Asking here as I'm aware quite a few of us run Worx Hydroshots.
I'm looking for 2x more batteries (ideally 4ah) for the 40V strimmer I have recently ordered - however Worx branded are surprisingly expensive. Has anyone had any luck with any of the cheaper, non-branded options that appear to be widely available on eBay, Amazon, etc?
TIA
I have 4 4ah ones from Amazon as they were half the price and have been fine for 6 months and are used nearly every day
I'm running a couple of the green 5ah ones in my mower. Good so far, but then that's only been 2 months of use. Dsanke
Just took a look at the worx site and theyre asking £87.99 for the 5ah . Bosch 18v 5ah are £50 each.
The trick with Worx, in my experience, is to keep an eye on their web site, their eBay site and Amazon for sales and discontinued products. Often you can buy something with batteries for less than the cost of the batteries on their own, and you get the tools essentially thrown in for free. My two 4Ah batteries came with a lawn mower and 2 port charger thrown in for about £120 late last year.

I'm also a Bosch blue user and as you say, £50 for a 5ah is expected - whereas the Worx prices atm are unreasonable, in my opinion of course.
Perhaps a "Bosch battery to Worx tool" adapter might be worthwhile...
Thanks Rio, will keep an eye out 👍🏼
I was going to say the the Worx website currently has 20% off but it's showing the 5ah batteries as out of stock. Plenty on their ebay shop at full price though
Hmmm...........
I run Makita with an adaptor on my Worx washer. Goes well.
My Erbauer battery from a cordless drill works perfectly with my Worx Hydro shot.
Batteries are lasting well after ~4 years of regular use most weekends washing the bikes down and the occasional bit of DIY
