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.
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".
Continuous Lighting of the Green Battery Charge
Indicator 3
Continuous lighting of the green battery
charge indicator 3 indicates that the bat-
tery is fully charged.
Additionally, a signal tone sounds for approx. 2 seconds,
which acoustically indicates that the battery is fully charged.
Afterwards, the battery can be removed for immediate use.
When the battery is not inserted, continuous lighting of the
battery charge indicator 3 indicates that the mains plug is in-
serted in the socket and that the battery charger is ready for
operation.
Continuous Lighting of the Red Battery Charge Indicator 4
Continuous lighting of the red battery
charge indicator 4 indicates that the tem-
perature of the battery is not within the al-
lowable charging temperature range, see
section "Technical Data". As soon as the allowable charging
temperature range is reached, the battery charger automati-
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.
Flashing Red Battery Charge Indicator 4
A flashing red battery charge indicator 4
indicates a different malfunction of the
charging procedure, see section "Trouble-
shooting – Causes and Corrective Meas-
ures".

Working 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 charg-
er.
A significantly reduced working period after charging indi-
cates that the battery is used and must be replaced.
Battery Cooling (Active Air Cooling)
The fan control integrated in the battery charger controls the
temperature of the inserted battery. When the battery tem-
perature is above 30 °C, a fan cools down the battery to the
optimal charging temperature. The switched-on fan produces
a fan noise.
The battery temperature is within the optimal charging tem-
perature range when the fan is not running. Another reason
for a non working fan might be that it is defective. In this case,
the charging time of the battery might be extended.

Maintenance and Service

If the replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this has to
be done by Bosch or an authorized Bosch service agent in or-
der to avoid a safety hazard.
