Bosch INDEGO S+ 500 P4A 18v Cordless Smart Robotic Lawnmower 500m2 190mm
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.

I purchased the Bosch Indigo S+500 robot mower because I was finding it harder to mow my lawn with a standard lawnmower due to ill health. The lawn is an very irregular L shape, rather uneven and on two levels with a slope in-between. The docking station and boundary wire were installed according to the excellent instructions, with pegs at 750mm spacing except where turns or dips required extra pegs. The mower was set off and completed the first cut without problems, except that the mower didn't dock properly – see item 2 below. It is nice that it maps the lawn and cuts in a proper stripe pattern, not missing any areas. This seems much better to me than the random, hope we get it all eventually system that most of it's competitors use. There were some issues, and I have detailed these below: 1. The power cable to the docking station is only 5 metres long. This caused problems with where to locate it in my garden, and probably many others. It needs to be a few metres longer. 2. My docking station is in a 'corner' location, and you have to change a setting on the mower to get the mower to dock properly. This is in the instructions, but I must have missed it. 3. The boundary wire peg spacing of 750mm proved to be insufficient for my rather uneven lawn. Although OK for the 50mm cut height, on the 40mm height on a sunny afternoon the mower cut the wire. It seems that the wire expands when heated and this made it too high. The repair was easily made with the supplied splice connector, but on reviewing the boundary wire on my lawn I decided to put in extra pegs. I fortunately had just enough pegs in the kit to halve the spacing to about 370mm and this has made a much better job of it.
I purchased this item from tooled up.com. When it arrived, unfortunately it was faulty. I called tooled up and spoke to Lise, who was extremely helpful. She arranged for the faulty item to be collected the next day and once tooled up had received it Lisa arranged for a replacement item to be shipped. A very big thank you to Lisa who was extremely helpful and went above and beyond, calling me to keep me updated etc and to ensure that the faulty item was exchanged with the minimum of fuss. Great customer service from tooled up.com and a massive thanks to Lisa for her professionalism and assistance.
Goods delivered in excellent time, well packaged and would recommend Tooled-Up to friends
