Charging Battery Pack
Plug charger cord into your standard power
outlet. With no battery pack inserted, the
bottom LED on the battery charging
indicator 7 is continuously lit green. This
indicates the charger is receiving power
and the charger is ready for operation.
When you insert the battery pack into the
charger 2. The charger's green LED
indicator light will begin to "BLINK".
Thanks to the intelligent charging process,
the battery will be charged with optimal
charge current depending on battery
temperature, voltage and battery type. See
chart on page 6 for approximate charging
times with Standard charging mode and
"Power Boost" charging mode.
The factory default charging mode is the
Standard charging mode. "Power Boost"
charging mode can be activated by
pressing the "Power Boost" button or using
Bosch ToolBox app. Once the "Power
Boost" charging is completed, the charging
mode will be switched back to the default
charging mode automatically. The default
charging mode can be changed using the
connectivity
separately) and Bosch ToolBox app.
SETTING THE DEFAULT CHARGING MODE
There are 3 modes controlled by a slider
bar in the Bosch ToolBox app: Power
Boost, Standard, and Max Lifetime.
Additionally, Storage Mode can be selected
using a toggle The active charging mode
can be set for a single charging event or it
can be set as a default for all charging
cycles. If a single event type is set, the next
time a battery is charged, it will revert back
to the default. The app Charging Mode
slider indicates the charging mode.

batteries up to around 50% battery
capacity in rapid charging mode. This
means batteries are ready for use sooner
than if charged using the Standard charging
mode.
If the battery remains in the charger, it
automatically keeps charging in Max
Lifetime Mode up to around 80% battery
capacity.
Rapid charging speeds vary for different
battery types. Certain batteries are not
capable of charging faster than the
Standard charging mode. All batteries are
limited to a maximum charge of around
80% with Power Boost mode active. See
charging times and compatibilities in chart
on page 6.
STANDARD CHARGING MODE
The battery is charged up to around 100%
battery capacity. The Standard charging
mode provides the best combination of fast
charging time and full battery charge while
optimizing the service life of the battery.
Standard mode is active as the Factory
Default. It is also set as active for a single
charging event after deactivating "Power
Boost" mode using the Power Boost
button.
MAX LIFETIME MODE
The battery is charged up to around 80%
battery capacity. This mode charges the
battery
more
significantly prolonging its service life.
This mode can only be activated using the
Bosch ToolBox app.
STORAGE MODE
The long-term storage mode is intended
exclusively for extensive periods of storage
(six months or more). The battery is
charged up to only around 50% battery
capacity so that it can be stored unused for
a long time.
Note: Charger will not discharge a battery
to 50% capacity for storage. Before long
term storage a battery with over 50%
battery capacity should be discharged in a
tool to 50%.
This mode can only be activated using the
Bosch ToolBox app.
