Why choose this adapter

• Your RIDGID 18V battery and Bosch 18V GBA (Blue) tools run at the same voltage, so the adapter changes the fitting rather than converting anything.
• Injection-moulded ABS, not 3D printed — no layer lines to split under load.
• Solid copper terminals, so less of the current is lost as heat.
• 5 mm² internal wiring, rated for 40A continuous with 80A peak at 18VDC for up to 2 seconds, so a high-draw tool is not held back by the adapter.
• Made for the RIDGID 18V batteries sold at Home Depot, so the fit is the one you already own.
• Covered by a 12-month warranty from the day it arrives.

RIDGID 18V and Bosch 18V GBA (Blue) compatibility

It works in one direction only: RIDGID batteries powering Bosch tools. For the opposite pairing, see adapters that run on Bosch 18V GBA (Blue) batteries.

Compatibility can vary with the exact battery and tool model. Before ordering, confirm that your battery belongs to the RIDGID 18V platform and that your tool takes Bosch 18V GBA (Blue) batteries.

Important charging and safety information

This adapter is for powering cordless tools and nothing else. It cannot charge RIDGID or Bosch batteries and must never be connected to a charger of any kind. Always take the battery out of the adapter before charging, and charge it on the original charger made for your RIDGID 18V battery.
