sorted byIncredible that you can post such a lengthy post and STILL no mention of what compatibles you claim to have used in the past. What are you afraid of?
Genuine Worx batteries have the same length of warranty, 12 months.
Read my post again.
Excellent news. And based on actual experience (like me). (edited)
Isn't that the point, online reviews seem good, but someone asked for personal experience and then someone's personal experience was given (that backed up the online reviews).
This is a problem on here at the moment, people giving feedback (good or bad) on a product that they have no experience of. It's wrong imo and I will call it out when I see it happening. If you are giving advice on here (either buy or don't buy), you really do need to have experience of the actual product or the advice given is simply not valid.
For clarification I haven't recommended this particular product because I have no experience of it but my point was in reply to posters who were suggesting all non original brand batteries are no good. I have decent experience of just such a product so posted my views based on that. And they didn't appear to like it too much (edited)
For those interested in battery compatibility with Worx see below from my own experience:
Guild - batteries have worked without issue on Worx tools and charger.
Ferrex (old 18v version) - worked with most Worx tools. Did not work when tried in a cordless mower. Worx battery worked on Ferrex tool.
Wesco - Worx batteries have worked on Wesco tool without issue.
Wickes (New 1ForAll version) - Batteries worked with most Worx tools. Must use same branded charger.
JCB (old 20V version) - Worked with all Worx tools but battery didn't slide fully onto one of my tools (plunge saw) the JCB battery is a bit bulkier. Battery casing could probably be sanded down to fit. Worked fine with Worx charger.
I've also Kress 20V tools, these have the American 5 pin Worx fitment. I have 2 adapters so I'm able to use either Worx or Kress batteries with each tool.
Other brands which I believe have the same fitment as Worx but I haven't tested compatibility:
Erbauer 18V (old non EXT version)
Titan 18V
Bauker 18V - Toolstation own brand but also sold under Positec (who own Worx) eBay account.
Mac Allister - Not certain but looks to be the same as Wesco/Ferrex batteries.
Blue Ridge (on Amazon) - Not certain but looks to be the same as Wesco/Ferrex batteries. Sold by Positec (who owns Worx) on Amazon.
It's a fairly simple request, no matter how tender of years you are. What personal experience of these type of batteries do you base your opinion of them on? (edited)
That isn't answering my question, with respect
Any personal experience? (edited)
To be honest, in nowadays situation with batteries I suspect even the original brands are finding alternatives. As such, you are correct to be weary of none oem brands getting whatever they can get their hands on and call it a product.
Personally I'd just stick with oem and suck it up, saves the grief of any issues. I'm not a professional so I can afford nice tools to make up for my bodgery.
Yet again, read my post calmly and realise your mistake. (y). You don't seem very good at this sort of thing TBH. (edited)
Which ones have you used? This is the first time you've stated this!
No, I'm genuinely interested in the bombshell you've just dropped that you HAVE used compatibles before and obviously didn't rate them so would humbly request you share the name of them so as to inform readers as to why they should be avoided. It's basically what this site is all about.
I've not only named mine but also provided a fresh pic of them in the Worx charger. You on the other hand ... (edited)
Dare I ask what your experience of compatible batteries like these is?
No, only old 4 pin same - 18v Ferrex, new Ferrex system is 20V but with 5 pins, not compactible, shame.
See my post after that one. I'm interested in your (belated) claim.
And you really do need to read posts fully before replying. Saves a lot of backtracking later (edited)
Oh dear. I've simply asked for more info regarding the compatibles you've used in the past, why is that taking the Mick? I don't understand your reticence to reply factually.
Ps your position can't be seen as being clear until you give more details of your claim, surely? (edited)
I just don't understand your reticence. I mean, you already (belatedly) claimed you've used compatibles in the past but seem remarkably reluctant to name them. I just don't get it...I really don't. Every reply to my request has seemed very much like deflection on your part. Why? (edited)
I think the Chinese owned thing isn't that big a deal. Most goods are manufactured in China now, even the big brands.
I've had a very different experience. I own quite a selection of tools from Positec.
2 X brushless drills, brushless SDS drill, brushless impact driver, brushless impact wrench, plunge saw, brushless angle grinder, detail sander, Jigsaw/recip saw, batteries from 2-6ah. I also had the brushed angle grinder for a few years before the brushless one came out.
Most of these tools have been well used around the farm and I've had just one issue. My first drill developed a fault where it would go in the wrong direction maybes once in every 15 times. I contacted the customer service and returned the drill for repair. To be fair I didn't hear anything so chased them up after 3-4 weeks, they sent out a brand new drill as a replacement.
In regards to battery powered garden tools, they're never going to be upto their mains of petrol counterparts. I think a lot of people have unreal expectations for them. They really are only for small gardens/very regular mowing. I know people that have them although I've never used the gardening stuff myself.
As you'll not from the above I've bought their more premium products and been really happy with them. My first cordless drill has been used with much bigger bits than she should have when in a pinch but she keeps on going.
In regards to trust pilot reviews you'll see Worx score considerably higher than big brand counterparts including DeWalt, Makita, Milwaukee and Bosch.
I don't think Positec (Worx) equipment is a danger to anyone but would agree to be cautious on the 3rd party batteries.
Did you actually read the last line of the post you responded to?
Anyway, to make it clearer here are some other trustpilot scores
Bosch power Tools (2.2, poor)

