Badwolf Posted October 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2021 As far as I'm aware they are not interchangeable. If someone has both and they are please post here and then I'm off to Aldi!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyb Posted October 14, 2021 Report Share Posted October 14, 2021 Lidle parkside batteries are interchangeable. I have the impact driver and the impact wrench both great value. My impact wrench (400n) undid my crank nut on the Spit 1500 no problem, although I did heat the nut up with a blow torch first. Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougbgt6 Posted October 14, 2021 Report Share Posted October 14, 2021 I bought a Karcher strimmer and have finally got my free additional proof-of-purchase battery, interchangeable with their other devices. People are selling them on Fleabay for £50! Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Danny - Sorry but I need to clarify, are you saying that Parkside (Lidl) batteries are interchangeable with Ferrex (Aldi) tools or just interchangeable with other Parkside 20v tools? If they are interchangeable with the Aldi range, guess where I'm off to tomorrow!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badwolf. the Ferrex and Parkside battery's are not interchangeable however someone has already mocked up an adapter that can be downloaded for free and 3d printed, and with a few terminals and a couple of wires it can be made and then you can use both tools with the same battery. If you do not have access to a 3d printer there are companies that should be able to print it for a few quid. Both the Ferrex and Parkside batteries don't have any of the overcharge protection circuitry built in so adapters are not a problem to use.

PeteH Posted November 4, 2021 Report Share Posted November 4, 2021 I got given heads up of a couple of items. may be of interest? coming up this weekend https://www.lidl.co.uk/c/car-essentials/c2112/w2 Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted November 4, 2021 Report Share Posted November 4, 2021 Tesco are cheaper on Redex, at least over here - theirs is £2 per bottle - but I wonder how good the tyre inflator / mini compressor is? I used a Freelander version recently and it was excellent; it certainly saved having to pump up the big compressor to top up four Herald tyres.

When I needed to go out Wednesday morning, one of the Mondeo's tyres was flat. The time to run up the big compressor and inflate it off that was shorter than one of those battery tyre pumps would have taken to displace that much air. Mind you, it's a Mondeo so the air in one tyre is worth about three on a Herald. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don`t know, but a guy on one of the Motorhome Websites has one, he bought last year, and reckons it will do Motorhome tyres OK?. If that`s anything to go by Mine are R235/65 R16`s?

Pete If it's like the three I've had then yes, it will inflate a tyre that size (roughly similar to my Mondeo's) but from quite flat will take long enough to make a pot of tea and drink it. My big compressor, on the other hand, I can turn on, walk back to the garage door, plug in the tyre inflator and hose, put it on the tyre, ppfffffffssssssssshhhhht, put it all away and turn off the compressor (before it's even reached full operating pressure!) and drive off.

Colin Lindsay Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 That's why I'm comparing with the Freelander version which is excellent. I've had the smaller cheapo items before which take all week to inflate a rubber ring, but the Landrover version, obviously designed for the bigger heavier tyres inflates in no time.

AS said, My "go to" is always the "shop" compressor too even if I have to attach several extensions to get there. But when your on site it`s not always convenient. (unless I have a bloody long hose?😁) That`s when a decent portable comes into it`s own, even a crap one can get you out of "bovver". ie enough air in a tyre to get you off the main road. My (older Fiat) one is capable of putting air in 16" truck tyres, so is the "Ring" one, (pressy from the grand-kids), albeit much slower.

Badwolf Posted November 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 Got the Lidl tyre inflator complete with a separate unit for inflatables (don't even think it??!!) about a year ago. Both run off their 20v batteries. Brilliant units, just keep them in my drill drawer so always handy. Blows up a tyre from flat in about 3 minutes. Set the pressure wanted, attach to tyre , switch on, load car, turns itself off at the preset pressure, disconnect, dust cap on, drive away. Dead easy.

Pete I've still got my old shop compressor, but it's stowed away at the moment. I've been using a suitcase type for home jobs, which is very useful for smaller stuff. One thing I would suggest, is to use a foot switch with it. That way, doing small jobs, such as an air nailer is far easier than having to reach over to switch it off & on.

Didn't work too well to start off with. Then I read the instructions and turned up the power with the thumbwheel!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Smith Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 I went to Aldi yesterday; only a loaf of bread.... came out with a Honduran telephone directory, set of cymbals, and a set picture postcards from Flat Holm on a rainy day. The Christmas aisle was well stocked with Easter Eggs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
