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.
