Will this one fit?Yes. The colour of the housing or the old cells does not matter. As long as your device has 9.6V and uses the plug connector (BAT001 design), this battery will fit. The modern NiMH technology is compatible with the machine.Do I need a special charger?Mostly not. The standard chargers of this Bosch generation (e.g. AL 60 DV, AL 12 FC) are often multichemistry chargers (NiCd & NiMH). Check the label on your charger. If it only says "NiCd", it may be that the battery does not become fully charged or gets warm – in this case you should supervise charging or consider a universal charger.What are the benefits of upgrading to 2000 mAh?The ampere-hours (mAh) stand for the "tank capacity". An old 1200 mAh battery would run out after approx. 150 screws. This 2000 mAh battery can perhaps manage 250 screws under the same conditions. You work more efficiently and with fewer interruptions.

This is the classic 12 volt plug-in battery (also called "pod style" or "lump battery") for older Bosch power tools. The original batteries were mostly nickel-cadmium (NiCd) cells with low capacity (1.2 Ah to 1.7 Ah) and the notorious memory effect.Today's replacement batteries almost exclusively use the modern NiMH technology (nickel-metal hydride). These are not only more environmentally friendly (no toxic cadmium), but also offer a significantly higher capacity (up to 3,300 mAh), which often gives your old cordless screwdriver twice as much runtime as when new.Highlights at a glance100% Compatible: Replaces all common Bosch 12V plug-in batteries with the part numbers BAT043, BAT045, BAT046, BAT049, BAT120, BAT139 as well as the number 2 607 335 262.NiMH technology (upgrade): In contrast to the old NiCd batteries, these NiMH batteries have no memory effect. You can recharge the battery any time without losing capacity.Enormous power reserve: While old original batteries often only had 1.5 Ah, high-quality replicas today offer 3.0 Ah (3000 mAh) or more. That means you can work much longer before you need the charger again.Fit: Features the typical red or black push buttons on the sides for release and latches cleanly into the pistol grip of the machine.Universally applicable: Fits both the blue series (commercial/professional) as well as the green series (DIY) from Bosch, as long as they use 12V and the plug-in system.Compatible machines (excerpt)This battery gives new life to a wide range of classics:Bosch Blue (Professional): GSR 12 VE-2, GSB 12 VE-2, GLI 12, GSR 12-1, GSR 12-2.Bosch Green (DIY): PSR 12, PSR 12VE-2, PSR 1200, PSR 12-2.Other: Often also fits similar devices from Würth or Skil (please compare visually). Features ModelReplacement battery for Bosch 12V (type BAT043 / BAT120) Original part numbers2 607 335 262, 2 607 335 274, BAT043, BAT045, BAT120 Chemistry**NiMH** (nickel-metal hydride) - Recommended upgrade Voltage12.0 V CapacityTypical **3000 mAh (3.0 Ah)** – Double runtime compared to original (1.4 Ah) Form factorPod-Style / O-Pack (battery block with insertion slot) Compatible models (excerpt)Bosch GSR 12-2, GSR 12 VE-2, PSR 12, GSB 12, PAG 12 Charging noteUsable with original chargers (e.g. AL 12 FC, AL 1411 DV) Special featureNo more memory effect, full compatibility with the old series Connections3 metal contacts on the "tower" (plus, minus, temp sensor) Weight (g)approx. 650 - 700 (noticeably heavier due to higher cell density) FAQs about the Bosch 12V replacement batteryCan I charge NiMH batteries in my old charger?In most cases, yes. The common Bosch chargers from this period (e.g. AL 60 DV, AL 12 FC or AL 15 FC) can charge both NiCd and NiMH. Caution is only advised with very old, very simple "plug-in power supplies" or cheap chargers. If your charger has "NiMH" on the type plate or has intelligent cut-off, it is safe. If the battery is extremely hot after charging, the charger may not switch off in time.My old battery was NiCd, the new one is NiMH. Is that OK?Yes, this is the best upgrade you can make. The machine (the motor) doesn't care about the chemistry, only the voltage (12V). NiMH is more powerful and more robust against capacity loss from incorrect charging.Is this battery also available as Li-Ion (lithium-ion)?Yes and no. There are occasional adapter solutions or modifications, but no direct 12V Li-Ion plug-in batteries that you can just plug into the old NiCd charger. The Li-Ion charging electronics are completely different. Stick with NiMH – it's safe, affordable and proven for these devices.Does the battery fit in the new 12V (10.8V) devices?No. The current Bosch 12V (Professional) devices use small, flat batteries that disappear in the handle ("stick battery"). The BAT043 described here is a large block that hangs from the bottom of the handle ("lump battery"). The systems are not compatible.

