| Reviews | As someone who relies on cordless tools for my DIY projects, a dependable charger is just as important as the tools themselves. I recently received the Bosch 18V Connected-Ready Lithium-Ion charger for testing, specifically to keep my Bosch PROFACTOR saw battery ready for action.
This charger is straightforward and effective. It quickly charges the 18V CORE18V batteries, ensuring minimal downtime between tasks. There are clear indicator lights that let you know when the battery is charging and when it's fully ready to go, which is a simple but very helpful feature. For any serious DIYer, having a reliable charger like this is key to staying productive. It ensures your batteries are always topped up, so your tools are ready to perform whenever you need them. This charger is a solid, no-fuss accessory that simply gets the job done. | Feature packed charger! This Bosch 18V turbo battery charger packs 16 amps of charging current that charges up to 70% faster than the fast charger when using the power boost mode. The active air cooling uses 2 fans to cool the battery as it’s charging to protect the battery from overheating while optimizing charging time. There is a status indicator on the right side of the charger to let you quickly and easily see the charge status. This is compatible with the ever growing line of AMPShare batteries and tools. It can be connected to an available, sold separately, connectivity module that links batteries and devices to monitor battery conditions, charge levels and additional charge modes. These 2 additional charge modes are available through the PRO360 app. I did not purchase the module so I cannot comment on those features, just that they are an option. The 5 year warranty offers great peace of mind. The charger does make some noise as it has the 2 fans, but it isn’t overly loud by any stretch. I am still amazed at how quickly this charges a 12ah battery. I definitely recommend this charger for anyone using Bosch 18V, especially the CORE 18V. | He said the charger is easy to use that anyone could do yes he would reccomend to anyobe he thougjt it was great and yes he would buy one just to have an extra one on hand so he can charge 2 at one time | I absolutely love this charger! It charges super fast and it is super easy to use! It does not take up much space and it is very well made! I use it a lot and it only takes about an hour to charge my battery! | A standard battery charger with two upgrades, Bosch has added an audible ding when the battery has been charged to 100%, admittedly I found myself looking around the workshop to see what made the sound. This battery also comes with a Power Boost button to accelerate the process and put the battery back to use, zero issues or deficiencies, works as advertised. | Absolutely love this battery charger. Using an 18v 8 amp battery it only takes about 20 minutes to charge from zero to full charge with the power boost activated. It doesn't use very much electricity and the wifi and Bluetooth capability comes in so handy. | 16A

GAL18V-160C Fast charging something That you can have with you at all times works great with a power converter Plug and go Get yours today ❤️❤️ | This charger is great, not only does it show how much charge the battery has. It has a built in fan to keep it cool. It beeps when the battery is charged the best feature is the power boost button it gets the battery charged even faster all you have to do is push the button! | This BOSCH GAL18V-160C battery charger is a game changer. The power boost technology makes charging batteries much easy. It allows batteries to be charged in minutes. That means more working and less downtime. It is very light for a charging station and it completes the 18V batteries. | This 18v charger works fast and its very lightweight charging was never made faster. When my battery is almost dead I can count it charges my battery very fast to Finnish my job at ease . A must have for all Bosch batteries and for that I rate this product a Perfect 5 out of 5 stars. | The tool works great. Good power, battery life, the case is nice to have and the batteries charge quickly. I have 8 of these bosch rotary hammers in various sizes and they are all nice except for 1 major defect.....the batteries are INSANELY hard to remove from the tools. When they are brand new its ok, you push down the button and with the other hand you need to push the battery off (unlike most batteries with side buttons and easy 1 handed removal, this is a 2 hand job) but when there is any dirt, or saw dust in the track and button release, it can range from difficult to almost impossible to remove the batteries | This Bosch Powerboost Core 18-V Turbo Charger is definitely the fastest battery charger that I’ve owned!! The charger is compatible with 18-V lithium batteries ranging from 2 ah, 4 ah, 8 ah and 12 ah (standard to heavy duty jobs). I have the 12 ah battery and it charges pretty fast. Once you put your battery to charge, the chargers active air cooling feature turns on automatically to cool down the battery. Plus, the air fan is pretty quiet. If your battery temperature is too hot, the alert sign feature on the left of the charger will flash red. The charging indicator flashes 5 LEDs that lets you know the battery status. There are three charging modes, standard, power boost and max lifetime. Standard can charge up to 100% which is activated on default. Power boost feature is a button on the battery that once pushed, it charges the battery up to 50% in a fast and shorter amount of time. This power-boost feature is one that I really enjoyed using as it has made me finish my job faster! You can also download the Bosch Toolbox app that pairs your charger and a blue LED indicator on the battery will flash. There are different functions you can adjust like your charging modes lets you know the charging status. The material and quality is high and durable. Overall, I am very satisfied with the effectiveness of this product and its high performance. I would totally recommend getting it! | I love this charger it charges the battery family quick it's sleek not that big easy to use very straight forward the technology in it is new and better than most chargers I have used I definitely recommend this charger | Surprisingly fast charger. It has a cooling fan that I was also surprised by. The fan is pretty quiet, not that ot really matters. You can really see that Bosch put some thought into the design and build of this charger. | 18V Connected-Ready Lithium-Ion 16 Amp Battery Turbo Charger with Power Boost
