Operation

Starting Operation

Observe the mains voltage! The voltage of the power
supply must correspond with the data given on the name-
plate of the battery charger. Battery chargers marked with
230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
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 2.
Due to the intelligent charging method, the charging condi-
tion 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.
Meaning of the Indication Elements
Flashing Green Battery Charge Indicator 3
The rapid-charging procedure is signalled
by a flashing green battery charge indica-
tor 3.
Bosch Power Tools
During the charging procedure, the three green charge-con-
trol indicators 5 of the battery light up one after the other
and briefly go out. The battery is fully charged when the three
green indicators light up continuously. After approx.
5 minutes after the battery has been fully charged, the three
green indicators go out again.
Note: The rapid-charging procedure is only possible when the
battery temperature is within the allowable charging temper-
ature range, see section "Technical Data".

cally switches to rapid charging.
When the red temperature control indicator 6 lights up
when placing the battery into the charger, the temperature of
the battery is not within the charge-temperature range (see
section "Technical Data"). The battery cannot be charged un-
til after the allowable operating temperature range has been
reached.
