Measuring Tool Power Supply

The measuring tool can be operated either with conventional non-rechargeable batteries or with a Bosch lithium-ion battery.

  • Use only the chargers listed in the technical data. Only these chargers are matched to the lithium-ion battery of your measuring tool.

Note: The use of batteries unsuitable for your measuring tool can lead to malfunctions or damage to the measuring tool.

Note: Lithium-ion rechargeable batteries are supplied partially charged according to international transport regulations. To ensure full rechargeable battery capacity, fully charge the rechargeable battery before using your tool for the first time.

To insert the charged battery pack (10), slide it into the battery bay (25) until you feel it engage.

To remove the battery pack (10), press the release buttons (9) and pull the battery pack out of the battery bay (25). Do not use force to do this.

Protect the battery against moisture and water.

Only store the battery within a temperature range of −20 to 50 °C. Do not leave the battery in your car in the summer, for example.

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

Follow the instructions on correct disposal.

It is recommended that you use alkaline manganese batteries to operate the measuring tool.

The batteries are inserted into the battery adapter.

  • The battery adapter is intended only for use in designated Bosch measuring tools and must not be used with power tools.

Rotate the cap (27) of the battery adapter anticlockwise and remove the cap. Put the batteries into the battery adapter (26). Make sure that the polarity is correct and corresponds to the markings on the battery adapter.

Always replace all the batteries at the same time. Only use batteries from the same manufacturer and which have the same capacity.

Place the cap (27) back on the battery adapter. Pay attention to the markings on cap and battery adapter. Turn the cap clockwise to lock it in place.

To insert the battery adapter (26), push it into the battery bay (25) until you feel it engage.

To remove the battery adapter (26), press the release buttons (9) and pull the battery adapter out of the battery bay (25).

  • Take the batteries out of the measuring tool when you are not using it for a prolonged period of time. The batteries can corrode during prolonged storage in the measuring tool.
