The Bosch Starter Set 18V (2x ProCORE 18V 8.0Ah + GAL 18V-160 Professional) is a set with the GAL 18V-160 Professional quick charger including two rechargeable batteries. The two ProCORE 18V 8.0 Ah Professional battery packs are high-performance lithium-ion batteries with a voltage of 18 volts that deliver the same power as a 2,000 watt corded tool. In combination with Bosch's intelligent battery management and the new cell technology, the ProCORE batteries offer 87% more power than conventional batteries with optimised size and minimal weight. The CoolPack 2.0 technology optimises heat dissipation from the inside to the outside of the battery and ensures a longer runtime and a 135% longer service life compared to batteries without a CoolPack. Thanks to lithium-ion technology, there is no self-discharge of the battery and no memory effect, the battery is always ready for use. The GAL 18V-160 Professional quick charger charges with a charging current of 16 A, meaning that the ProCORE 18V 8.0Ah battery, for example, is charged to 50% in just 15 minutes and to 100% in 44 minutes. Active air cooling extends the service life of the batteries. GAL 18V-160 Professional batteries and charger are part of the AMPShare Alliance. A single battery fits all tools and machines in the blue Bosch Professional 18V system, but can also be used across brands with numerous other devices from other manufacturers in the AMPShare Alliance. No more buying new batteries for every new tool, no more searching for the "right" battery, with AMPShare one battery is enough for all employees. EU type C plug.
