Comments about Bosch 18V BLUECORE 2.4 Ah Battery:
I am still on my original batteries after 5-6 years. These Bosch tools are the first cordless tools I've owned that have lasted more than 1-2 years. Like another reviewer mentioned, I am not looking forward to replacing my whole line of tools that use this battery once it is no longer available.

Comments about Bosch 18V BLUECORE 2.4 Ah Battery:
I registered all my Bosh tools with the Pro- Advantage Program. That's How I got my 1st Blue- Core battery free for signing up. It did last longer holding a charge. So I bought 2 more, then a add-on kit with 2 more. Bosh replaced a Bluecore battery free with a phone call. So it pays to sign up for the free program. My tools sit for the winter months Dec - Mar, then see heavy use till next Dec. yet the Bluecore lasted 3-4 yrs. My original 6pc kit is over 5yrs old.

Comments about Bosch 18V BLUECORE 2.4 Ah Battery:
I am a professional Wiring contractor in Northern California and some would say that I am a tool freak! I have owned all the major brand power tools. I purchased the Complete 18 volt Cordless tool set and Radio for me and one of my crew plus extra batteries. I only have one battery that holds a charge after a year of professional use. The tools and radio work great and are very good quality but the batteries are not! I don't know about the Blue core, But I don't think I should have to purchase new batteries! I already have too much invested. Bosch "not" Built for life!

Comments about Bosch 18V BLUECORE 2.4 Ah Battery:
I have several Bosch tools that take this battery, and I'm concerned about availability in the future. I don't want to be forced to replace tools that work very well just because I can't find batteries. Someone needs to invent an adapter that allows you to run battery tools on 110.
I like the smaller, 10.8/12v Bosch tools too, very nice, and more power than I thought they would have.
