Charging Battery Pack Model BC660 | Bosch Power Tools 36618, 36614

When you insert the battery pack into the charger, the charger’s green indicator light will begin to “BLINK”. This indicates that the battery is receiving a fast charge (Fig. 9).

When the indicator light stops “BLINKING” (and becomes a steady green light) fast charging is complete. The battery pack is fully charged and can be removed from the charger.

When you begin the charging process of the battery pack, a steady green light could also mean the battery pack is too hot or too cold.

Fast charging is only possible when the temperature range of the battery pack is between 32˚F (0˚C) and 113˚F (45˚C). When needed, the internal fan of the charger will turn on to aid the charging process and speed.
