Bosch has become the world’s first manufacturer to bring the benefits of tabless technology in battery cells to 18V batteries for cordless power tools. The ProCore18V+ with 8.0 Ah increases the runtime of Bosch’s high-performance ProCore18V battery series even further, giving trade and industry professionals yet another efficiency boost. The new ProCore18V+ with 8.0 Ah increases runtime for up to 71 percent compared to the previous ProCore18V battery at the same capacity. The longer runtime pays off for professional users, especially when performing demanding tasks with Biturbo tools, Bosch’s most powerful cordless products. For example, when drilling large diameters with the GBH 18V-45 C Professional rotary hammer or when sawing large cutting depths with the GCM 18V-305 GDC Professional miter saw. Compared to its counterpart featuring conventional battery cells, the ProCore18V+ has the same compact form factor and weight, and, thanks to CoolPack technology, offers effective and unrivalled heat dissipation. What’s more, the ProCore18V+ is compatible with all Professional 18V System tools as well as products from additional partners in the multi-brand AmpShare battery alliance.
The Robert Bosch Power Tools GmbH, a division of the Bosch Group, is one of the world’s leading providers for power tools, garden tools, power tool accessories and measuring tools. In 2024, its 18,700 associates generated sales* of 5.1 billion euros, about 90 percent of which outside of Germany.

In 2025, Bosch Power Tools will again launch more than 100 new products onto the market in its four business segments power tools, outdoor and garden tools, accessories and measuring tools.
Due to a change in the allocation of sales within the Bosch Group, certain revenues from Bosch Power Tools will be accounted for differently in the future. As a result, sales in this division appear to have fallen significantly compared to the previous year, although there was no actual change in economic performance in this regard.