This charger has a cooling fan on it and have a Bluetooth connectivity, to charge my Bosch core 18v 9ampH battery within an half hour to 45 Minutes with this charger and love It. It also has an ability to connect it via Bluetooth with the Bosch App which will tell you about status of battery. Also the app can tell you if your battery is good or going bad or you can place battery in storage mode to which I think is trickle charge. It is an awesome charger. Turbo charging works well all tough I would not recommend to use it all the time but only when you need to finish the job I notice slightly hotter battery which is normal for turbo charge. After using it for a short while it still works like new no malfunction in the charger and my batteries. I have everything from the little 2 amps to the big 8 amp and now the 12ampH and this thing charges them all in record time. What used to take me hours to charge the 9ampH on the little that comes in a bundle charger this thing does in no time with turbo option! I load it up and just let it go, I don't have to worry about stopping work and going back every 30-45 minutes to change the battery. HIGHLY RECOMMEND | Charges quickly, has a fan to cool down the batteries so it doesn’t overheat. And lets you know when it’s done charging. And has upgrade capabilities. Definitely love this and would recommend to any person interested interested in getting this. | Rapid Charger:::: wow it sure does live up to its name. It was quite surprised on the speed it took to charge my battery. The air cooling is a nice feature which will help out during the warm months and heavy usage of batteries while working. Also having the power boost is a fantastic added feature that does not disappoint, very helpful.
I like the small footprint that the charger takes up as well as the LED lights that are bright and useful.
You will not regret purchasing this charger | Convenient, charges fast and efficiently. Lightweight making it easier to take with me on jobs if needed. This whole package is truly the best. You cant go wrong with it. Since i received this i know of a few people thst have purchased as well. | The charger gave me excellent results from the first charge.
I charged my battery 🔋 the first time out of the box.
Proceeded to come back and check progress shortly thereafter.
Too My amazement the battery was fully charged thinking it would be about half three quarters.
Next charge was complete very fast also

Overall, the 18V BOSCH POWERBOOST TURBO CHARGER is a game-changer for anyone using Bosch 18V tools. If you want fast charging, reliability, and compatibility, look no further. Highly recommended! | Definitely a worthwhile purchase, thus battery charger is one of the best i own yet. The cooling fan is a great feature to prevent battery from getting to hot during charging.. you have the option to sped up charging with a click of a button, but regardless Definitely charges batteries fast on normal settings. I Definitely recommend this to others | Battery is a nice design fits well and is easy to load. So far I’ve only used it completely about ten times seems to hold a charge very well. Charged and unused it keeps a charge very well. Amazing products and very high quality | Very happy with this battery charger that is super good and of excellent quality works super well since it charges the battery perfectly which is very durable I recommend it 100% it is super easy to use | I set this charger up at my charging station. I put my new battery onto the charger and it was fully charged already. When I returned home from work the battery was completely drained. I placed it on the charger and it didn't take long and it was fully charged again. I like the option of the power boost button. I can get at least a fifty percent charge in about twenty minutes if I need the battery quickly to finish up a job. At some point I would like to acquire the Connectivity Module that can be installed in this charger. I would be able to check on the batteries charging status and switch it over to the power boost mode all from my phone. This is a really a highly advanced charger that has all the bells and whistles. I guess you could call it a smart charger. This is a great charger. I would highly recommend it if you want a high quality product that will last for many years. Bosch only makes high quality products like this charger so that you don't have to keep buying replacements. You will never need to replace this charger because it is really heavy duty and a fantastic quality. | What can I say about this 18v 16 amp battery turbo charger it’s super fast, very lightweight and easy to carry around I love this product. Without question the best so far I rate this product a Perfect 5 out of 5 stars . Bosch products are always #1 . Thank you !!! | I have never seen such a fast charger ever and I've went through several! When I plugged it in I noticed fans come on which I love because I know it's cooling down , it has the charging meter on the right side letting you know when it's charged at what percentage, and I absolutely love the power boost that gives that battery a fast charge boost when ya need to get a little more done quick after the battery dies, and I'm not talking about like 20% it goes to almost fully charged but last a long time! Also you can connect this to the bosch app as well to check on the status. An awesome charger all around!! | This Bosch turbo boost charger works fast. I was able to recharge in under an hour. This is really convenient for me because sometimes I will need a quick boost charge and this does the job. Definitely recommend. | I got my turbo charger in December 2020 and it’s the only one I use now, and I have every one on the market including the 6-bank chargers. It charges so quickly even without using the turbo boost feature. The Bluetooth diagnostics are cool but I especially like the loud beep to alert you that the battery has reached full charge, I can hear it over most anything on the worksite. |
