Bosch ProCore 18 V 7.0 Ah battery

Bosch’s ProCore 18 V 7.0 Ah high-performance battery is said to offer 90% more power than the previous 18 V 6.0 Ah battery.

The power increase is thanks to an improved cell design and measures taken to minimise internal resistances. The battery features CoolPack technology that allows it to handle higher power demand over a longer period. The technology is said to substantially prolong the battery’s lifetime compared to a conventional battery without that technology. Heat dissipation from the inside out is maximised in this technology by the synergy between several components; the housing and the heat sinks in the interior, which completely encase each individual cell, are manufactured from high-density polyethylene.

The battery is designed without any internal spacing, which ensures the heat it produces is not stored in the interior. Improved cell connectors made from copper provide lower resistances and more power as a result. The battery pack has special openings for heat dissipation during the charging process as well. The cooling feature means that the battery can be charged very quickly. The five-level LED display allows tradespeople to keep the charge level under control at all times.
