About this battery system

Einhell Power X-Change is an 18V shared battery platform across DIY, workshop and garden equipment. Certain 36V Twin-Pack tools take two compatible 18V batteries rather than a separate 36V pack.

For Twin-Pack tools, check whether both packs must have matching capacity and charge state according to the tool manual.

Manufacturer-supported example specifications below; individual tool fitments and Amazon availability still require checking.

Battery chemistry, cells and energy

Einhell explicitly identifies 21700 Li-ion cells in its PXC+ 18V 4.0Ah (item 4511553); this does not establish the cells used in all PXC packs.

Energy (Wh) = nominal voltage (V) × capacity (Ah). Divide by 1,000 for kWh. These are nominal estimates, not measured usable energy or guaranteed runtime. A 90Wh pack is 0.09kWh; at an illustrative constant 90W load, ideal runtime would be one hour before losses. Real power tools draw variable power.

Choosing a replacement battery

Platform family is an initial research grouping, not a verified fitment for every tool or generation. Check exact tool model, battery part number, connector and charger compatibility. Do not assume matching voltage means interchangeable.

Genuine manufacturer packs

Look for the manufacturer's exact part number, supported charger and capacity in Ah.

Safety and fitment

Avoid modified adapters and unverified packs; confirm BMS, protection, charging requirements and product safety documentation. Never assume that matching voltage, similar colour or an advertised adapter makes two packs interchangeable. Stop using swollen, damaged or overheating packs.
