About this battery system
Bosch Professional's blue 18V system includes standard GBA packs and ProCORE18V batteries. ProCORE packs focus on high-current output and heat management, and the platform participates in the AMPShare alliance.
Bosch Professional 18V (blue) is not the same battery system as Bosch DIY POWER FOR ALL 18V (green).
Manufacturer-supported example specifications below; individual tool fitments and Amazon availability still require checking.
Battery chemistry, cells and energy
Bosch advertises advanced cell technology and COOLPACK thermal management; the exact cell format should be checked against the specific pack rather than assumed.
Energy (Wh) = nominal voltage (V) × capacity (Ah). Divide by 1,000 for kWh. These are nominal estimates, not measured usable energy or guaranteed runtime. A 90Wh pack is 0.09kWh; at an illustrative constant 90W load, ideal runtime would be one hour before losses. Real power tools draw variable power.
| Example manufacturer pack | Capacity | Nominal energy | Amazon UK |
|---|---|---|---|
| GBA 18V 4.0Ah | 4Ah | 72Wh / 0.072kWh | Find pack ↗ |
| ProCORE18V 4.0Ah | 4Ah | 72Wh / 0.072kWh | Find pack ↗ |
| ProCORE18V 8.0Ah | 8Ah | 144Wh / 0.144kWh | Find pack ↗ |

Choosing a replacement battery
Platform family is an initial research grouping, not a verified fitment for every tool or generation. Check exact tool model, battery part number, connector and charger compatibility. Do not assume matching voltage means interchangeable.
Genuine manufacturer packs
Look for the manufacturer's exact part number, supported charger and capacity in Ah.

Check model-specific compatibility, seller identity, independent safety evidence and warranty.

Avoid modified adapters and unverified packs; confirm BMS, protection, charging requirements and product safety documentation. Never assume that matching voltage, similar colour or an advertised adapter makes two packs interchangeable. Stop using swollen, damaged or overheating packs.
