Bosch GBA 12v 2.0Ah battery pack - Datasheet
« on: April 03, 2022, 09:48:28 am »
Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a datasheet for the Bosch 12V 2.0Ah 3S Li-Ion battery pack.

Specifically I'm interested in what kind of protective functions are implemented on the internal PCB, their thresholds and what exact action is taken when they are crossed:

overcurrent (peak charge / discharge value)
overvoltage
undervoltag (discharge cut off threshold)
overtemperature

On Aliexpress you can buy knockoffs of the plastic parts and PCB w/o the cells that go by the name BAT411, BAT412A, BAT413A BAT420 and similar. But I can't seem to find a circuit diagram. Has anyone ever reverse engineered the PCB of either the original or knockoff units?

I want to design some portable appliances around this pack (LED-flashlight, USB-powerbank, bar-graph charge indicator, etc.) and would like to know how much additional effort it takes in order not to fry or unnecessarily deteriorate these packs.

These parameters are easily determined experimentally.
A piece of nichrome coil, a 12V light bulb and a simple multimeter.
Or do you not have the original battery?

I bought into the Bosch system, so I actually have several. But rn I'm still too cheap to risk destroying one before knowing exactly what is and isn't implemented.

For example iirc the Makita LXT 18V system has a micro controller in every pack, which monitors and counts hazardous events (overtemp, imbalance and such). If it detects too many events, it prevents you from recharging w/ an OEM-charger. They also have non-resetable fuse links.

I don't think, the Bosch system is that complex. But if someone already did all the legwork or has access to OEM-data, I'd love to benefit from that.
