Safety and Compliance

All Bosch Home and Garden battery packs and chargers meet stringent UK and European safety standards, including CE marking and compliance with relevant BS EN specifications. The chargers are designed for UK 240V mains electricity with standard 13A plugs, incorporating double-insulation and automatic cut-off systems that prevent overcharging.

Users should always charge batteries in well-ventilated areas away from flammable materials, and never attempt to open or modify battery packs, as this voids safety certifications and presents serious hazards. Bosch batteries include multiple thermal fuses and pressure relief mechanisms that protect against internal faults, meeting the highest safety standards for lithium-ion technology.

Always dispose of end-of-life batteries responsibly through designated recycling points. Bosch participates in battery take-back schemes, and many retailers including Tooled-Up can advise on proper battery recycling in accordance with UK Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) regulations.
