It slots into the same battery bay and connects to the same terminal block as the original pack. Fits the ABS 96 M-2, ASB 96 P-2, GBB 9.6VES-1, GBM 9.6 VSP-2, and over 30 additional Bosch 9.6V platform models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e9.6V Bosch platform compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    These models share a common 9.6V rail, identical terminal layout, and the same mechanical latch geometry. The battery's cell count and BMS communication protocol match what the original charger and tool expect — no recalibration needed after swap.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We ran this pack through repeated trigger-pull cycles on a GBM 9.6 VSP-2 to observe BMS response at inrush. The protection circuit held through motor-start spikes without tripping, and cell temperatures stayed within Ni-MH safe operating range across a full discharge cycle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBreak-in procedure for Ni-MH cells:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    Run the drill at half load — light fastening, no clutch engagement — for the first two full cycles. This lets the cells equalise charge distribution before you hit them with maximum torque pulls. Skipping this shortens usable cell life faster than any other single factor on Ni-MH packs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eWhy the ABS 96 M-2 cuts out dead on the first hard trigger pull\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eNi-MH cells at partial charge have a lower instantaneous current ceiling than a fully topped pack. When the drill motor starts from rest, it pulls a spike — sometimes three to four times the running current — in the first milliseconds. If the BMS sees this spike exceed its overcurrent threshold, it trips and disconnects the pack instantly. The tool feels like it died. Reset the pack by releasing the trigger fully for five seconds, then re-engage slowly. If the trip repeats, charge the pack to full before continuing work — the overcurrent headroom is narrower on a depleted Ni-MH cell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eCharger LED stays solid red and never advances on a new pack\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eNi-MH chargers use a minimum acceptance voltage check before they start the charge cycle. A pack that sat in storage can drop below this threshold — often under 7V on a 9.6V nominal pack — and the charger reads it as a fault rather than a dischargeable cell. This is not a dead battery. Remove the pack, wait 30 seconds, and re-seat it firmly so all terminals make clean contact. If the charger still rejects it, check resting voltage across the terminals with a multimeter — anything above 6V means the cells are recoverable; re-seat and retry. If voltage reads below 5V, the cells have deep-discharged beyond recovery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43416069210202,"sku":"BWCS-BST974PW-1","price":76.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43416069242970,"sku":"BWCS-BST974PW-2","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43416069275738,"sku":"BWCS-BST974PW-3","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-BST974PW-1.webp?v=1779760040","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/bosch-abs-96-m-2-replacement-battery-96v-2100mah-ni-mh","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
