5.1 BATTERY CHARGER

The mains supply must comply with the speciﬁ cati-

ons on the rating plate (Fig. 5).

The battery charger is suitable only for charging

batteries from the Bosch range of tools (NiCd/

NiMH) with voltages between 7.2 V and 14.4 V.

5.2 FIRST BATTERY CHARGE

NOTE:

Please observe the following points in order to

ensure optimum battery life:

– Connect battery charger (177) to mains supply.

– Insert battery (176) into battery charger slot.

For the ﬁ rst charge, leave the battery in the

charger for at least ﬁ ve hours, regardless of the

battery indicator (the charging time for all subse-

quent charges is about 60 minutes).

For all subsequent charges, only recharge the

battery when the LED indicator on the tool indi-

cates battery empty (see Chapter 6.3). Avoid

charging when the battery is not yet dischar-

ged. This will ensure optimum battery capacity

and life.

Maximum battery output will be reached after four

or ﬁ ve charging/discharging cycles.

5.3 CHARGING THE BATTERY

The charging process and error functions are indi-

cated by a green light (see chapter 4.4).

The charging time is approximately 60 minutes.

The maximum charging current ﬂ ows when the

tem-perature of the battery is between 15–40°C.

Avoid charging the battery at temperatures below

0°C and above 40°C.

NOTE:

If the battery is not to be used for a longer

period (several days), it should be removed

from the tool and charged/stored in the battery

charger.

The intelligent charger with fuzzy control charges

the battery with the optimum rapid charging current,

depending on temperature and capacity. If fully

charged, a preserving charge will prevent selfdi-

scharge and thus guarantee a long battery life.
