Battery service:by BoschModern test technology boosts expertisein workshopsWith each new generation of vehicles, the scope ofelectrical and electronic systems widens. They increasinglyreplace mechanical and hydraulic components.Features that delight customers with more driving comfortand product quality are making completely newdemands to the capacities of workshops.The battery: The center of power supply forinnovative car componentsBattery services make top demands to testing devicesin use these days as well. The charging process has tobe free of voltage peaks that cause sensors to malfunction.Bosch battery chargers allow starter batteries tobe charged in a protective manner even while they arein place. Large power reserves provide successful startassistance under all temperature conditions.Innovations in automotive technology like the CAN databus and new legal requirements call for ever more qualifieddiagnostics in repairs and maintenance.System networks define the workshop business oftomorrowIn tomorrow’s cars, complex systems are linked up witheach other. Thus, the replacement of spare parts is onlypossible using qualified diagnostics information.When testing the state of a battery, flexible use is ofutmost importance: Bosch battery testers allow 12 Vbatteries as well as alternators with 12 V nominalvoltage to be tested quickly and easily anywhere.3

Battery charging technology from A to ZDirect battery charging on the vehicle electrical systemMore and more electrical consumers provide a majordegree of safety and comfort in motor vehicles. As aresult, highly sensitive components, such as airbags,ECUs, alternators, car phones, CD players, etc., needto be protected from voltage peaks when the batteryis being charged. Up until now, the battery had to bedisconnected from the vehicle electrical system for thatpurpose. The electronic and high-frequency chargers byBosch enable the charging of batteries on the vehicleelectrical system without any impairment of the vehicleelectronics. This translates into significantly improvedsafety and convenience for workshop services. No more cumbersome battery removals ordisconnecting The data memories of car radios, ECUs, phones,board computers, etc., are preserved Electrical consumers (airbags, ECUs, etc.)are protected No hazardous battery gassing even during tricklecharging Batteries can be charged when electrical consumersare connected (floating mode) Brief charging time due to large power reserves withIU / IWU characteristicTrickle chargingA battery is connected to the charger for charging overa prolonged period of time, e. g., for preserving camperand motorcycle batteries during winter.Gassing voltageFor 12 V batteries, this voltage limit is approximately14.4 V. If the gassing voltage is exceeded during charging,the battery significantly begins to gas. This leads towater losses in the battery resulting in the risk of detonatinggas. In order to prevent this, the charge voltagesof the charger have to be limited to 14.4 V (2.4 V / cell)or 13.8 V (2.3 V / cell) for 12 V batteries.Reverse-polarity protectionThe purpose of reverse-polarity protection is to preventreverse polarity of the crocodile clips of the charger.Usually a minimum voltage in the battery is required forreverse-polarity protection to work. Refer to the instructionmanual of the charger before using it.Floating modeIn floating mode, both chargers and consumers are connectedto the battery. That means that, during the chargeprocess, consumers receive power from the battery atthe same time. The electronics of the charger preventthe battery from overcharging.Start assistThe start assist function supports the battery when thevehicle is started. The high amount of current necessaryis generated by the increased short-term power of thecharger. Caution: The start assist is only possible forvehicles whose manufacturers do not discourage it inthe instruction manual.Rapid charging / fast chargingA battery is charged with high initial charge current. Oncethe gassing voltage (2.4 V / cell) is reached, the deviceeither has to be shut off or the current has to be lowered.Backup modeWhen a battery is replaced or removed, the chargerinitiates storage to preserve the data memories of carradios, car phones and others. In this case, current outputis limited.Exhaustive-discharge batteriesBatteries with a cell voltage of less than 1 V are calledexhaustive-discharge batteries. If they are not immediatelyrecharged, they become subjected to damage as timegoes by.15
