Einhell Power X-Change 18V, 2.5Ah Lithium-Ion Battery Starter Kit - Battery and Charger Set - Universally Compatible With All Einhell PXC Power Tools And Garden Machines

Seems to be a good enough battery and charger up to now no problems and a decent price

Extra power for my tools very happy

I have quickly discovered that the expensive part of battery-powered tools is the battery. It's sometimes cheapest to get a starter set with a drill, charger and batteries, even if you already have a drill!That's the route I decided to take, but my drill only had the 2AH batteries, and I wanted a bigger one for the circular saw I just bought.I didn't actually NEED a bigger battery as it turned out - these batteries are all pretty powerful, and I was able to cut through solid oak kitchen counter tops with the smaller 2AH batteries. The size has nothing to do with the available power, the only difference is that the bigger ones last longer.Nevertheless, it's useful to have plenty of batteries available. For jobs like kitchen fitting I've found that three is a good number - one in the drill, one in the impact screwdriver and one in the circular saw. Ideally another one in the charger... It gets expensive, which is why I made sure I got this in the sale. £40 for the battery and charger is not bad at all. I now have two chargers, which is always useful because I can have one in the workshop and one wherever I am working.From the older reviews it seems some came with an EU plug, but that seems to have been resolved now. My charger came with a UK plug on, so I was able to use it immediately. The battery had about 75% charge, so it didn't take long to fully charge it up. The charger has the usual lights to tell you if it's discharged, charging or full. The battery also has lights to tell you the charge status, which is handy. You just press a button next to the release catch.The battery only fits Einhell tools, officially. However, Einhell also make some of the tools sold by Lidl and Aldi, so you might find the batteries are interchangeable. The battery does NOT fit Makita, Bosch or Stanley Fatmax tools (old or new). You can get adapters...This 4AH battery is quite a lot heavier than the 2AH, which is worth remembering if you have to hold the thing over your head for any length of time. I guess that's why they make different sizes - use the right one for the job.

This item fits in all einhell products but powers different products for a different amount of time. The weight of this item allows it to be portable and suitable for any environment. The product has a neat and modern eye-catching design. The build quality of this product is top quality. The functionality of the product is great and I would recommend.

Really pleased with purchase. Great value battery and charger. Would highly recommend.

Essential product to accompany the Power X range of tools from Einhell. Good starter.

Works ok but not the next gen plus battery shown on the first picture which was a bit disappointing.

Very impressed it works really well on my block paving no more back breaking with using a wire brush other bending..it takes abit of time but does a good job of getting rid of weeds and moss..Battery has not ran out so not sure how l9ng one charge lasts maybe an hour!..its easy to us and it's not heavy..ideal for any small paving gaps..its well made..the only down side is the handle is not that long so for anyone nearing 5ft 8in tall it wouldI think it would make them bend more when using it
