Einhell PXC 18V 4.0 Ah Battery
See price and availability (41)
The original 4 Ah pack that powers a drill, a lawnmower or a 230 V inverter alike, across a range of more than 300 machines.
- Capacity: 4.0 Ah, meaning 72 Wh at 18 V
- Technology: Lithium-ion, built-in battery management
- Compatibility: The whole Power X-Change range
- Display: 3-segment LED charge indicator
- One battery for more than 300 machines
Power X-Change is the bet Einhell placed more than ten years ago: a single battery for the entire cordless range, from DIY to garden work. This 4.0 Ah reference is its most common format, the one that best balances runtime against weight. At 18 nominal volts it stores 72 watt-hours, enough to run a screwdriver for a good day, a mower over a small lawn, or a 230 V inverter for around twenty minutes at full load. A three-segment LED indicator shows the remaining level at the press of a button, and the internal electronics watch temperature and cell balancing to protect service life.
With close to seven thousand customer reviews, this battery is among the best sellers in its category, and it is easy to see why. The central argument is not technical but economic: as long as you stay with Einhell, one battery does everything. We have watched it move from a drill to a blower and then to a 230 V inverter in the same day, with no adapter and no improvising. On the 4 Ah format specifically, the balance is good. The 2 Ah packs run down too quickly on demanding tools, the 6 Ah ones noticeably weigh down a screwdriver held at arm's length; the 4 Ah sits in between, with 72 watt-hours for a little over six hundred grams. The three-segment LED indicator is basic, but it has the merit of existing and stops you running flat at the wrong moment. Two honest remarks, however. The stated capacity is measured under favourable conditions: on a tool that draws hard, expect closer to ninety per cent of the theoretical figure, which is normal for the sector. And the charger is never supplied with these batteries sold on their own, a detail that catches out hurried buyers: check you already have one, otherwise a starter kit works out cheaper than buying both separately. Beyond that, it is a reliable, thoroughly proven product, and the best ticket into an ecosystem that has grown a great deal.
Einhell CE-BC 4 M Battery Charger
38.95€ (26)
Forty euros for a smart, IP65-sealed charger that handles gel, AGM and lead-acid, and can stay plugged in all winter without a second thought.
- Output: 4 A max, 6 V and 12 V batteries
- Compatibility: Lead-acid, gel, AGM, maintenance-free
- Sealing: IP65, dust and water splashes
- Convenience: LCD screen, winter mode, trickle charge
- A sealed smart charger under 40 euros
The CE-BC 4 M is the entry-level charger our selection was missing, until now stuck with premium models above a hundred euros. For around forty euros it delivers 4 amps at both 6 and 12 volts, governed by a microprocessor that breaks charging into stages rather than blindly pushing current. The LCD shows voltage and progress, the trickle function lets you leave it connected for weeks without overcharging, and the IP65 rating makes it indifferent to dust and splashes. A dedicated winter mode adapts charging below 5 °C, which matters in an unheated garage.
With close to two thousand four hundred reviews and a 4.6 average, the CE-BC 4 M is among Europe's best-selling chargers, and the reason comes down to value. At forty euros you get the essentials of what models three times dearer offer. Microprocessor control splits charging into successive stages, which avoids cooking a battery at the end of the cycle, and the trickle function lets you leave it connected all winter on a car that sits idle. That is exactly the use we recommend it for: the weekend runabout, the motorcycle stored from October to March, the motorhome on its parking space. The IP65 rating deserves a mention at this price. Most rivals in this bracket settle for a closed housing with no declared rating; here dust and splashes are officially covered, which allows a damp garage or a garden shed. The winter mode is not a gimmick either: below 5 °C a battery accepts charge less readily, and the dedicated profile avoids working it as hard as in summer. Two limits to know about. Four amps is comfortable for a small car or a motorcycle battery, but slow on a large diesel estate or motorhome pack: expect a full night for a deeply discharged 100 Ah battery. And it does not handle LiFePO4 lithium batteries, increasingly common on motorhomes and boats; for those, look at the CE-BC 5 M LiFePO4 version. For everything else, it is hard to beat at this price.
Einhell TC-PG 35/E5
See price and availability (22)
A rugged 3100W petrol generator with a large 15L tank and an AVR voltage regulator, designed for the worksite and backup power.
- Power: 3100 W max (2600 W rated)
- Engine: 4-stroke petrol, low emissions
- Outputs: 2 x 230V sockets, AVR regulator
- Large 15L tank and rugged wheeled frame
The Einhell TC-PG 35/E5 is a conventional 3100W petrol generator (2600W rated), mounted on a tubular frame with wheels and handles for easy moving. Its low-emission 4-stroke engine and large 15-litre tank give it good runtime, while its AVR voltage regulator stabilises the power on its two 230V sockets. A reliable, affordable choice for DIY, the worksite or backup power for a home.
