Charging the battery 

The battery is mounted on the down tube  of 

your GRACE MX.  The battery must be removed 

from the bracket to charge it. Prior to removing 

the battery, please make sure that it is switched

fall out. 

 

 

Hold the battery tightly with one hand and open 

the battery lock with the other hand with a 

quarter turn of the key.  

Remove the battery from the holder.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Check whether the voltage set on your charger 

matches the voltage of your power source. (110 

volts or 230 volts)

 

 

Plug the device into the socket of the charger. 

Then connect the Bosch standard charger to the 

power supply.
