Practical Advice - Bosch AL 1815 CV Notice Originale

Operation
Start-up
Note the mains voltage! The voltage of the power source
u
must match the voltage specified on the rating plate of
the charger. Chargers marked with 230 V can also be op-
erated with 220 V.
Charging process
The charging process begins as soon as the mains plug for
the charger is inserted into the mains socket and the battery
(1) is inserted into the charging slot (4).
Thanks to the intelligent charging process, the charge condi-
tion of the battery is automatically detected and then
charged up with the optimal charge current depending on
battery temperature and voltage.
In this way, the battery is treated with care and remains per-
manently fully charged when it is stored in the charger.
Understanding the Indicators (AL 1815 CV)
Flashing battery charge indicator (3)
The charging process is indicated by the flash-
ing of the battery charge indicator (3).
Continuous lighting of the battery charge indicator (3)
Continuous lighting of the battery charge in-
Full
dicator (3) indicates that the battery is fully
charged or that the temperature of the battery is not within
the allowable charging temperature range, and cannot be
charged for this reason. The battery is charged as soon as
the allowable charging temperature range is reached.
When the battery is not inserted, continuous lighting of the
battery charge indicator (3) indicates that the mains plug is
inserted in the socket outlet and that the battery charger is
ready for operation.
Meaning of the Indication Elements
(AL 1830 CV/AL 1880 CV)
(Fast) Flashing of the Green Battery Charge Indicator (3)
The rapid-charging procedure is indicated by
fast flashing of the green battery charge in-
dicator (3).
Note: The rapid-charging procedure is only possible when
the battery temperature is within the allowable charging
temperature range, see section "Technical Data".
(Slow) Flashing of the Green Battery Charge Indicator
(3)
When the charging condition of the battery is
80%, the green battery charge indicator (3)
flashes slowly.
The battery can be removed for immediate use.

Continuous Lighting of the Green Battery Charge
Indicator (3)
Continuous lighting of the green battery
Full
charge indicator (3) indicates that the battery
is fully charged.
When the battery is not inserted, continuous lighting of the
battery charge indicator (3) indicates that the mains plug is
inserted in the socket outlet and that the battery charger is
ready for operation.
Continuous Lighting of the Red Battery Charge Indicator
(2)
Continuous lighting of the red battery charge
indicator (2) indicates that the temperature of
the battery is not within the allowable charging temperature
range, see section "Technical Data". As soon as the allowable
charging temperature range is reached, the battery charger
automatically switches to rapid charging.
Flashing Red Battery Charge Indicator (2)
A flashing red battery charge indicator (2) in-
dicates a different malfunction of the charging
procedure, see section "Troubleshooting – Causes and Cor-
rective Measures".
Errors – Causes and Corrective Measures
Cause Corrective measure
AL 1815 CV: Battery charge indicator (3) is continu-
ously lit
1830 AL 1880 CV: Battery charge indicator (3) is con-
tinuously lit. Red battery charge indicator (2) is flash-
ing.
Charging not possible
The battery is not connected Connect battery to charger
(correctly) correctly
Battery contacts are dirty Clean battery contacts; e.g.
by connecting and discon-
necting the battery several
times. Replace battery if ne-
cessary
Battery defective Replace battery
Green battery charge indicator(3)/red battery charge
indicator (2) is not illuminated
Mains plug of the charger is Insert the mains plug into the
not (correctly) plugged in mains socket (completely)
Socket outlet, mains cable or Check mains voltage, have
charger defective charger checked if necessary
by an authorised after-sales
service centre for Bosch

Practical advice

A significantly reduced operating time after charging indic-
ates that the battery has deteriorated and must be replaced.
