Bosch AHS 55-20 LI 18v Cordless Hedge Trimmer 550mm
Battery AH Explained
The best way to describe battery amp hour is that this is effectively the size of your fuel tank, the more amp hours your battery has then the longer the battery will last between charges. More amp hours does not increase the power of a given tool.
Battery Voltage Explained
A tool with a higher voltage than another is a bit like choosing an engine in a car, the higher voltage will generally mean higher power & performance. As with cars though a bigger engine does not always translate to better performance so it is important to compare the specifications of tools at different voltages between different manufacturers.
Bosch PowerForAll
The Bosch PowerForAll Tool range is a range of tools you can buy knowing that batteries are compatible with all tools in the range providing they are of the same voltage. eg 18v fits 18v, 12v (10.8v) fits 12v (10.8v) etc. Please also note that 10.8v is compatible with 12v & vice versa as it is just a name change. Indego Lawnmowers also use the PowerForAll 18v battery but require a cover plate to be removed if changing.
PowerForAll has many advantages not least the fact that once you have a tool with a few batteries then there is no need to buy the more expensive versions with battery & charger, you can just go ahead & buy the much cheaper no battery versions!
So remember PowerForAll signifies complete battery compatibility throughout the range. There is however, one caveat to this, some of the very first older chargers will not charge the very latest batteries & a battery charger upgrade will be required if you have a first generation charger. All batteries fit all tools however.
As of 2021 Bosch has licensed PowerForAll to other manufacturers whereby batteries between these manufacturers will be interchangeable.
Important
You cannot use Bosch Pro (Blue) batteries in either 12v or 18v DIY (Green) products.

Cracking tool. Light, well designed and easy to use. Anti-block works really well. The front 'saw' works a treat. It even had a good run time with a 1.5AH drill battery. Very impressed.
Very satisfied, thank you!!!
Overall its a good Trimmer. I have about 50 m of hedges (5 M tall) and managed to do it all on one charge. I found the trigger a bit tight so my hand was tired and loosing grip after a while. Also doesnt feel as powerful as the wired models I've had before. Its light and cuts really well especially small braches and is easy to negotiate on top of a ladder. Overall I'm very pleased. Service from Tooled-up was A++.
So pleased with this hedge trimmer having used petrol and corded/heavy units before. This is easy to use and, at 55cm length with a 20mm stem cut, gives a good finish. The one battery charge lasted the cutting of my 8 foot x 50 yards no problem. Good to have the second battery and charger as backup. Your ease of ordering and delivery is sound.
Great buy, fantastic product and really easy to use
Very pleased with the service & product from Tooled-up. Excellent swift no fuss delivery and the Bosch hedge trimmer is first rate and a pleasure to use making light work of trimming my medium size hedge. Highly recommend Tooled-up and will definitely use them again when the need arises.
Love my new cordless hedge trimmer - has made all the difference! Tooled-up were great too - delivered ahead of schedule and good value for money.
Excellent service
Fast delivery, good service.
Second purchase of same hedge cutter after first one packed up after 5 years. Replaced as performance very good.
This replaces my 20 year old corded Bosch 600mm trimmer. It's usefully lighter and the lack of a cord makes it quicker and easier to use. It cuts through the shrubs and hedges I have. My existing 2.5Ah battery lasts as long as I do without needing to recharge. Overall well suited to my own medium sized garden.
Marvellous hedge trimmer for standard garden hedges. It's light and easy to use. I was impressed that our hedge now looks much tidier than when I used to use mains powered model. Not having to worry about cutting the cable helps you concentrate on the work in hand.
It works well.
Good light weighted product. Perfect length for cutting.
Not used yet as it is a Christmas present for someone
After my 9yr old Bosch 52ahs had a switch problem, and having checked the probable cost of repair, decided to buy the new version I have used it once and performs as well as my old one or possible better very happy with it
Excellent service
Light and well balanced with plenty of power (which I was pleasantly surprised about with the hedge trimmer being battery powered). Also able to use batteries and charger from my Bosch drill which saved me some money.
I like the lightweight and the extra length, but I find it slightly-noisier than my mains-powered hedge trimmer.
Was pleased with the weight of the product and the ease of use. Had to wait three weeks for delivery due to the “virus”? Would use the company again due to ease of ordering.

Customer Questions & Answers
Q : Will the battery from a gsb55-20li fit the ahs55-20li .
A : I believe that is a Bosch Professional (Blue) drill, in which case the batteries are not compatible. The AHS 55-20 is part of the Home and Garden / Power4All (Bosch Green) range which uses a different kind of battery.
Q : Can I use my 1.5ah 18V 4AH batteries with this hedge trimmer. They are form the PSB -1800 -LI2
A : Hi James, yes - this hedge trimmer is suitable for use with all Bosch Power4All 18v lithium ion batteries. Note however that the 1.5ah ones have the smallest capacity of the range so you won't be able to get as much hedge trimmed on a single charge
Q : What height does the bosch ahs 55-20 reach to.
A : I can confirm that this hedge trimmer has a blade length: 550mm. the height it can cut to would be solely depending on how tall you are.
