Are Bosch blue (Professional) and green (Home/Power for All) 18V batteries interchangeable?

Updated: June 15, 2026 | Garage Almanac

The Short Answer

No. Bosch blue Professional (BAT6xx) and Bosch green DIY 'Power for All' (PBA) are different 18V batteries and do not fit each other's tools.

Both are nominally 18V but use different housings and tool interfaces. Within each line all packs interchange (e.g. any blue Pro pack including ProCORE runs any blue Pro tool). Third-party adapters exist to bridge DeWalt/Milwaukee batteries to one Bosch line or the other, so confirm WHICH Bosch line your tool is before buying an adapter.
