BoschGREEN STARTER-SET 18 V

Excellent, used as an additional battery for vacuum cleaner. Works perfectly and longer lasting than original

Needed a spare for the lawnmower due to large area of garden to be covered. Works perfectly.

Good battery set. Charges quick and holds the charge, fits multiple tools. Can be a little tricky to remove from tools.

Have had the Bosch Unlimited 7 vacuum cleaner for just over a month now (great vac) and it came with 2 3.0 Ah batteries. Perfectly fine, and they can be readily swapped to complete a full clean of the house, on Eco mode. They recharge in about 40 mins - which is fine too. However - the extra 1.0 Ah means that a mid-clean battery swap is no longer required (for the daily clean) and leaves the 3 Ah batteries in reserve for a deep clean and the additional (maybe unexpected) things like the cars or helping out old relatives. No more monitoring of the charge LEDs. Daily clean can now complete in Auto mode with one bar left..Note that this battery is about 25% heavier than the smaller varieties (and about 20% larger), so if you already struggle with the total appliance weight then I recommend that you put up with the slight inconvenience of swapping batteries. Also, the recharge time is obviously 30% longer.Is it worth the cost? Well - that's subjective, and dependent on whether you already have appliances that can share the battery. I don't - all my heavy battery stuff is Makita (and won't be changing). BUT - yes - I'm happy with the purchase.

It has a wider base, so that the little drill I have is more stable, when I stand up the drill on the battery.The battery... at least this size, has its own 3 4 LEDs to show how much charge is in it, at least in this size.The button to release the battery is much easier than the slide around clip on the old model. This is especially important on the hedge trimmer that I have. The old battery is really awkward to remove. The motion that you need to do to trigger the release is somehow still pushing the battery on to the trimmer, so it's just awkward. The button on the new battery is easy to press, whilst pulling the battery free of the trimmer.Time will tell about longevity, but the old batteries are still going strong, and batteries are one area of tech that seems to still be improving; so I'm optimistic.

Expensive but fits the bill.

No idea why people return this batt A LOT This is my 6TH 2.5 Batt and THE BEST ONE OF ALL SIX BATTS....AS this batt has a BUILT IN Charge indicator on it..... 10/10 in my eyes... THE only difference is it comes in a different colour box Than the one listed on site... THIS batt works with all PBA 18VGreen machines and is at its cheapest ever of £29.99 my other 5 batts have no charge indicators on them and cost £34.99 Each

Expensive but great quality
