Safety Notes

▶ Only charge Bosch lithium-ion batteries. The battery voltage must match the battery charging voltage of the charger. Otherwise there is danger of fire and explosion.
▶ Keep the battery charger clean.
Contamination can lead to danger of an electric shock.

▶ Before each use, check the battery charger, cable and plug. If damage is detected, do not use the battery charger. Never open the battery charger yourself. Have repairs performed only by a qualified technician and only using original spare parts. Damaged battery chargers, cables and plugs increase the risk of an electric shock.

▶ Do not operate the battery charger on easily inflammable surfaces (e. g., paper, textiles, etc.) or surroundings. The heating of the battery charger during the charging process can pose a fire hazard.
▶ In case of damage and improper use of the battery, vapours may be emitted. Ventilate the area and seek medical help in case of complaints. The vapours can irritate the respiratory system.
▶ Supervise children during use, cleaning and maintenance. This will ensure that children do not play with the charger.

Operation

Starting Operation

Observe the mains voltage! The voltage of the power source must correspond with the data on the type plate of the battery charger.

Insert the battery until the locking mechanism clicks. To remove the battery, operate locking lever first.

Charging Procedure

The charging procedure starts as soon as the mains plug of the battery charger is plugged into the socket outlet and the battery 1 is inserted into the charging compartment 5.

Due to the intelligent charging method, the charging condition of the battery is automatically detected and the battery is charged with the optimum charging current, depending on battery temperature and voltage.

This gives longer life to the battery and always leaves it fully charged when kept in the charger for storage.

English|9

Note: The charging procedure is only possible when the battery temperature is within the allowable charging temperature range, see "Technical Data" section.

Meaning of the Indication Elements

Flashing Green Battery Charge Indicator 3

The rapid-charging procedure is indicated by flashing of the green charge control LED.

Note: The rapid-charging procedure is only possible when the battery temperature is within the allowable charging temperature range, see section "Technical Data".

Continuous Lighting of the Green Battery Charge Indicator 3

Continuous lighting of the green battery charge indicator 3 indicates that the battery is fully charged.

Afterwards, the battery can be re-

moved for immediate use.

With no battery inserted, continuous lighting of the green charge control LED indicates that the mains plug is plugged into the socket and that the battery charger is ready for operation.

Continuous Lighting of the Red Battery Charge Indicator 2

Continuous lighting of the red LED indicates that the battery temperature is not within the rapid-charging temperature range of 0 °C – 45 °C. As soon as the allowable temperature range is

reached, the battery charger automatically switches to rapid charging.

Flashing Red Battery Charge Indicator 2

If a different malfunction of the charging procedure is present, this will be indicated through flashing of the red charge control LED.

The charging procedure cannot be started and the battery cannot be charged (see section "Troubleshooting").

Charging Advice

With continuous or several repetitive charging cycles without interruption, the charger can warm up. This is not meaningful and does not indicate a technical defect of the battery charger.

A significantly reduced working period after charging indicates that the battery is used and must be replaced.

Observe the notes for disposal.
