Lithium-ion power tool battery and charger kit Bosch 18 V EXBA18V-40 + GAL 12V/18V-80 (1600A0373J)

Kit contains two Bosch EXBA18V-40 18 V lithium-ion tool batteries and a GAL 12V/18V-80 charger. The batteries are designed to power Bosch 18 V tools and the charger accepts both 12 V and 18 V battery types, enabling on-site recharging and continuous workflow. This combination provides spare capacity and a compatible charging solution for renovation, construction and professional DIY tasks that require reliable cordless power and shorter downtime between uses.

Advantages

The EXBA18V-40 batteries deliver stable voltage and consistent runtime across common 18 V Bosch tools, while lithium-ion chemistry minimizes memory effect and self-discharge for extended shelf life. The GAL 12V/18V-80 charger supports efficient charging of both 12 V and 18 V batteries, with built-in monitoring to protect against overcharging and overheating. Together they reduce interruptions on site by providing a second battery ready for immediate replacement and a charger capable of handling mixed battery voltages.

Suitable for

• Renovation and remodeling work where continuous power is needed
• Construction tasks such as drilling, fastening and cutting with cordless tools
• Professional DIY and maintenance jobs requiring quick battery swaps
• Tradesmen and technicians who use both 12 V and 18 V Bosch tools

Key specifications

• Battery type: lithium-ion
• Battery nominal voltage: 18 V
• Battery capacity class: medium-capacity tool batteries (EXBA18V-40)
• Charger compatibility: accepts 12 V and 18 V Bosch batteries
• Charging behaviour: monitored charging with thermal and overcharge protection
• Intended use: cordless power for handheld power tools

How to use

Install the battery into the compatible Bosch tool until it clicks into place. To charge, place the battery into the GAL 12V/18V-80 charger following the charger’s insertion guide and connect the charger to a mains outlet. Allow the charger to complete its monitored cycle before removing the battery to ensure full capacity and battery protection. Keep a charged spare battery available to minimize downtime by swapping batteries when one is discharged.

Usage recommendations

Store batteries in a cool, dry place and avoid prolonged exposure to temperatures outside the manufacturer’s recommended range. For longest service life, charge batteries after use rather than leaving them fully discharged for extended periods. Use the GAL 12V/18V-80 charger for mixed-voltage fleets of Bosch batteries to simplify logistics and reduce the number of chargers on site.
