GAL 18V-40 Fast Charger
The Bosch GAL 18V-40 Charger delivers a 4.0-ampere charging current to ensure rapid replenishment of power for professional lithium-ion batteries. This unit supports the full range of 18V batteries within the Bosch Professional ecosystem. It utilizes a multi-voltage circuit that also accommodates 14.4V power packs, providing flexibility for mixed-fleet tool kits on the job site.
Built for the Job
Contractors and electricians requiring high-uptime performance rely on this charging unit to maintain a steady rotation of power packs. The 4.0A output allows a 2.0 Ah battery to reach 80% capacity in approximately 24 minutes, while a 4.0 Ah battery reaches the same level in 48 minutes. This speed minimizes downtime during intensive applications like repetitive drilling or heavy-duty grinding. The housing includes integrated mounting points, allowing site supervisors to secure the unit to workshop walls or mobile tool trailers to save bench space and prevent accidental drops.
