Aldi Ferrex Compatible Battery

vintage66

Hi all,
has any one found a compatible battery for the “Active Battery’ range that power the last generation of Ferrex own brand tools sold in Aldi.
Theyve been like hens teeth over last few months in store and online.
it’s the 20v or 20/40v size I’m trying to replace with the five slot ( not four slot like most Workzone units).

I’m aware there are units on eBay etc costing four times original price and some adaptive type units that are not far behind in the same price range ( but you still have to buy a battery on top!)

Happy to pay a bit more for a generic if it fits…maybe with a little added vale power than original.

Aldi just say that they’ll inform category buyers.

Anyone solved this problem?

thanks

I have my suspicion that they have discontinued the range ... but they're not telling anyone since they have heaps of 20v chargers left to sell

The problems being battery supply and that people bought a spare battery when they were available.
