    I have a (blue professional) Bosch cordless drill w/ an 18V battery that's a GBA model, it came with an 18V charger too. I'm looking at a (green DIY) Bosch cordless random orbit sander that wants a PBA battery but also the same family of 18V charger. (https://cpcireland.farnell.com/bosch/advancedorbit-18-bare-tool/18v-random-orbit-sander-bare-unit/dp/TL20554)

    Are they compatible with each other or what's the story? Impossible to find PBA vs. GBA info online....

    That's for the 12V battery (round one), these are the more cuboid chunky packs that are 18V
