Troubleshooting

Charger not powering on

Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet and the charger. Check if the outlet itself is functional.

Battery not charging (LED not flashing)

Verify that the battery is correctly seated in the charger. Ensure the battery is compatible (Bosch 12V). Clean the battery contacts and charger terminals. If the issue persists, the battery may need service or replacement.

Refer to the Bosch tool manual for specific LED error code meanings. Often, this indicates a battery fault or an issue with the charging environment (e.g., temperature). Allow the battery to return to room temperature.
