I will partially agree with your statement. The only ones that I had issues with were the 6.3Ah. Both of mine are now bricks that I refuse to place in recycle. Might just glue them to the underside of a shelf to hang a tool from. All 12 or 13 of my 1.5 and 2.6 are still going strong. Will be interesting to see what this new charger will say about these batteries (if anything). I might have issues with one of my chargers by I don’t like it as it’s the one without a fan so..who cares as I have several others both older and newer. They were only one I didn’t have till a recent purchase of the new rear handle circular saw is saw. As a bonus it’s arriving with the Bluetooth charger and the newer 6.0Ah battery.
Yes, but will it last for more than a year before it stops working? Bosch is great, but the chargers, and batteries have horrible lifetimes. Theres a good warranty, sure, but I'd rather have a better product that can stand the test of time… or at least 200 uses.