This NiMH replacement battery is a powerful upgrade for the heavy 24 volt Bosch hammer drills of the older generation. While the original batteries were often still based on NiCd technology and had lower capacities, this modern nickel metal hydride battery delivers a strong 3,000 mAh (3.0 Ah). What that means for you: Significantly longer run times for chiselling and drilling in concrete, without the annoying memory effect.Highlights at a glanceEnormous power reserve: With 3.0 Ah capacity, this battery easily outperforms many old originals (often only 1.7 Ah or 2.0 Ah). Your hammer drill (e.g. GBH 24 VRE) lasts longer on the construction site.Wide compatibility: Replaces a huge list of original part numbers from Bosch (BAT019, BAT021, 2607335082...) as well as models from Ridgid (34131) and Würth (WA 24V).100% perfect fit: This battery is a large block (slide-on battery) that fits precisely in the mount of the heavy 24V machines.No memory effect: Thanks to NiMH technology, you can recharge the battery in between without losing capacity.Robust construction: At 1.56 kg weight, it matches the solid build required for the balance of heavy hammer drills.Compatible models (extract)This battery is the heart for the classic "Bosch hammers" and some special devices:Bosch Blue (Professional):Hammer drills: GBH 24 V, GBH 24 VRE, GBH 24 VFR, GBH 24 VSRUS models: 11225VSR, 11225VSRHSaws: GSA 24 VE, GKS 24 VRidgid:Press tools: RP-10B (Plumbing installation)Würth:ABH 20-SLE (24V version) Features ModelReplacement battery for Bosch 24V (Heavy Duty) Replaces original no.BAT019, BAT020, BAT021, 2 607 335 082, 2 607 335 216 Chemistry**NiMH** (nickel metal hydride) - Powerful upgrade Voltage24.0 V (High-voltage system) CapacityTypically **3000 mAh (3.0 Ah)** - Lots of endurance for heavy drilling Housing typeSlide block (Large & rectangular) Suitable for (extract)Bosch GBH 24 V, GBH 24 VRE, GBH 24 VFR, BBH 24 VRE Charging informationCompatible with Bosch chargers AL 2411 DV, AL 2422 DC, AL 2450 DV Special featureEnormous power output, but high own weight Dimensions (L x W x H in mm)approx. 130 x 90 x 115 (Depending on housing manufacturer) Weight (g)**approx. 1300 - 1500** (Noticeably heavy!)  FAQs about the Bosch 24V NiMH batteryCan I continue to use my old charger?Yes, in almost all cases. The large Bosch chargers for this 24V series (e.g. AL 2425 DV, AL 2450 DV or AL 2498 FC) are generally designed for NiCd and NiMH. Check the charger's rating plate. Because this battery has 3.0 Ah, charging may take a bit longer than with the old 1.7 Ah battery, but it charges fully.My old battery was a NiCd. Is switching to NiMH a problem?No, it's actually an advantage. The machine (the motor) is fully compatible with NiMH technology. The battery delivers the same voltage (24V), but in a more stable and longer-lasting way. NiMH is also more environmentally friendly (no toxic cadmium).Why is the battery so heavy?That's down to the physics of 24 volts. To achieve this high voltage with NiMH cells, 20 individual cells are built inside (20 x 1.2V = 24V). That totals over 1.5 kg. But the weight also helps dampen the recoil of the hammer drill during impact drilling.

