Bosch green vs Professional cordless jigsaw

Updated: 21 October 2026

You already own a Bosch 18 V drill, and the jigsaw listing also says 18 V. The pack may still refuse to click on. Green tools in this set take 18V POWER FOR ALL packs. Blue GST tools take Bosch Professional packs and AMPShare. Bosch states that those sockets are not the same, and the split is intentional. Depth, pendulum, and price stay on the [Bosch cordless jigsaw comparison](/hub/power-saws/bosch-cordless-jigsaw). Products Compared used Bosch’s UK AMPShare FAQ, Gardena UK, and the amazon.co.uk review notes on 20 October 2026. There is no lab test.

18 V is the voltage, not the socket

Both families are labelled 18 V. The slide and the coding are not. Bosch’s AMPShare FAQ says Professional packs and chargers are not compatible with POWER FOR ALL. Packs back to 2008 can be AMPShare-compatible with no logo. That stays inside the Professional family. Gardena UK says PBA 18V/45 and PBA 18V/72 are not compatible with Bosch Professional batteries. A 4.0 Ah green pack and a 4.0 Ah ProCORE pack can still fail to seat.

Which of these nine saws take which pack

Six listings are green: EasySaw B09BJZCT9N, UniversalSaw B09B85K6J2 and B09BJXZF46, the PBA-titled row B09PZMFP8C, and AdvancedSaw B0CX9DHH31 and B0CX9C8YWS. They take a POWER FOR ALL pack. A genuinely PBA-coded Gardena pack is that same green socket. It is not a GST battery. Three listings are blue: GST 18V-95 B B0DQV6T1WZ, GST 18V-125 B B0BS9TZZN2, and GST 18V-125 S B0C3VMBCY5. They take GBA 18V, ProCORE18V, and other AMPShare packs. The PBA title stays green. All4One sits inside the green family. It is not a bridge to blue.

What UK buyers already reported

On B09B85K6J2 a Professional drill battery did not fit, and a matching pack and charger cost that buyer about £70. Other reviews on that listing say their Bosch drill batteries did fit, because a green drill and a blue drill both say 18 V. On B0BS9TZZN2 an existing Bosch charger did not fit the GST 18V-125 B. On the GST 18V-95 B, Professional and AMPShare packs did fit. That does not put a green PBA pack on that body. Depth and price stay on the Bosch cordless jigsaw buying guide.

Chargers, logos, and adapters

The charger follows the pack. There is no cross-charge between the families. UK mains are 230 V, and the plug is BS 1363. A missing AMPShare logo is not proof a pack is green. Bosch does not sell an adapter between POWER FOR ALL and Professional. If the pack will not seat, buy the pack that belongs to the saw. The blade change, once it has clicked on, is on how to use a Bosch cordless jigsaw.

Common questions

Does any Bosch 18 V battery fit any Bosch 18 V jigsaw?
No. Green EasySaw, UniversalSaw, and AdvancedSaw bodies take POWER FOR ALL packs. Blue GST bodies take Bosch Professional packs and AMPShare. Bosch’s AMPShare FAQ says the systems are not compatible. A shared 18 V label is the voltage, not the slide. UK reviews in this set already record a Professional drill battery that would not fit a UniversalSaw, and a Bosch charger that would not fit a GST 18V-125 B.
Do older Professional packs without an AMPShare logo still fit a new GST?
Bosch says Professional 18 V packs and chargers back to 2008 are AMPShare-compatible even without the logo. That is inside the Professional family. It does not include POWER FOR ALL packs of a similar age. If the pack is marked PBA, or it lives on a green drill, it is the other system. Seat it gently. If it does not click, it is the wrong family, not a stiff new tool.
Will a Gardena POWER FOR ALL pack fit a green Bosch jigsaw?
A PBA pack coded for POWER FOR ALL is the green socket, so it is the family the EasySaw, UniversalSaw, and AdvancedSaw use. Gardena UK says those PBA packs are not compatible with Bosch Professional batteries, so the same pack will not run a GST. The Alliance FAQ says the two systems will not be merged. Check the pack name before you assume every garden-brand 18 V slide is PBA.
Which of the nine listings are green, and which are blue?
Green: EasySaw B09BJZCT9N, UniversalSaw B09B85K6J2 and B09BJXZF46, the PBA-titled row B09PZMFP8C, and AdvancedSaw B0CX9DHH31 and B0CX9C8YWS. Blue: GST 18V-95 B B0DQV6T1WZ, GST 18V-125 B B0BS9TZZN2, and GST 18V-125 S B0C3VMBCY5. The PBA title is still green. It does not accept a Professional pack, and the pack in the title is not confirmed by every UK review.
What did UK reviewers find when a battery or charger did not fit?
On B09B85K6J2 a Professional drill battery did not fit, and a separate pack and charger cost that buyer about £70. On B09BJXZF46 a buyer who expected any Bosch 18 V drill battery found it did not fit, while green-range packs did. On B0BS9TZZN2 an existing Bosch charger did not fit the GST. On B0DQV6T1WZ, Professional and AMPShare packs did fit. The failures match the family split. They are not a reason to force the pack.
Should you buy an adapter?
No. Bosch does not offer an adapter between POWER FOR ALL and Professional or AMPShare, and the Alliance FAQ says no adapter is offered for old partner batteries. A third-party adapter is not a Bosch part, and this comparison does not recommend one. Buy the pack that matches the saw you have, or the saw that matches the pack you have. Forcing the rails is how contacts bend.
