Have you seen AMPShare Alliance [1]? It's a common 18-volt battery tool platform with many partners.

Mostly industrial/professional tools so far but I hope it will continue to grow. Yes, I have Bosch stuff. :)

There is also the Cordless Alliance System[1]. The problem they are all small players except Bosch. Once two of the big players (Bosch, Makita, Milwaukee, Dewalt, etc.) start sharing batteries hen it will make a difference. Bosch don't even share batteries between their blue and green lineup.

haha, TTI doesnt even share batteries between its own brands, and you expect manufacturers to adopt same standard? :D
