Bosch GAL 18V-40 Professional Compact Battery Charger, Black/Red

The Bosch GAL 18V-40 Professional Compact Battery Charger is a dedicated unit for recharging cordless tool batteries. It uses lithium-ion charging technology and is built for use with professional tool systems. The charger supports Bosch Professional 18V System and AMPShare battery packs. A single battery fits into the charging slot at any one time. Charging times increase with the capacity of the connected battery pack.

The unit's small footprint allows it to fit easily on a crowded workbench or in a job site box. It is supplied with a printed user manual in standard sales packaging. No battery is included, so users will need to provide their own compatible pack before use. Power is drawn from a standard mains electrical connection rather than an internal cell. Wall-mounting hardware is included, allowing the charger to be fixed off the workbench to free up surface space.
