The Bosch CORE18V Battery offers power and performance while minimizing weight. The battery employs Lithium-ion technology to deliver 80 percent more power than previous generation Bosch batteries. Next-generation, Bosch CORE18V cells are laser-welded and rail-connected for efficiency, allowing CORE18V batteries to deliver more performance than competitive batteries that have up to 24 percent more weight and are up to 35 percent larger.
The Bosch CORE18V Battery offers cell technology and a power connector within the 10 high-density cells that ensure low internal resistance. That means higher currents can be drawn from the cells over a long period of time.
Bosch has answered the need for battery performance in high-load applications, where cordless tools have previously been unable to provide enough power and runtime. The Bosch CORE18V Battery delivers up to 20 percent longer runtime than previous-generation Bosch 6.0 Ah batteries and up to 50 percent longer than 5.0 Ah cells. Thanks to its cell technology and power efficiency, the CORE18V battery can generate more current to finish jobs that other batteries can’t.
The battery housing of Bosch CORE18V is designed to transfer more heat to the outer surface, resulting in up to 35 percent better cooling effect than previous CoolPack batteries. The CoolPack 2.0 system employs a design to keep the battery cool for better runtime and longer life; updated CoolPack technology provides up to 135 percent longer battery life than batteries that don’t have CoolPack technology.
In addition, this technology combined with reduced resistance and more efficiency means that the battery is less likely to overheat during high-load applications.
Bosch CORE18V batteries are compatible with all 18-volt Bosch Lithium-ion tools and chargers. Bosch is developing high-power tools to take advantage of CORE battery technology.
