This cable connects to the IXO device via a USB port located on the base of the screwdriver’s pistol style grip handle. When charging is required, this will be carried out via the supplied cable and 3-pin power plug combination.īosch recommends that you should use the supplied cable for this purpose as it has been specifically designed for use with the Lithium-ion battery incorporated into the screwdriver.

Power for the device comes from a built-in Lithium-ion 3.6V battery with a capacity of 1.5Ah. Sitting comfortable in the hand when in use, with a reassuring weight of 0.3 kg, the screwdriver unit features a pistol-style grip and has an outer casing that is made up of green, black, matte silver and orange sections.
