Bosch is now meeting and exceeding these requirements by launching 4.0 Ah batteries for 14.4 and 18 volt lithium-ion professional tools. What matters is a long runtime and lifetime of the batteries.

While any guess about a US release of these batteries is purely speculation, you can still get any other Bosch Battery or Charger at Ohio Power Tool. Along with their boasts of increased run time, Bosch is claiming up to a 100% increase in overall battery life, and a bevy of other factoids (smallest, lightest in class, check out the picture below). This results in fewer “forced breaks” while your battery pack cools down, as well as a healthier environment for both the battery and the tool.

Most batteries simply have a failsafe that prevents the battery from working when it reaches temperatures in this range, but Bosch creatively positions the batteries within the pack and uses heat sinks to keep heat away from the battery pack. The fact of the matter is, a Lithium Ion battery cannot be operated when it is a temperature in excess of 158 degrees Fahrenheit. With a battery that has that long of a runtime heat management becomes an increasingly important factor. However, according to Bosch the reason why these batteries have such a high run time and the reason why they have their really ( ahem) cool name is the heat management system in place in the batteries. Now I’m no rocket surgeon, but adding 1 Amp-hour to a 3 amp-hour battery should add a 33% extended run time to your battery, because of math and stuff.

While releases of thins kind have lost their novelty after Metabo, Milwaukee and Dewalt have all announced 4.0 Ah batteries, the thing that really sets the Bosch Cool Pack is their claim of 65% more runtime over 3.0 Ah batteries. It takes 9 minutes to charge the ProCORE18V 4.0Ah to 50% with the GAL 18V-160 C (in Power Boost mode).Although they are a bit late to the party, Bosch has announced that they will be jumping on the 4.0 Ah battery bandwagon in early 2013 with the European release of the 18V Cool Pack. ⁶ versus competitors in the high-power battery class (ProCORE18V 8.0Ah: 555 cm³ MetaboLiHD 7.0Ah: 772 cm³ Dewalt FlexVolt 18V 9.0Ah / 54V 3.0Ah: 1102 cm³ Milwaukee M18 Redlithium High Demand 9.0Ah: 942 cm³) Bosch GBA 18V 6.0Ah (continuous current ProCORE18V 8.0Ah: 90A vs.
