Bosch Battery and Charger Starter Set PBA 18V (18 Volt System, 2.5Ah Battery, Charger, in Carton Packaging)

Was looking for an extra battery for my Bosch green diy tools, usually they are extremely expensive, camelcamelcamel told me I had missed the 2.5AHr at 20 gbp for most of June, so when it went down to 24 gbp again on 14 Aug I jumped at the chance. Was slightly suspect that this deal might be for "old stock", but no I was sent a proper Bosch battery, made in Hungary 05/2025, via official UK importer (according to the info etched on - see photo). It also has a red button to press to see state of charge via a row of 4 LED's. So far has been fully charged, used intermittently for a couple of hours on my hedge cutter, now down to half charge, all seems great! I prefer the smaller batteries as they are smaller and lighter weight, and still last a surprisingly long time for diy use.

Got this one as a spare for my wireless Bosch vacuum cleaner and it perfect for the job. It can be used across all other Bosch wireless tools so it's good fit for the maintenance kit.

Very good product as usual . I could not give it 5 stars as you cannot use the older type battery charger with it, luckily I had a new charger that I had forgotten about. Good value for money.

Large capacity battery for Bosch 18v appliances. Works fine with the chargers I have, for example, the AL 1830. It’s going to be very useful for those tools which I use for extended periods like my hedge trimmer. I’ve checked it with 3 or 4 devices like a sander and jig-saw, all fine. Battery has a useful battery check button so you can easily check the state of charge. Definitely worth paying the extra cost for this more up to date battery.

Lasts for ages

It was a present for my son he was very pleased with his present

Have had the Bosch Unlimited 7 vacuum cleaner for just over a month now (great vac) and it came with 2 3.0 Ah batteries. Perfectly fine, and they can be readily swapped to complete a full clean of the house, on Eco mode. They recharge in about 40 mins - which is fine too. However - the extra 1.0 Ah means that a mid-clean battery swap is no longer required (for the daily clean) and leaves the 3 Ah batteries in reserve for a deep clean and the additional (maybe unexpected) things like the cars or helping out old relatives. No more monitoring of the charge LEDs. Daily clean can now complete in Auto mode with one bar left.. Note that this battery is about 25% heavier than the smaller varieties (and about 20% larger), so if you already struggle with the total appliance weight then I recommend that you put up with the slight inconvenience of swapping batteries. Also, the recharge time is obviously 30% longer. Is it worth the cost? Well - that's subjective, and dependent on whether you already have appliances that can share the battery. I don't - all my heavy battery stuff is Makita (and won't be changing). BUT - yes - I'm happy with the purchase.

Fast delivery, works perfectly
