Bosch have come out fighting with 5ah batteries soon to be released and charging without contacts soon they seem to be on the attack and out to prove a point.
That’s good to hear they have been kinda quiet the past few years. They were pretty late on the brushless bandwagon.
Apparently soon you will just rest the battery or the tool complete with battery on some kind of plate and it will charge 🙂
That would be freakin’ awesome. No more big chunk ‘o plastic taking up,valuable shelf room!
The only thing is inductive charging is slower than the old direct connection from what I have seen. I will admit it is pretty convenient.
With this type of charging do you think this will have to be another type of battery altogether for the Bosch’ or is it something Bosh is making for their entire line?
Im excited for that tech for my phone…but its probably kinda slow to charge
I think as with a lot of the new technology, that it’s great to have somewhere like the Forum to get the truth about products before you put down your hard earned on them.

Yeah it has to be a new battery. They need magnetic field coils and circuitry for inductive charging.
