The battery alliance AmpShare – powered by Bosch is growing. Professional users will soon be able to operate power tools from the brands Aircraft, Cleancraft, and Steinel with any 18V battery by AmpShare. This brings the number of brands in the multi-brand battery alliance up to almost 30. “Our common objective is to offer trade and industry professionals the best and most wide-ranging 18V system, with full compatibility across numerous brands, applications, and countries,” says Henk Becker, President of Bosch Power Tools. To date, professional users can take advantage of more than 200 tools in the AmpShare alliance. By the end of this year, that number is expected to exceed 300. The portfolio includes specialist tools such as battery-powered hydraulic pressing and cutting tools, spotlights, or strapping tools. “With each new manufacturer and each new brand, we are making it easier for users to fill their toolboxes with exactly the tools they need. Each partner brings their own expertise and specialist knowledge to this alliance, thereby enriching the whole portfolio,” Becker says. The goal, he continues, is to offer the right tool and AmpShare battery for every application moving forward, thus saving trades-people money, space, and time.
