Metabo ASC 145 and ASC 55 share the slide-on/CAS family. ASC 145 has a higher maximum current and less carrying weight.
Exact battery compatibility comes first. Maximum current depends on the battery and cannot promise charge time.

With no preferences selected: 12V Max Lithium-Ion Battery Charger (GAL12V-20) is one option to compare.
If you choose Bosch 12V Max and 18V AMPShare for battery family, the first option with a product link becomes 12V/18V Multi-Voltage Fast Charger (GAL12V/18V-80).
Your choices are compared with each model’s product details. A missing or conflicting value stays unknown and cannot satisfy a choice you select. The starting order helps you browse; it does not rate real-world performance.

Combined battery families are separate selector choices
The Bosch 12V/18V Multi-Voltage Fast Charger belongs to the combined Bosch battery-family group. Selecting the individual Bosch family label does not include the combined group: the selector matches the full text. Read the full family description before narrowing by current or weight.
Metabo, Bosch and DEWALT appear among these 10 chargers. A shared voltage number does not make their battery connections interchangeable, and the comparison does not extend compatibility beyond each maker's stated battery models.
Maximum amperage is not a recharge-time forecast
Maker maximum charge currents run from 4 to 16 A where known. The Bosch 12V/18V Multi-Voltage Fast Charger has an 8 A maximum and weighs 816.47 g. Those values distinguish its rating and carrying weight, without a battery-charging trial or an inferred recharge time.
Weights are available for 8 products and span 272.16 to 1814.37 g. Unknown current or weight values can drop a charger out when those controls are set. A high maximum current does not tell you the current delivered throughout charging; use the maker's instructions for the exact battery and charger pairing.
Before you buy
Does the maximum current establish charging speed?
Temperature, battery compatibility, state of charge and controls affect the rate. ASC 55 gives 3 / 4 A and the table uses the upper value. Some multi-bay chargers fill sequentially. Their maximum currents are 8 A and 4 A, at 549.98 g and 581.17 g. Use your battery’s compatible charger. ASC 145 suits consideration for the higher maximum with less carrying weight. Exact battery compatibility comes first; maximum current depends on the battery and cannot promise charge time.
Why is Bosch GAL18V-160’s weight unknown?
The maker’s weight descriptions conflict, so its weight stays unknown. Bosch GAL12V-20 and GAL12V-40 also lack comparable current figures. Missing values are not borrowed from another charger.
Can equal voltage establish cross-brand compatibility?
CAS and AMPShare are separate systems. Cross-brand support needs the maker’s explicit platform guidance; equal voltage alone cannot establish compatibility. Match the exact charger and battery before ordering.
