Bosch GBH 24volt hammer drill

[Toneyz]

I have a Boch GBH 24v 3Ah hammer drill that I considered a good bit of kit sadly the batteries have died but I still want to use it the batteries were the old NiMH new batteries are now Lithium ones. Bosch doesn't supply the batteries now however there are unbranded ones on eBay but am dubious of buying and will they last? Any recommendations would be appreciated ie. is there any online suppliers.

I think you can buy the seperate cells and replace them , the battery is basically full of rechargable C type batteries, I took two of mine apart tested the cells individually, and used the best ones to make one good batteries, it was tricky though and you need a good soldering iron , trouble is I hardly use the drill and now that battery does not last long either.

Bosch does not sell them anymore and the ones on Amazon are unbranded ones as eBay which how do I know are any good or as good as the originals.

They are only 30 quid and carry 12 months warranty so they can't be that bad....

I can see that. Is there an online supplier that you have used and recommend. I would rather get from a company that is traceable.

Don't use ebay but have had some dodgy stuff off Amazon, good things is there returns policy is spot on and never had a problem sending dodgy stuff back .

The only reason that I ask is I am not one for getting a lot of things online.
