It replaces OEM part numbers BAT013, BAT015, 2 607 335 210, 2 607 335 246, 2 607 335 252, 2 610 995 883, and 2 607 335 160. If your VPE-2 is losing power mid-cut or not holding charge, this is the direct swap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVPE-2 pruning shear compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    These OEM part numbers all share the same 14.4V rail, physical form factor, and connector pinout. Bosch used this battery platform across multiple VPE-2 production runs, so the BMS handshake and cell configuration remain consistent across all listed part numbers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We cycled this pack through repeated cutting loads and monitored the BMS response during motor-start inrush. The protection circuit handled the spike cleanly — no false trips and cell voltage recovery between cuts was within spec.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNi-MH reconditioning on the VPE-2:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    If the shear feels sluggish after a long storage period, run two full discharge-charge cycles before heavy branch work. Ni-MH cells develop voltage depression after extended shelf time, and the charger needs full cycles to reset the capacity baseline correctly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eMotor-start inrush cutoff on the VPE-2 cutting cycle\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eEvery time the VPE-2 blade engages, the motor draws a short inrush current spike well above its steady running draw. On a degraded or cold battery, this spike can hit the BMS overcurrent threshold and trip the protection circuit before the blade completes the cut. A healthy 14.4V Ni-MH pack at full charge handles this spike without dropping rail voltage below the BMS floor. If the tool cuts out on trigger pull rather than mid-cut, the issue is almost always cell voltage — check the resting voltage first and confirm it reads above 13.0V before blaming the charger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eVPE-2 blade slowing and bogging under load on thicker branches\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eIf the shear cuts thin branches cleanly but bogs down or stalls on anything over 20mm, the battery is sagging under sustained load rather than tripping on inrush. Voltage sag in Ni-MH cells increases as the pack ages — the internal resistance climbs and the rail drops under draw. Check the blade terminal contacts on both the tool and the battery for corrosion or oxidation, which multiplies the sag effect. Clean contacts with a dry cloth and confirm the pack reads at least 14.0V at rest — anything below that under load will make thick cuts unreliable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43416083267674,"sku":"BWCS-BSR144PX-1","price":81.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43416083300442,"sku":"BWCS-BSR144PX-2","price":95.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43416083333210,"sku":"BWCS-BSR144PX-3","price":106.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-BSR144PX-1.webp?v=1779760222","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/bosch-vpe-2-replacement-battery-144v-3000mah-ni-mh","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
