Charging Battery Pack
(1 Hour Charger)
Plug charger cord into your standard power outlet. Before
inserting battery pack 1, remove protective cap 2, then
insert battery pack 1 into charger 3. The charger's green
indicator 4 will begin to "BLINK". This indicates that the
battery is receiving a fast charge. Fast-charging will
automatically stop when the battery pack is fully charged.
When the indicator light stops "BLINKING" (and becomes a
steady green light) fast charging is complete.
When you begin the charging process of the battery pack, a
steady green light could also mean the battery pack is too
hot or too cold.
The purpose of the light is to indicate that the battery pack
is fast-charging. It does not indicate the exact point of full
charge. The light will stop blinking in less time if the battery
pack was not completely discharged.
When the battery pack is fully charged, unplug the charger
(unless you're charging another battery pack) and slip the
battery pack back into the tool handle (Fig. 35).
To prevent fire or injury when batteries are not in tool or
charger, always place protective cap onto end of battery
pack.
Important Charging Notes
1.
The battery pack accepts only about 80% of its
maximum capacity with its first few charge cycles.
However, after the first few charge cycles, the battery
will charge to full capacity.
2.
The charger was designed to fast charge the battery
only when the battery temperature is between 40˚F
(4˚C) and 105˚F (41˚C).
3.
A substantial drop in operating time per charge may
mean that the battery pack is nearing the end of its life
and should be replaced.
4.
If you anticipate long periods (i.e. a month or more) of
non-use of your tool, it is best to run your tool down until
it is fully discharged before storing your battery pack.
After a long period of storage, the capacity at first
recharge will be lower. Normal capacity will be restored in
two or three charge/discharge cycles. Remember to
unplug charger during storage period.
5.
If battery does not charge properly:
a.
Check for voltage at outlet by plugging in some
other electrical device.
b.
Check to see if outlet is connected to a light
switch which turns power "off" when lights are
turned off.
c.
Check battery pack terminals for dirt. Clean with
cotton swab and alcohol if necessary.
d. If you still do not get proper charging, take or send
tool, battery pack and charger to your local Bosch
Service Center. See "Tools, Electric" in the Yellow
Pages for names and addresses.
Note: Use of chargers or battery packs not sold by Bosch
may void the warranty.
