FAQs

How long does it take to fully charge a 4.0 Ah Coolpack battery with the AL1860CV charger?

The AL1860CV fast charger will fully charge a 4.0 Ah Coolpack battery in approximately 45 minutes.

What is the benefit of the Coolpack technology?

Coolpack technology uses a heat-conductive housing and an integrated temperature sensor to dissipate heat effectively, preventing damage and extending both run-time and the battery's overall lifespan.

Can I use these batteries with older Bosch tools?

These batteries are part of the Bosch Professional 18V System. They are compatible with most Bosch Professional 18V tools manufactured from 2008 onwards. Always check your tool's compatibility.

How do I register for the Battery Premium Service?

You can register your battery online via the Bosch Power Tools website within 4 weeks of purchase to extend your warranty.

Are the 4.0 Ah batteries heavier than 3.0 Ah batteries?

Yes, higher capacity batteries typically have slightly more weight due to the increased cell count and materials, but the difference is usually manageable for most users.

What does the capacity indicator show?

The 3 LEDs on the battery illuminate to show the remaining charge level. A full illumination indicates a full charge, while fewer lights indicate a lower charge.

How should I store the batteries when not in use?

Store batteries in a cool, dry environment, away from direct sunlight. It's recommended to store them with a partial charge rather than fully depleted or fully charged for long-term storage.

Troubleshooting

Battery not charging

Ensure the battery is correctly inserted into the AL1860CV charger. Check if the charger is properly plugged in and if the power outlet is functional. Clean the battery and charger contacts with a dry cloth.

Battery not powering tool

Verify that the battery is fully charged. Ensure the battery is properly clicked into the tool. Check if the tool is compatible with the 18V battery system.

Reduced run-time

Batteries degrade over time. Ensure the battery is not overheating, as this can temporarily reduce performance. For consistently reduced run-time, the battery may be nearing the end of its lifespan.

Capacity indicator not functioning

This may indicate an issue with the battery's internal electronics. Try a different compatible battery to see if the indicator works. If the issue persists with the specific battery, contact Bosch service.

  • Durable construction suitable for professional job site conditions.
  • Clear capacity indicator for easy power management.

Cons

  • Requires compatible Bosch tools and chargers; not universally compatible.
