Bosch Professional Battery Chargers

Bosch Professional Battery Chargers at Tooled-Up.com

Tooled-Up.com stocks Bosch Professional Battery Chargers for 12v and 18v cordless systems, from single-bay fast chargers to twin and six-port units, plus battery and charger sets that put everything in one box. They keep batteries topped up on site, in the workshop and in the van, so tools are ready when the job needs them.

The selection covers the Bosch Expert line and the Genuine Bosch Professional GAL chargers. The Bosch Expert EXAL18V-160 is a fast 18v charger with a 16A charging current, which fully charges the EXBA18V-80 battery in 39 minutes. Bosch rates it at up to three times faster than the Professional GAL 18V-40. For heavier workloads, the EXAL18V2-320 twin charger handles two batteries at once.

Voltage matters when choosing. Some chargers are 12v only, some are 18v only, and the GAL 12V/18V-80 handles both, which suits mixed tool kits.

Key Features of Bosch Professional Battery Chargers

• Fast charging current: The EXAL18V-160's 16A output cuts waiting time between jobs, so fewer spare batteries are needed.
• Active Air Cooling 2.0: Manages battery temperature during charging to protect the cells and support consistent charge times.
• FlexTemp Charging: Extends the temperature range in which Expert batteries can be charged, useful in cold vans and unheated sites.
• Twin and multi-port charging: The EXAL18V2-320 and the 6-port GAL 18V6-80 charge several batteries at once, ideal for site containers and workshops.
• Dual-voltage option: The GAL 12V/18V-80 charges both 12v and 18v Li-ion batteries from one unit, saving space and sockets.
• Charger and battery sets: Kits pair a charger with 12v batteries (2ah and 3ah) or 18v batteries (4ah, 5.5ah and 8ah), including the CoolPack and EXBA options.

All run from standard 240v UK mains, so they plug in on any site or in any workshop.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Bosch Professional charger do I need for 18v batteries?

For quick turnaround, the EXAL18V-160 or GAL 18V-160 suit most tradespeople. The GAL 18V40 is a standard option for lighter use. Check the product listing to confirm compatibility with your battery.

Can one charger handle both 12v and 18v batteries?

Yes. The GAL 12V/18V-80 charges both 12v and 18v Li-ion batteries. Other chargers, such as the GAL 12V-40 and GAL 18V40, are voltage-specific, so choose according to your tools.

Is a twin or multi-port charger worth it?

If you work through several batteries a day, charging them together saves time and keeps a fresh battery ready. The EXAL18V2-320 suits one user with heavy demands, while the six-port GAL 18V6-80 suits shared sites.

Should I buy a charger on its own or in a set?

A standalone charger suits you if you already own batteries and want faster charging or a second unit. A battery and charger set is better when starting a new system or adding capacity, and Tooled-Up carries both.