Makita UK (2.7, poor)

Ryobi UK (1.9, poor)

deWalt UK (1.4!! Poor)

Black & Decker UK (1.9, poor)

AND FINALLY
Worx UK (3.0, Average)

Notice anything? Which one has the highest score?
PS Note to daddybr00, THIS is the sort of post you do if you want your opinion/claims taking seriously! (edited)
Good batteries, but this deal isn't quite as good per unit as this one
ebay.co.uk/itm…936
2 for £39.99
However if you only want one.
One day I will get around to doing a long blog about all the battery crap I now know about these types of batteries.
Check out the reviews on the link. 92% give 4 and 5 stars from 275 reviews.
So what's your silution then?

You can’t in one beat call it ‘scaremongering’ then in another bold that it’s just your opinion, hardly a basis for scaremongering is it? No one knows how heavily you use your batteries and a few summers is hardly long term extensive use if you mowed the grass a few times. (edited)
Sorry I must be having a slow day (it’s been a long one) you’ll have to explain like I’m 5
I don’t have personal experience of these type of batteries, I’m just going by what is known of all rechargeable batteries. There’s a reason these are cheaper and it’s overall down to quality control - look at Eneloop rechargeables and how they are regarded, it’s really no different. You might be lucky and have a very reliable battery, others may not. (edited)
Must do mate, same pin I believe. Go in the Aldi website, search for the ferrex nail gun and read the comments. Someone said what’s compatible on there, was a fleet of options 👌🏽
There’s nothing wrong with personal reviews taken as part of the whole. But who do you trust? I could have made any old crud up and said yeah I’ve used these loads they’re trash or they’re amazing, it would be taken at face value despite being utter lies. This is why you have to have look at everything to come to a conclusion. Now I’m not disparaging anyone here but this is limited experience we are taking about. My own experience of cheap batteries is that they are cheap for a reason. No I’ve not used these particular ones, but I’ve used others and no longer bother being tight about them. Everyone is free to weigh that up along with the other opinions expressed here in order to form a balanced view.
Fwiw I believe bellboys when he says he has had a great experience of them but this does not mean everyone will have the same. Look at the Miele washing machine service thread or even the quite amusing one on the tin opener to see just how polar opinions can be. (edited)
It doesn’t matter does it, because neither of us has used this particular product, but apparently your opinion is still more valid than mine regardless and mine deserves a calling out
Good to hear, so much more powerful when an opinion is based on actual experience IMO
