R3 Parts in practice

5/5

At least half of key modules orderable for a model in the category launched 5+ years ago, including the battery

Bosch's own Spanish spare-parts shop (boschtoolservice.com/es, EUR, add-to-cart) lists in-stock parts for the 2018 Indego 350 Connect: battery kit, blades, blade holder, drive wheel, drive motor, motor unit (cutting), charging base plate, PCB, and a cover/shell part (chassis cartable but out of stock; 'Revestimiento' in stock). 9 of 9 applicable modules (positioning module N/A: boundary wire). Identical list for the Indego 400 Connect.
