Bosch Genuine 14.4V (1.5Ah) Pod Style Battery (Version to Fit: BOSCH Cordless AHS 41 Accu Hedgecutter and Cordless AHS 52 Accu Hedgecutter) c/w Stanley KeyTape (Image Shown)

Product Information

Bosch offers an impressive solution for this in two versions with the new hedgecutters AHS 41 Accu and AHS 52 Accu: the machines have different cutter lengths of 41 or 52 centimetres and both work with a powerful 14. That means twice as much hedge cut on a single charge, the link to this extended version of the battery will be further below or select as an easy upgrade above.

Brand new product, complete with all accessories, that has been repacked in a plain box as the retail box was damaged. If indeed the hedge strimmer is dormant for long periods, then you should charge the battery every ten weeks, so it does not lose any energy. If larger hedges have to be cut, a second battery provides assistance: it comes as standard with the larger version (AHS 52 Accu). As the cutters weren't as sharp as they used to be, I didn't feel inclined to splash the cash on that old machine and bought a new one instead.

You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. I've just staggered in after a marathon hedge session and it occurred to me that it really is one of the few products I would never like to be without ever, ever again. Here come the tips - spray the blades with that multi-use product spray to prevent rust; and the higher above the hedge you are, the easier and less strenuous it is to use the trimmer and get the hedge level. There is a number of chargers that Bosch supply, the better ones make it easy as the lights indicate its state of charge, others do not.

This information does not usually identify you, but it does help companies to learn how their users are interacting with the site. If not being used power tool batteries should be charged every 6 weeks, and that's if they were put away fully charged. Despite having a battery attached to it it is lighter than my corded one and also its blades are sharp. I need not have worried; this little beauty sliced through all of it without a pause, and 45 minutes later, was still going strong! In 35 years of gardening, I've been there, done that and got the Fruit Of The Loom with countless cheap mains-powered hedge trimmers.

With a 41cm blade length, 15mm tooth spacing and laser cut, ‘diamond ground’ blades, the AHS 41 Accu gives you a precise cut every time. Comes complete with the innovative Bosch “anti-blocking system” which prevents virtually all chance of stalling. If the capacity (Ah) of the battery is higher than the capacity of the original battery it will enable a longer life expectancy.
