedger. Wondering about purchase of additional battery as ones sold in tool shop don't fit. Is it a special order and can I get something over 1.5 amps.

Hello @Paul60

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's wonderful to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about the XU1.

Was it this model that you purchased? The XU1 18V Cordless 2-In-1 Pole Pruner And Hedge Trimmer Kit I/N: 0404140? If it was, please let me do a bit of an investigation as it is a brand-new unit and the new batteries should fit onto it. I'll be passing by one of the stores tomorrow and I'll let you know how I go.

Hi Eric. Yes brand new model. Battery has 3 slots in it. Just don't want to sit round waiting for battery to charge when pruning trees.

Hi @Paul60

I've double-checked the battery fittings and I'm afraid the only battery that will fit your pruner is that exact same battery model. I've sent off an inquiry regarding this and am just waiting for a reply from our supplier. As soon as I have more information I'll let you know.

Hi Eric I need a replacement battery, 18V Lithium 1.5Ah for my XU1Cordless Hedge trimmer. I have been advised that the battery is obsolete as it is a long pin 4 point which has been replaced with a short pin 4 point battery which is not compatible.  Is this true ???

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @choluk. It's great to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about batteries.

Can you please provide the hedge trimmer's model number so I can contact the supplier and find out if additional batteries are available? You should find the model number on a sticker on the side of the unit.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hello @choluk 

Thank you for your patience. Our supplier has responded and unfortunately due to the age of the product, the battery is no longer available. Being an older model, the new range is not compatible.

I can only suggest having a look at the available range from Ozito and Ryobi such as the Ozito PXC 18V Cordless Hedge Trimmer Kit - PXCHTK-218 or the Ryobi One+ 18V 40cm 2.0Ah Cordless Hedge Trimmer Kit.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