This NiMH replacement battery is specially designed as a high-quality replacement for older 14.4 Volt Bosch power tools. With a capacity of 2,200 mAh, it offers excellent value for money: it delivers significantly more endurance than the original NiCd batteries (often only 1.4 Ah or 1.7 Ah), without being unnecessarily heavy or expensive. Thanks to modern nickel-metal hydride technology, the "memory effect" is a thing of the past – you can recharge the battery at any time.Highlights at a glanceComprehensive compatibility:Replaces a variety of Bosch original battery numbers, including 26156801, 2607335160, 2607335210, 2607335246, 2607335252 and 2607335883.Solid performance (2.2 Ah):With 2,200 mAh, this battery offers a noticeable increase in performance compared to old standard batteries. Ideal for DIY projects where good runtime is desired, but no extreme capacities are required.Modern NiMH technology:Unlike the old NiCd cells (nickel-cadmium), this battery contains no toxic cadmium and does not suffer from the memory effect.

Can I use this one with 2.2 Ah?Yes, absolutely.A higher capacity (milliamp hours/mAh) is like a bigger fuel tank in your car. The battery just lasts longer before it is empty. The voltage (14.4V) stays the same, so there is no risk for your device.Do I need a new charger?Mostly not.If you have an original Bosch charger (e.g. AL 1411 DV, AL 60 DV) suitable for NiMH (often indicated on the back: "NiCd / NiMH"), you can continue to use it. Only very old chargers that are exclusively built for NiCd should be replaced as they might not fully charge or may overheat NiMH batteries.How should I best store this battery?Cool and charged.NiMH batteries have a certain amount of self-discharge. If you do not use the screwdriver for months, fully charge the battery beforehand. Do not store it in the device to avoid deep discharge due to leakage currents.

This battery is the classic 14.4 volt plug-in battery (also called "bulb battery" or "O-Pack") for the widely used older Bosch power tools. Originally, these devices were often supplied with nickel-cadmium (NiCd) batteries, which had a low capacity (usually 1.2 Ah to 1.5 Ah).Today's replacement batteries almost always use the modern NiMH technology (nickel-metal hydride). This offers two decisive advantages: it eliminates the annoying memory effect and increases the capacity enormously (often to 3.0 Ah / 3000 mAh or more), which can more than double the running time of your machine compared to buying a new one at the time.Highlights at a glance100% perfect fit: Replaces all Bosch 14.4V plug-in batteries with the following designations BAT038, BAT040, BAT041, BAT140, BAT159 and the part numbers 2 607 335 264 and 2 607 335 276.NiMH upgrade (no memory effect): You can charge the battery at any time, even when it is still half full. The modern chemistry is more environmentally friendly and longer-lasting than the old NiCd cells.Maximum running time: With typically 3000 mAh (3.0 Ah) you have significantly more energy reserves for long working days. The battery lasts longer and does not collapse so quickly under load.Robust design: Features the tried-and-tested housing with side release buttons (usually red or black) and snaps firmly into the handle of the machine.Wide compatibility: Fits both in the blue Professional series (e.g. GSR 14.4 VE-2) as well as in the green DIY series (e.g. PSR 14.4 VE-2) and various garden tools.Compatible machines (extract)This battery fits dozens of Bosch models.

Almost all Bosch chargers from this era (such as AL 60 DV, AL 1411 DV, AL 1419 DV) are "Multichemie" chargers. Look at the charger's rating plate: If it says "NiCd / NiMH", everything is perfect. As NiMH is somewhat more sensitive to heat, you should remove the battery from very old, simple chargers as soon as it is full (warm).What is the difference between BAT038 and BAT040?There used to be differences in capacity or cell chemistry (BAT038 was often the standard 1.5Ah NiCd, BAT040 the "High Power" NiMH). Mechanically they are identical. Today, this distinction is irrelevant, as modern replacement batteries replace both types and are usually more powerful than both originals combined.Does the battery fit in the new 14.4V Li-Ion devices?No, by no means. Modern Li-Ion devices have small sliding batteries or flat bottom batteries. The BAT038 is a large block that in is pushed into the handle. The systems are mechanically and electrically incompatible.Is it still worth buying for such old machines?Absolute. The old Bosch machines (especially the "Made in Switzerland" or "Made in Germany" models of the blue series) have indestructible metal gears. With a fresh 3.0 Ah battery, these tools often run more powerfully than many cheap new cordless screwdrivers from the DIY store.
