RELEASING AND INSERTING 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 will void the warranty.
CHARGING BATTERY PACK (30 MINUTE SINGLE BAY-BC130)
INDICATORS, SYMBOLS AND MEANING
If the indicator lights are “OFF”, the charger
is not receiving power from power supply
outlet.
If the green indicator light is
“ON”, the charger is plugged in
but the battery pack is not
inserted, or the battery pack is fully charged
and is being trickle charged.
If the green indicator light is
“BLINKING”, the battery pack is
being fast-charged. Fast-
charging will automatically stop when the
battery pack is fully charged.
If the red indicator light is “ON”,
the battery pack is too hot or
cold for fast-charging. The
charger will switch to trickle charge, until a
suitable temperature is reached, at which
time the charger will switch automatically to
fast-charging.
If the red indicator light is
“BLINKING”, the battery pack
cannot accept a charge or the
contacts of the charger or battery pack are
contaminated. Clean the contacts of the
charger or battery pack only as directed in
these operating instructions or those
supplied with your tool or battery pack.
