Bosch C3 (0 189 999 03M)

The automatic charger from the German company Bosch is suitable both for replenishing the energy reserves of motorcycle batteries and for recharging all types of car batteries(classic lead-acid, gel, AGM).

Automatic selection

In the arsenal of the device, there are 4 modes of operation. Two of them are designed to charge motorcycle batteries with a current of 0.8 A (with a voltage of 6 or 12 V and a capacity of 1.2-14 A / h), and two more are for restoring the performance of automotive batteries with a current of 3.6 and 3.8 A, respectively (with a voltage of 12 V and a capacity of 14-120 Ah). When connected to the battery terminals using the supplied "crocodiles", the device itself determines in which mode to charge.

Replenishment of energy

Many owners of the charger complain that it does not see batteries with a very low charge (less than 4 V). Therefore, you should not count on help in restoring a completely dead battery using the Bosch C3. Nevertheless, when the voltage of the car battery drops to 5-6 V, pulse charging effectively handles with replenishing energy reserves. The duration of the charging process is directly proportional to the capacity of the battery.

Security

The device has several degrees of protection at once: against incorrect polarity (the corresponding indicator is placed on the case), overcharging and overheating. And you can safely use it without disconnecting the battery from the car's on-board network.

Convenience

A special hook is provided on the upper part of the device case for easy hanging of the charger (for example, fixing it in the hole of the car hood). But for some reason, the manufacturer did not take care of the cover or box for storing the device. Moreover, thanks to its small dimensions, the charger does not take up much space.