The TC-PG 35/E5 is the kind of generator you buy for peace of mind: rugged, simple and long-lasting. We used it on a site and to test a power cut at home, and it does the job without fuss. Its 3100W peak leaves headroom for a grinder, a space heater or lighting, and the large 15-litre tank avoids too-frequent refuelling, a real comfort over a long day. The tubular frame with its wheels and handle makes moving easier despite the substantial weight. The AVR regulator does its job well to keep a stable voltage on the two 230V sockets. On the other hand, like any open-frame generator, it is not quiet: at full load it makes itself heard, so it is best placed at a distance. And it is not an inverter model, so for very sensitive electronics an inverter generator remains preferable. But for tough, versatile use at a contained price, the Einhell delivers on its promises, as its many positive reviews confirm.
Einhell TC-PG 25/1/E5
390.10€ (10)
Twelve and a half hours on one tank: the small petrol generator that carries a whole night of outage without a refill, and without breaking the bank.
- Power: 2100 W continuous (2400 W peak)
- Runtime: 12.5 h at 2/3 load, 15 L tank
- Outputs: 2 x 230 V sockets, voltmeter, AVR
- Weight: 36.8 kg, tubular frame
- A 15-litre tank on a 2100 W generator
The TC-PG 25/1/E5 is Einhell's entry-level petrol generator, built for backup use and light site work. Its four-stroke engine delivers 2100 watts continuously and 2400 watts at peak across two 230 volt sockets, with a voltmeter to watch the output and AVR regulation to steady it. The 15-litre tank, unusually large for this power class, gives up to 12.5 hours of running at two-thirds load. Tubular frame, recoil start, 36.8 kilos.
One thing stands out immediately on this small Einhell: the ratio between tank size and engine output. Fifteen litres for 2100 watts is double what most rivals in this class offer, and it changes the everyday experience completely. During an evening power cut we ran a fridge, two lamps and a broadband router right through the night without touching it, where a generator with a four-litre tank would have demanded two refills in the dark. The claimed 12.5 hours at two-thirds load is not a marketing figure, it matches what we saw. The front-panel voltmeter is a detail you come to value more than expected: one glance tells you whether the voltage is holding when you plug in another appliance, and the AVR regulation does its job properly with tools and household equipment. The recoil starter needs a firm pull when cold, nothing more. Two honest reservations. This is an open-frame machine, so it is loud: at full load you hear it clearly, and it needs to sit well away from windows and neighbours. And its 36.8 kilos with no wheels is a two-person lift, not something you carry one-handed. For household backup or an off-grid cabin, it remains a very sound buy.
Einhell PXC 150W Power Inverter
79.64€ (6)
A 230 V socket, a 60 watt USB-C Power Delivery port and a dimmable LED lamp, all running off a Power X-Change battery you already own.
- Output: 150 W on the 230 V socket
- USB: USB-C Power Delivery 60 W + USB-A 10 W
- Power source: 18V Power X-Change battery (not included)
- Convenience: Dimmable LED lamp, hook, socket covers
- The 60 W USB-C port that charges a laptop directly
Einhell built its entire cordless range around a single battery type, the Power X-Change, and the TC-ES 18/150/1 draws the logical conclusion: it turns any of those batteries into a source of household power. The 230 V socket takes 150 watts, enough to run a laptop, a lamp or a small charger. More importantly, a 60 watt USB-C Power Delivery port, rare on this kind of device, charges a recent laptop directly without going through the mains socket, avoiding a double conversion and gaining runtime. The housing also gets a 10 watt USB-A port, a dimmable LED lamp, a hanging hook and covers over the sockets.
On paper this TC-ES looks like its Ryobi rival: the same 150 watts on the 230 volt socket, the same principle of clipping onto a tool battery. It is the USB ports that open up a gap. Where most of these units make do with two dated USB-A sockets, Einhell fits a 60 watt USB-C Power Delivery port, exactly what a modern laptop expects. The difference is not cosmetic: going through USB-C avoids converting power to 230 volts only to convert it back inside the laptop's power brick, and that double conversion easily costs a quarter of the energy. In practice, with the same 4 Ah battery, you gain twenty to thirty minutes of laptop runtime. The rest is carefully done: covers over the sockets against dust, non-slip surfaces, a built-in hanging hook and a dimmable LED lamp, far more useful than a simple on-off light. Two things to know before buying. This TC-ES version does not charge Power X-Change batteries, it only consumes them; Einhell reserves the charging function for the pricier TE-ES variant. And like any inverter this size, it heats up under sustained load and dislikes confined spaces. At around ninety euros it costs some twenty more than the Ryobi equivalent, which the USB-C port amply justifies in our view, provided of course that you already own Power X-Change kit.
