Benefits:

• Compatibility: The AMPShare – Powered by Bosch batteries are compatible with select and newly launching tools in the multi-brand alliance, including the current and future Bosch 18V system.
• Leading Battery Technology: Within the AMPShare System, a range of batteries with CORE18V technology delivers an optimal power-to-weight ratio, high-power performance, and COOLPACK 2.0 heat management technology for longer lifetime compared to AMPShare batteries without this technology.
• Professional Expertise: Created by the expert brands in their respective fields, users can be confident in the AMPShare – Powered by Bosch system when used across applications.
• Save Time, Money & Space: Leveraging AMPShare batteries across applications and tools allows users to save space in their toolbox, as well as time and money through fewer battery and charger purchases.

Nothing will change with the existing 18V Bosch batteries other than the new AmpShare branding. They were already using the new AmpShare batteries.

The platform will begin rolling out to various retailers and distribution partners throughout the U.S. and Canada beginning in June. FEIN users will be able to use the AMPShare battery system on MULTIMASTER 500 and 700 oscillating multitools to start, with additional tools in various categories coming soon. Rothenberger will offer AMPShare compatibility on select battery-powered products including its press tool, bending tool, and vacuum pump in 2024.
