Bosch Professional 1600A016GB ProCORE GBA 18V 4.0Ah Battery

If you use Bosch Professional 18V tools intensively, yes. The ProCORE 4.0Ah doubles runtime, provides higher sustained power under load, and is rated for significantly more charge cycles. For occasional DIY use, the 2.0Ah offers better value-to-weight ratio. The ProCORE pays off faster for contractors and trade professionals.

Avoid storing the battery fully depleted or at 100% charge for extended periods. Aim for 30–80% charge during storage. Use the GAL 18V-40 charger which monitors cell temperature and adjusts charging rate accordingly. Keep the battery out of direct sunlight and heat during storage.

No. The ProCORE 18V 4.0Ah is exclusively designed for Bosch Professional (blue) 18V tools. Bosch Home & Garden tools use a separate 18V system with different connector chemistry and management protocols and are not cross-compatible.

Yes. Bosch Professional batteries purchased through authorised retailers in the UAE include a 2-year manufacturer warranty. The battery's onboard Battery Management System (BMS) protects cells from overcharge, deep discharge, and overheating — ensuring warranty conditions are maintained under normal use.

Very much so. In ambient temperatures above 35°C (common on UAE construction sites), battery cells degrade faster and are prone to thermal shutdown. COOLPACK 2.0 uses enlarged cooling ribs and airtight cell sealing to dissipate heat and maintain performance, extending battery life significantly under harsh Gulf conditions.

The ProCORE delivers the greatest advantage in high-current-draw tools: Bosch GWS 2200-180 Angle Grinder (SKU 44065-NOS), Bosch GBH 180-LI Cordless Rotary Hammer (SKU 29109-NOS), Bosch GSA 18V-LI Reciprocating Saw (SKU 15939-NOS), and Bosch GSB 180-LI Combi Drill (SKU 44049-NOS). All are sold on Fepy.

The ProCORE 4.0Ah has double the capacity (72 Wh vs 36 Wh), newer cell chemistry for higher peak power, and COOLPACK 2.0 thermal management. For high-demand tools (grinders, rotary hammers, reciprocating saws), the ProCORE is clearly superior. For light drills and blowers, the 2.0Ah is lighter and cheaper.

Using the GAL 18V-40 fast charger (SKU 11576-NOS on Fepy at https://fepy.com/bosch-professional-gal-18v-40-1600a019rk-18v-4-0ah-battery-charger), a ProCORE 4.0Ah battery charges in approximately 65 minutes. With the basic GAL 18V-20 charger, expect around 80–90 minutes.

Yes. The ProCORE 1600A016GB is fully backward-compatible with all Bosch Professional 18V tools — whether the tool is 5 years old or brand new. It is part of the Bosch Flexible Power System, which guarantees cross-compatibility across the entire 18V blue-range lineup sold on Fepy.

Voltage: 18 V | Capacity: 4.0 Ah | Cell technology: 21700 lithium-ion | Thermal protection: COOLPACK 2.0 | Energy: 72 Wh | Weight: approx. 560 g | Charging: compatible with all Bosch Professional 18V chargers including GAL 18V-40 and GAL 18V-20.

The ProCORE 1600A016GB uses next-generation 21700 lithium cells with COOLPACK 2.0 thermal management, delivering +87% more power and 135% longer cycle life compared to older cells. It also maintains constant power output under full load — critical for demanding tools like angle grinders and rotary hammers.

The Bosch 1600A016GB ProCORE GBA is an 18V lithium‑ion battery with 4.0Ah capacity designed to power Bosch 18V Professional tools. It delivers high performance, long runtime, and durable construction for tough job sites, helping you complete tasks efficiently with consistent power.

Yes. Follow standard lithium-ion safety guidelines: avoid exposing the battery to extreme temperatures, moisture, or physical damage; use only compatible Bosch chargers; store in a cool, dry place; inspect for damage before use; and dispose of or recycle according to local regulations. The battery includes protective features such as cold protection and heat management to help maintain safe operation.

This 4.0Ah battery suits professional contractors and DIY enthusiasts performing mid- to heavy-duty tasks on multiple tools, such as drilling, driving, and cutting, where reliable power and reasonable weight matter. It’s a versatile choice for builders, electricians, carpenters, and general trades that rely on Bosch’s 18V tools.
