Bosch Professional GAL 18V-160 C 18v Battery Charger Inc GCY Bluetooth Module 1600A019S8

Bosch Battery Charger GAL 18 V-160 C & GCY Bluetooth Connectivity Module Chip 1600A019S8

The Bosch Battery Charger GAL 18 V-160 C is the world's first connected charger!

This means that it has added connectivity features unlike any other charger:

• Charging Mode Selection ‒ Select required charging mode that suits you
• Standard Mode - Charging to 80% and afterwards slower charging to not harm the battery (Currently used in all chargers)
• Power Boost Mode - Charging with highest possible current in shortest time (until 50% charge), user info “Battery ready to use” via toolbox app push notification (Fastest way to power a battery)
• Long Life Mode - Charging at reduced voltage and current to maximise/extend battery lifetime. Battery will only be charged to about 90% and charging time will be longer (Will provide more recharge cycles per battery)
• Storage / Transportation Mode - Charging up to 30%/50% for long-term storage to improve battery life
• Charging Info on Current Charging Cycle ‒ Remaining charging time (for Eneracer and ProCORE18V packs) ‒ State of charge in 20%-steps ‒ Diagnostics: Details on warning-light (red LED) e.g. defects/ temperature
• Battery Health Status: ‒ 3 categories (Excellent / Good / Fair) ‒ Actual number of charge cycles (for Eneracer and ProCORE18V packs)
• Charger Settings ‒ Notification to Phone App when battery 50%, 80% and/or 100% charged ‒ Set up beeper

The new 18v World Charging Champion is unbeatably fast and has active air cooling that allows an earlier start of charging when the battery is hot due to the use in a tool. It also allows an faster charging since the heat during the charging process is getting away from the battery. The GCY Module unlocks a host of features using this module on your Bosch Connection Ready Tools. All tools in the Bosch Connectivity system can be conveniently configured and controlled using a single app: the Bosch Toolbox App. This app also provides tradespeople with access to "TrackMyTools", the "Measuring Master App" for documenting measured values, and the existing functions of the Toolbox App such as a measurement camera, a building documentation, a unit converter and the mobile catalogue for professional power tools from Bosch. Requires the Bosch smartphone app and compatible smartphone with Bluetooth.
