Loss of productivity through flat batteries could be a thing of the past, thanks to the Wireless Charging System from Bosch. The technology uses inductive energy transfer to keep cordless tools power-ready, similar to the way contactless toothbrush charging stations work.
Whenever the tool is not being used, it should be placed on the charging unit in the user’s work station. Tools can be left on the charger indefinitely or placed there for just a few minutes at a time between jobs.
One of the benefits of this system is that jobs are never interrupted or delayed by lack of charge or the search for a charged-up replacement battery. Savings are also made on battery costs, as only one is needed for the tool. The expense of repairing or replacing equipment damaged by water and dust is also avoided, as there are no electrical contact points.
The smart system detects the battery state and selects the optimum charging mode so there is no risk of overcharging. CoolPack technology improves heat dissipation and extends the battery’s lifetime. Further flexibility results from the system’s compatibility with all 18V Bosch power tools including drill/drivers, multi-cutters, rotary hammers, impact drivers and combis.
