Bit of a thread revival but as I was on the Bosch site a minute ago I though as I mentioned it before I'd copy a link of the new 6AH battery.
Market leading I think? http://www.bosch-professional.com/gb/en/gb...902-ocs-p/ £131 a piece though. 
Also there is the 36v 6AH professional mower that looks really very good. At nearly £1300 though do it should and I doubt many will purchase at that price. |

We've recently added to our collection with one of these:
http://www.screwfix.com/p/bosch-gsb-1800-1...rill/8160g 67Nm torque, 1*3.0Ah battery, £100 inc vat Ours has done good service drilling masonry and screwing in the last couple of months. Comes with a box, but not one of their locking and stacking boxes. It's still good though. So that's cheaper than the other options you mentioned earlier, more torque and more battery than two of your other options. The battery gauge is quite handy too. |

The battery gauge indeed is.
Anyone know exactly how it works? It has three bars in green doesn't it, I charge on the last bar that starts flashing . Is that pretty much it or more life still left in it? They have no charge memory effect so at least that's not a concern. Regarding the prices above, yes very true. When I bought mine the 5AH last autumn they were around £105 a piece, they are now around £70 - £80. |

Looks good, should last you well.
I've been thinking of selling my green Bosch 1200w plunge router and upgrading to professional blue 1600w. With L Box. They are very expensive though.
What do you guys think a little used 1200 green is worth with all parts, no damage and original box? Think IIRC it was about £220 £280 new. |

You can get a similar Bosch for similar money, either with two 1.5Ah batteries or one 3Ah battery:

Had my makita for years, been really good. This is what won the argument for me.
