Question 1

If used with dremel 8240, is there an increase in power output?

Accepted Answer

This GBA12V30 battery is designed and used for Bosch 12V power tools only. For further assistance, contact us at 1-877-BOSCH99 (1-877-267-2499) from Mon-Fri 7A-7P CST.

Question 2

Can the 12 volt battery be charged with the 10 volt charher?

Accepted Answer

The 10.8V charger, Yes.  The Bosch 10.8V batteries and the 12V MAX are basically the same. The batteries are both 10.8V batteries but after a charge the “float” voltage will read 12V.  Your 12V MAX battery probably says 12V MAX and 10.8 volts on it.  Most batteries for portable tools are 10.8V or 18V, Dewalt and others started stating the maximum voltage of 12V MAX and 20V MAX for marketing purposes. And Bosch probably thought they had to follow along.

Question 3

Why can’t i fine the bosch battery i need for my mini chainsaw? it’s 12v 230 705/0603 3c9001

Accepted Answer

If this is the Bosch EasyCut it is because Bosch sells a separate green line of tools in the EU that it doesn't sell in the US. Those green tools are the "Home & Garden" tools and use batteries incompatible with the Blue Bosch "pro" line of tools (which is what this GBA battery is for). HOWEVER what you won't find documented anywhere is that the green tools actually use Dremel batteries! The batteries themselves are identical and the chargers are interchangeable. Bosch just snaps a bottom adapter on the battery that makes it fit in only one tool or the other - you can find videos online of people swapping the adapters and see that the battery pack itself as an identical part number in some cases. I don't know why Bosch does this but now you know. If you are looking for a PBA 12 battery go look for the Dremmel 12v Lithium battery. It looks suspiciously like this battery but with a slightly differently shaped bottom plate.

Question 4

Can this battery be used with devices that use the BAT411 battery?

Accepted Answer

The BAT411 works with 10.8 to 12V Bosch Power Tools same goes with the GBA12V-30 version. For further assistance, contact us at 1-877-BOSCH99 (1-877-267-2499) from Mon-Fri 7A-7P CST.
