The mid speed charger (I think it's the 6?) It would last around 7-10 months. They were tired of sending me replacements and just sent the fast chargers instead (which lasts up to 18ish months)
The problem is the fuses they use in the chargers. They just don't last.
As far as 18v battery ... they are awesome batteries, but their loss of capacity is ridiculous. I'm not sure what the culprit is. Perhaps the tools pull too fast and too hard? I really can't figure it out (I'm not electrical in any way.) But no matter the tool, the batteries will drop to 50% max holding charge after 24-36 months.
The good news... Bosch gets you a replacement fast.
