This is an introduction to the Bosch CORE18V power tool battery platform.

1. POWER TO CHANGE

2. 2
POWER TO PERFORM
THE EVOLUTION OF Li-Ion BATTERIES
INCREASED POWER = INCREASED WEIGHT
7.2V 12V 14.4V 18V 24V 36V 60V
SIZE IS THE
GAME CHANGER
12V: for applications where compactness is
more relevant than power, 14.4V declining
+24V: for specialty tools
Once basic power and runtime requirements are met, users prefer smaller, lighter and
less costly batteries

3. 3
POWER TO PERFORM
COMPETITORS GET MORE FROM
A BATTERY BY:
INCREASING THE
NUMBER OF CELLS
The current competitive approach is
to add more layers of cells; building
a larger, heavier, hotter battery
and creating – USER FRUSTRATION.
MORE CELLS
LARGER BATTERY
MORE WEIGHT
MORE CELLS
LARGER BATTERY
MORE WEIGHT
 You can really only accomplish more power and
runtime in three ways:
 Add more cells
 Enhance cell performance
 Cooling system and advanced
electronics (get more power to the tool
by improving efficiency)

4. 4
POWER TO PERFORM
CORDLESS JOBSITE REQUIREMENTS
Users are demanding solutions that offer power, runtime and
longer life in a compact design
 POWER – to Perform the application at hand
 RUNTIME – how long the battery will last before it needs to
be charged
 LIFETIME – how long the battery will last before it needs to
be replaced
 COMPATIBILITY – one battery platform for all tools
 ERGONOMICS – lightweight and compact for all-day
applications
 FAST CHARGING – how quickly can it be charged
 RELEVANT RANGE – do you have what I need

CORDLESS TECHNOLOGY
Has not been able to make a
cordless jobsite.
Until now

6. POWER TO CHANGE
THE BEST BUILT BATTERY
ON THE PLANET*

POWER TO CHANGE
A REVOLUTION IN CORDLESS
POWER TOOLS IS STARTING
ONE PLATFORM
EVERY TOOL
ANY APPLICATION
Built around CORE18V – the most advanced battery platform on the planet*.
CORE18V provides unleashed POWER and PERFORMANCE
without compromising SIZE or WEIGHT.
*vs Leading Power Tool Competitors

8. POWER TO PERFORM
8Present generation of 18V battery cell (18650) has reached
its performance limit
THE CORE18V SOLUTION
IMPROVED CELL
CHEMISTRY
Advancements in cell technology from
standard density to new higher density
cells
BATTERY
CONSTRUCTION
Welded cell connectors and power rails
increase efficiency for moving current =
MORE POWER; lower inner cell
resistance prevents battery from
overheating
COOLING
SYSTEM
Management of heat generation
& transference of heat away from cells
with patented heat sink design and
removal of airpockets for 135%
