Can I use batteries from other Bosch tool series?

This saw is compatible with all Bosch Professional 18V system batteries. It is not compatible with batteries from other voltage classes.

What does Electronic Motor Protection (EMP) do?

EMP protects the motor from overload, preventing damage and ensuring a longer lifespan for the tool, especially during demanding tasks.

How do I get the Bosch Battery Premium Service?

The Bosch Battery Premium Service requires registration of your batteries with their part and serial numbers within a specified timeframe after purchase.

Is there a 'no memory effect' with these batteries?

Yes, Bosch Premium Lithium-Ion batteries have no memory effect, meaning you can recharge them at any time, regardless of their current charge level, without damaging the cells.

What is the benefit of the CoolPack technology?

CoolPack technology provides better heat dissipation within the battery, leading to up to 65% longer run-time and up to 100% longer lifetime compared to batteries without this feature.

Troubleshooting
