Bosch ProCORE18V+ 8.0Ah Professional

I live remote in the NT so thought I would purchase all these new pro core batteries …..I’ve had them a few months I bought 4 8ah and 4 12 ah and they were not cheap …. I bought a brand new Bosch 6 bay charger so far only 1 battery still works an 8 ah …. Some have charge but won’t work and some won’t charge but have a few bars …I’m using my old batteries which keep going but don’t run for as long as they used to … I’m not happy they were really expensive I’ve had all Bosch power tools my whole working life from 18 and I’m 39 now …..never let me down till now ….im that wild about it I think I’m going to have to change brands I can’t keep buying batteries …. I was Bosch for life it’s a sad time I don’t think these new batteries can handle the NT weather which is such a shame … well I hope someone from Bosch reads this and reaches out I’ve had hundreds of debates with other tradesman over the years I never backed down I was there for them every time i proved and proved how good your cordless power tool selection is never once let me down till now …..I don’t want to leave the Bosch family but I think I’m going to have to…If you read this Bosch please help I work for cairns industries in Borroloola in the NT 0854 10 foster court …. once a few more batteries go our relationship will to please don’t let it ……I’m not into Makita or Milwaukee … Hilti maybe don’t make me choose

After doing much research I discovered the new Tabless battery technology has been used by a few tool companies as a way of increasing the useability of some of the heavy-duty cordless tools. I have just posted a review of my Bosch pole hedger and while it is great, the battery life and the available power was an issue that was solved by the Procore plus battery. It is not a light as I was hoping but the linear power delivery makes up for that and it literally lasts forever.
