General tips

i
Every battery charging process should be
preceded by a battery test using a Bosch
battery tester in order to assess the exact con-
dition of the battery about to be charged.

The battery charger should be placed on a
steady, horizontal base. The location must
be sufficiently stable. Note the weight of
the device and that of the battery to be
charged.

Protect the battery charger against humi-
dity and moisture.

Do not remove the battery charger's cover.
Place the battery charger in a location
where it has at least 15 cm of free air sur-
rounding it for ventilation purposes.

3.1.2 Important notes on charging batteries

Wear protective goggles. Clean any acid
splashes off your skin or clothing immedia-
tely, using copious amounts of water to do
so. If necessary you should visit a doctor.

Batteries should only be charged on well-
ventilated premises.

Avoid any fires, naked flames and sparking
when charging the battery.

Explosive gases are generated during the
charging process.
Pungent gas fumes are an indication of im-
minent danger of explosion!
Proceed as follows:
1. Do not switch off the battery charger! Avo-
id fire, naked flame and any sparking!
2. Do not disconnect the charger's crocodile
clip-on terminals!
3. The room is to be well ventilated imme-
diately!
4. Set the rotary control to its furthermost
left-hand setting (lowest battery charge
current)!
5. After ventilating the room switch the po-
wer switch on the charger to „0" (OFF)!
6. Have the battery checked by a Bosch Ser-
vice Point.

When charging batteries in the vehicle or
where performing a start-assist measure, fol-
low the vehicle manufacturer's instructions.

Only tested batteries should be used in
parallel to charge a battery.

Do not charge absolutely maintenance-free
batteries together with standard batteries
(maintenance free as under DIN).

Do not attempt to charge a non-chargeable
battery.

Switch off all consumers in the vehicle when
charging exhaustive discharge batteries and
when performing a start-assist measure.

The battery nominal voltage and the selec-
ted battery charging current must match.

The mains supply cable and the battery
charger cables with the crocodile clips