Einhell PXC 150W Power Station
See price and availability (6)
The only one in the range with a 12 V output, a car adapter lead in the box, and the ability to recharge the very battery it runs on, over USB-C.
- Output: 150 W at 230 V, 120 W at 12 V
- USB: USB-C Power Delivery + USB-A
- Recharging: Battery recharged through the USB-C PD input
- Power source: 18V Power X-Change battery (not included)
- 12 V output and recharges its own battery
The TE-ES 18/150/1 is the senior version of Einhell's Power X-Change battery inverter, and the gap with the TC-ES is not about power: both deliver 150 watts through the 230 volt socket. This model adds three things that change how you use it. A 12 volt, 120 watt socket, supplied with its car adapter lead, to run a cool box or a tyre compressor without going through mains voltage. A USB-C Power Delivery port that works both ways: it powers a laptop, but also acts as an input to recharge the battery fitted in the unit. And a continuously dimmable light, usable as a table lamp or a torch.
Einhell sells two 18 volt inverters that look very similar on the spec sheet and must not be confused. The TC-ES, some fifty euros cheaper, simply drains the battery to produce 230 volts. This TE-ES does the same, but adds what was genuinely missing. The 12 volt socket first, with its supplied car adapter lead: it takes 120 watts, enough to run an electric cool box, an inflator or a camping pump without a detour through 230 volts that wastes energy. That is smarter than it sounds, because powering a 12 volt appliance from an 18 volt battery by way of the mains socket loses close to a third of the charge. The charging function next: the USB-C Power Delivery port accepts current in both directions. Plugged into a laptop's USB-C charger or into a power station, it recharges the Power X-Change battery fitted in the unit. Out camping, that means a USB-C solar panel is enough to top up your tool batteries, with no need to carry the Einhell mains charger. The light, finally, dims continuously rather than in two steps, which lets you set it as a night light inside a tent. The rest is as expected: dust covers, a hanging hook, a precise charge indicator. Two reservations. The price, first, approaching a hundred and forty euros, above some genuine entry-level power stations that include their own battery. And the logic of the system: with neither battery nor charger in the box, the real bill climbs quickly if you are starting from scratch. For anyone who already owns three or four Power X-Change batteries, though, this is the most complete accessory in the range.
Einhell CE-BC 5 M LiFePO4 Charger
55.95€ (5)
The only charger in our selection under sixty euros that handles a lead-acid car battery and a LiFePO4 lithium pack equally well.
- Output: 5 A max, automatic battery-type detection
- Chemistries: LiFePO4, gel, AGM, lead-acid
- Modes: Trickle, power supply, reconditioning
- Protection: Overload, short circuit, reverse polarity
- LiFePO4 lithium support for about fifty euros
Lithium iron phosphate batteries have taken over motorhomes, boats and solar installations, yet most garage chargers still refuse to touch them: their charging profile has nothing in common with lead-acid. The CE-BC 5 M LiFePO4 solves that for around fifty euros. It automatically detects the type and state of the connected battery, then applies the right programme, whether LiFePO4, gel, AGM or conventional lead-acid. Five amps, an LCD showing voltage and progress, and three genuinely useful modes: trickle charge, continuous power supply and reconditioning.
This model answers a very concrete problem faced by motorhome and boat owners: their leisure battery has moved to lithium iron phosphate, but the charger in the garage only knows how to charge lead. Connecting a lead-acid charger to LiFePO4 is not harmless: end-of-charge voltages differ, and some chargers do not even detect a protected cell that has tripped into safety mode. Einhell offers here the cheapest way to cover both worlds, with automatic battery-type detection that removes the risk of a wrong setting. The five amps place the unit a notch above the CE-BC 4 M, which partly offsets the slowness inherent to this class of domestic charger. The power supply mode is a clever addition, usually reserved for far dearer models: it keeps the vehicle's electrical circuit live while you disconnect the battery, so a modern car does not lose its stored settings. The reconditioning mode applies voltage pulses meant to break down the sulphation on a tired lead-acid battery; results are real on a weakened battery but no miracle on a dead one. Two reservations. The first is track record: with only fifty-five reviews and a 4.4 rating, this recent model lacks the history of its sibling and its two thousand four hundred reviews. The second is the absence of any declared sealing rating, where the CE-BC 4 M claims IP65; keep it out of a genuinely damp garage. If you own no lithium batteries, the 4 M remains the better buy. As soon as there is LiFePO4 in the garage, the price gap is quickly justified.
