Battery AH Explained
The best way to describe battery amp hour is that this is effectively the size of your fuel tank, the more amp hours your battery has then the longer the battery will last between charges. More amp hours does not increase the power of a given tool.
Battery Voltage Explained
A tool with a higher voltage than another is a bit like choosing an engine in a car, the higher voltage will generally mean higher power & performance. As with cars though a bigger engine does not always translate to better performance so it is important to compare the specifications of tools at different voltages between different manufacturers.
Bosch PowerForAll
The Bosch PowerForAll Tool range is a range of tools you can buy knowing that batteries are compatible with all tools in the range providing they are of the same voltage. eg 18v fits 18v, 12v (10.8v) fits 12v (10.8v) etc. Please also note that 10.8v is compatible with 12v & vice versa as it is just a name change. Indego Lawnmowers also use the PowerForAll 18v battery but require a cover plate to be removed if changing.
PowerForAll has many advantages not least the fact that once you have a tool with a few batteries then there is no need to buy the more expensive versions with battery & charger, you can just go ahead & buy the much cheaper no battery versions!
So remember PowerForAll signifies complete battery compatibility throughout the range. There is however, one caveat to this, some of the very first older chargers will not charge the very latest batteries & a battery charger upgrade will be required if you have a first generation charger. All batteries fit all tools however.
As of 2021 Bosch has licensed PowerForAll to other manufacturers whereby batteries between these manufacturers will be interchangeable.
Important
You cannot use Bosch Pro (Blue) batteries in either 12v or 18v DIY (Green) products.

Product not yet used - was bought for a planned project
Like all the Bosch range I have, this is a handy and agile jigsaw. Having several batteries for different tools this, like them can be used in isolated areas without the need for a power supply. The ease of use with the responsive trigger can be utilised for the most delicate or robust assignments. I would most definitely recommend you add it to your collection.
Straight out of box and ripped a pallet to bits so plenty powerful enough, the variable speed is built in to the trigger so it needs a squeeze action rather than a sudden pull. The various guides and guards make sighting the blade difficult even with the inbuilt light so your markings need a high level of contrast to the material being cut. Really nice to be free from the extension lead, so liberating.
As I already have 18v battery powered Bosch tools, it made sense to stick with the brand. I was not disappointed. Having struggled with a cheap jigsaw, the Bosch jigsaw was a revalation. It is quiet, smooth in operation and the blade follows the precise line you wish to follow, whether a curve or a straight line. My first task was to cut square holes in 18mm ply lining in a narrowboat. This it completed with ease. Similarly, it produced excellent results cutting thin ply for decorative shelving. My only criticism was that there was no option to purchase a carrying case, but as I have an old one I was able to adapt, this was not an issue for me.
Handles nicely; safety latch takes a bit of getting used to; blade change is easy; very useful pointer as part of base plate makes following a line so much easier; useful blade storage in base plate; 4 position pendulum action switch; haven't used it enough to comment on battery life.
Product arrived on time and the kit is first class.
