Pro-Tip: When charging high-capacity Bosch CORE18V batteries straight out of high-load power tools like rotary hammers or angle grinders, insert them immediately into the GAL18V-160C. The Active Air-Cooling dual fans force ambient air through the internal battery channels to drop cell temperatures rapidly, initiating the 16.0A charge cycle minutes faster than passive chargers.
