Bosch is a market leader in the power tools industry and at the forefront of modern battery technology. The Bosch 18v battery is one of the best on the market today as it uses Bluecore technology, which was developed by Bosch.
Bluecore batteries can charge in 30 minutes. Other batteries can take up to 3 hours to charge when hot. Bosch re-engineered its popular cordless tool line-up with new Bluecore battery technology. Bosch is so confident that users will get up to 50% longer battery life, that it is offering a two year battery guarantee with ProVantage.
Bluecore batteries were engineered with internal cooling rods placed between the battery cells to absorb damaging heat. The battery cells stay cooler during operation and charging as compared with standard batteries, which heat up quickly, speeding up chemical breakdown and shortening battery life. Best of all, all Bluecore batteries are compatible with current Bosch tools, including their cordless Hammer drill, Combi drill and Impact driver.
The Bluecore range of batteries replaces the Lithium ion technology, which had become the market standard, offering great features to the power tool user.
- Lithium-Ion Battery Technology delivers the following features:
- No memory effect - top-up charge without damaging capacity
- Higher capacity batteries
- Longer run times
- Faster charging
- Considerably less weight
- Almost no self-discharge over long periods
When the benefits of both technologies are taken into account, the customer is indeed getting an excellent product. The ability to upgrade the battery without having to replace the tool itself is unique to the power tool market and highlights Bosch’s desire to keep customer costs as low as possible. Bosch offer one of the most competitive battery solutions across today’s growing power tool market.
Bosch’s extensive range of 18v Power tools is widely recognised as being a leader in the marketplace. The range is popular due to its durability, design, cost and suitability for the task. The range also benefits from the interchangeable batteries throughout the range be it Lithium ion or the new Bluecore batteries.
Bosch power tools with a Bosch 18v battery include drill drivers, hammer drill drivers, circular saws, portable torches, jigsaws and reciprocating saws. With such an extensive range of tools, Bosch surely has a tool for everyone!
