Welcome to a Cordless Drill Battery specialist of the Bosch Battery
They are the first to market, but they certainly won't be the last: Power tool manufacturer Bosch has rolled out wireless charging for 18-volt cordless tools before any of their competitors. An inductive charger transmits electricity to the battery placed atop it, meaning for the first time one doesn't have to disconnect the battery to juice it up.
The productivity gains spread across the entire body of users should be enormous. I can't tell you how many times I've been using my drill and impact driver in concert, and invariably one or the other will run out of juice, meaning I've got to go back and forth with one battery on both units while I charge the other battery up. Arguably this wouldn't happen if I had the discipline to disconnect both batteries with such as Bosch GSB12VE Battery , Bosch GSR12VE Battery , Bosch IASR 2490 Battery , Bosch BAT011 Battery , Bosch BH1214H Battery , Bosch H1214N Battery , Bosch B2500 Battery , Bosch Skil 3500 Battery , Bosch PSR 120 Battery , Bosch BAT038 Battery , Bosch BAT040 Battery , Bosch BAT159 Battery after every job and pop them back on the charger, but I just don't. With a charger frame like Bosch's, I could simply dock the entire tool after each gig and come back to 100% battery life, checking the little LED indicator on the base to be sure.
We've known for months now that Bosch would be the first power tool company to offer inductive batteries and wireless charging technology. Well, now it's actually up for offer. The first of Bosch's wireless chargers and batteries are finally for sale online. And more are on the way!
In case you missed the news the first time around, Bosch has figured out how to apply inductive charging techniques to power-hungry power tools. This kind of technology has been around for years on low-powered devices like electric toothbrushes but has proven to be tough to scale—despite the promise it could hold for electric vehicles.
Bosch set out to make its wireless charging technology work just as quickly and efficiently as its traditional chargers, however. In a recent demo at Gizmodo, the company proved that it did just that. The batteries charge just as fast and last just as long, and all you have to do is set the tool on a platform. Some beta testers actually think the batteries last longer, though in reality, they're just charging them constantly because it's so easily.
