Charge Fast and Faster: Bosch PROFACTOR™ 18V 16-Amp Connected-Ready Turbo Charger
The Bosch GAL18V-160C is the ultimate high-power charging solution for professional tradespeople who cannot afford downtime. As a 16-amp battery turbo charger, it delivers 70% faster charging speeds compared to standard Bosch fast chargers when paired with CORE18V® 8.0 Ah batteries. This industrial-grade charger is engineered to get you back to work in record time, capable of charging a spent CORE18V® 4.0 Ah battery to 50% in just 9 minutes and 80% in 21 minutes. Whether you are managing a high-output jobsite or maintaining a fleet of PROFACTOR™ tools, the GAL18V-160C ensures your high-capacity batteries are always ready for the next task.
Smart technology and thermal management define the GAL18V-160C's superior performance. Featuring Active Air-Cooling, this charger utilizes two internal fans to pull heat away from the battery cells, optimizing charge times while protecting your investment from overheating. For maximum control, the unit is connected-ready, allowing you to link it to your mobile device via a Connectivity Module (sold separately) to monitor battery health, charge levels, and toggle between four distinct charging modes—Standard, Power Boost™, Max Lifetime, and Storage. The five-LED indicator lights provide clear status updates from a distance, making this the most efficient and intelligent charger in the Bosch 18V system.

Pro-Tip: To maximize the overall lifespan of your expensive CORE18V® batteries, use the "Storage Mode" setting via the Bosch app if you don't plan on using your tools for more than a few weeks. This keeps the cells at an ideal voltage level for long-term health rather than leaving them at 100% capacity.
