Anyone have a way to use the Bosch 12v max batteries in this? I have 10 of those and 5 chargers. I am not opposed to do a modification!!

If you would like to send me a battery I can try it or take pictures of what you would have to do to change

I dont see how it can. The plug in is way different. Although they look alike. Norton

i just ordered it fr 20 bucks! I don't have Makita tools but Dewalt and Porter Cable li ion battery packs. For that price I'll find some way to hook up a battery. Maybe open it up and wire in a 12v car lighter port and attach it to the outside with a clamp. Then modify one of my 12v batteries with a male end car plug. Just use a velcro strap to hold the battery to the vacuum and plug it in.

The original battery that came with the driver is 1.2 or 1.3 Ah battery. The major companies that sell 12v products are always trying to increase the Ah. Bosch now has a 2.0Ah battery. This gives you a little more run time.Some batteries have the Ah stamped on the battery itself, some you have to read the package label. The bottom line is a 12v is a 12v is a 12v. They will all work. Use what came with the driver and then you can upgrade as you need to 2.0. I have never seen a 12volt batter with a 4.0Ah rating. Don't get fooled.

Batteries are fine in my weapon light that I use everyday on duty. The charger however, does not fit the batteries and you can't find any type of return or exchange after the purchase. You're better off buying some other batteries / charger and paying a little more. Or just buy streamlight/surefire batteries in bulk. At least you'll be able to complain to them if the batteries are bad.

The battery has to be the specific size for your particular tool. The charger can be use for different size batteries.

They fixed it for me. I wasn't going to even deal with it because having the extra batteries was a plus, but after posting a negative review they contacted me and ultimately ended up sending the correct charger without requesting the old one back. I was fairly impressed. Hope that helps.

The product that I purchased has 2 Lithium Ion 18v batteries and a charger too. Recharges very quickly compared to the NiCad type batteries and *seems* to last longer. They don't seem to have any limitations as far as when to recharge the batteries (no "memory" like NiCad) and so they can be recharged at anytime. Believe the batteries can be used with other Bosch 18V tools as well.

I did replaced two 3152 batteries with a WS3127. It works fine and will charge with the same charger. I use it in my hedge trimmer and my string trimmer.

Anyone crack one open and see if this is anymore than a transformer and a couple diodes or is it an active charger that dials back the voltage or current when the battery is charged? Thanks. (I know it's only $8, but still wondering)

It is a very good charger, i us it on only one 12v battery currently, but i see no reason why it would not maintain the charge on your batteries as long as they are hooked as a 12v system, i am sure it would be more effective it you did one at a time and cycled them through

I have a factory slow charger and a quick charger with 5 batteries. So swapping out batteries is no issue with my small yard. But if you have no tools already using the 18V B&D;, best go with a newer model with better battery life.

I have the Dewalt 18volt batteries and just found out about a charger that fits them. It's called PoweriSite preorder on Kickstarter. Could be a great accessory when the power is out. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/463425404/powerisite-usb-power-from-your-cordless-tool-batte

Sorry, I'm not familiar with the Bosch 12V Li-Ion battery. Have you tried Batteries Plus? They seem to be a great resource for batteries. I also did a quick Google search for your question and I found this reply. Dremel 875-01 12V Max 1.3ah Li-Ion Battery Scroll down to the second comment.Let me know how it works out for you.Cheers,

I purchased a Unversal Charger from Amazon.com (Velleman 10W Compact Switching DC Power Adapter, model PSSMV1USA / FLAT PLUG) with 8 different changeable DC Plugs. The largest plug (with the hole in it) is TOO SMALL! Errrrr & Frustrated! BTW, the Black & Decker part # for the OEM Charger is UD-0501C, if that helps! Good Luck!

That's the charger I use. That charger seems to give a fuller charge than cheaper chargers or lights that have built in chargers like the JetBeams. I believe it is because of the intelligence built into the charger. It's able to squeeze a bit more juice into the battery. I would recommend both: these batteries and the charger.
