We have been waiting for 6 hours in regeneration mode for Bosch c7 efb (battery dropped to 8.5 volts). Does the device finish the regeneration by itself or will it finish the regeneration and charge itself? I read the user manual from beginning to end but I couldn't understand anything. Do you have any information? Thanks.
Does the C7 automatically recognise which battery I have connected? Or do I need to change the mode to R? And when I need to charge a 24v battery will it automatically recognise its 24v or do I need to manually change it?
Sir, I am a big big fan of yours. Can I do the charging keeping battery intact with car or should I dismantle the battery everytime before charging? Can I use it partially for jump starting say finishing my dead battery at the battery percentage 50% and Can I start the engine and go for an urgent run to expect that the rest 50% charging will be done by running the car. Is it correct sir? Kindly reply me asap
No you do not have to if you charge it normally. It is safe to charge when battery intact with car. Unless you are using mode 4 (regeneration), which best practice is to remove the connectivity (battery) away from your car to safeguard the car electronic devices.
Can I charge my bike 12v 8ah batteries..hope it won't damage it? As I don't want to buy another charger for inverter batteries.. Wat is the charging capacity of C3 charger?
Does your charger put out 15v when charging a fully charged two wheeler battery mine puts around 15 v when charging small battery but in big battery it is around 14.2 do you have any idea about this is this a problem with the charger
Hi +Farhan Ali (PGDM 17-19), I do have plans to make a video on that when I visit 3M. For general maintenance & care matte paints requires least care as matte finish is free from swirl marks.
You can, but keep in mind this is an automatic charger which charges according to the condition of the battery so if you are looking for charging a number of batteries in a single go or want to manually adjust the feed then this might not be the right choice. I must also add this thing has the capacity to charge almost all automotive batteries (except Lithium ion and polymer batteries) including both 12V and 24V used in heavy commercial vehicles.
@@thesportztourer I connected the charger and pressed the button mode one time and started charging the battery. The AGM light didn't light up. So this is mode 1, right? So efb batteries charge in mode 1. That is what you mean?
I Bosch C7 boiled three batteries. And after a deep charge and after a short. In general, Bosch devices are rubbish by which the manufacturer raises sales of its new batteries by killing old ones. Yes, and for a lot of money.
Hey man my c7 came with the charger you plug to the wall. I let my car sit for 2 weeks and the battery died. Any experience on this wall charger? Says 15 hours!!
The Sportztourer it’s been plugged in for 12-13 hours now and still says charging doesn’t indicate full battery. Maybe because I’m charging through a 100 foot connection?
The Sportztourer thank you for the response. Just a few more things do we need to remove the silicon grease and battery cover while connecting and charging? My battery is currently low it is just at 10.8v
Right, 10.8V is low better get it charged. I prefer bringing the battery home and keeping it for an overnight charge. These are smart chargers which switch to trickle charger mode, so no worries on overcharging the battery.
there is no portable charger exist like how you imagine. The most you can get is portable battery jumper only. Unless you have portable power generator, then you can use any battery charger portably anywhere. At same time , why not carry a spare car battery and swap it when the one under the hood is dead? And furthermore, as long as you can jump start your car, and your car alternator still work fine.. just go ahead to your destination and do not stop anywhere until you have driven more than 30-40 minutes (or roughly 30-40km) to ensure the battery stay working on next restart.
I have same issue as you with mine too. The way to fix it is to connect C7 to your fully discharged battery, and when u saw the blue light on, press and hold the mode selection button for around 3-4 sec until it change to yellow circle. This will turn C7 into 'power supply mode'. Leave it for estimate 15min-20min before you change back the mode to normal mode again (important). This is how I do it and works like a charm most of time in my 2nd car (super rarely driven) In power supply mode, C7 will let in electric juice inside your dead battery basically charge it (without any controller or feat u got in mode 1 or 4), but still it will juice up your dead battery with lil power.
@@dmasmarty hello thanks for your help. unfortunately mine stays on Blue and never chances. I've tried 3 -4 sec. Unplug and plug again then 3-4 sec. But nothing
Thanks +Sai Kiran for the appreciation. I got it from Amazon & the price keeps changing. Check out the description link for the exact present price as both the C3 & C7 currently have some discount on them.
Genuine doubt: do we really need to buy such a charger. We very rarely fall into this situation and for that we have local mechanics ot service centres.
I feel this charger is not for those who have a single car or bike, and regularly using it. But it is useful for those who having more than one vehicle and rarely using .
Depends on your requirement. I live in a place where it drops down to minus 30 in winters. So I need to connect this to maintain the battery overnight. Also, if you have a car or bike that is not going to be used for several weeks, it is a good idea to connect a trickle charger in order to prevent risk of deep discharge.
Mode 2 | 12 V (14.7 V/7 A) Suitable for batteries with a capacity of more than 14 Ah in cold state or for many AGM batteries. Press the mode selection button (8) to select Mode 2. The LEDs (12+13) will light up. If no further action is taken, then charging will automatically start after a few seconds and the LED (10) will also light up. After successful charging of the battery, the LED will light up (11) and (10) go out. After a short delay the unit switches automatically to trickle charge mode and the LED (11) flashes.
Been trying to buy it for last 4 months in Pune, India. Very bad customer service and response. Unable to source the supplier or authorized supplier. Whats the use of making such a high quality product, when people are unable to buy it . Very disappointed with Bosch India

why do i charge my battery n it only take around 1 min to be at yellow (fully charge) ? i believe my battery is already at 20% n it take only 1 minute to be at yellow doeesnt make sense
The older 2015-2016 models had this problem. It is sorted out for the new ones. C7 has this deep discharge mode which helps in reviving discharged batteries.
Regeneration mode is present in C7, if it fails to detect automatically (sometime it may take longer to detect a deep discharge battery). You can also manually select it by pressing the mode button till you get to the 'R' mode.

Is it suitable for diesel generator battery
Do you have the battery specifications? Usually works for most of the 12V & 24V batteries.
No need to disconnect the battery for normal and trickle charging right?
Right 👍
Very good explanation. But is power supply mode.
Can it be used for commercial purposes
You can, but keep in mind this is an automatic charger which charges according to the condition of the battery so if you are looking for charging a number of batteries in a single go or want to manually adjust the feed then this might not be the right choice. I must also add this thing has the capacity to charge almost all automotive batteries (except Lithium ion and polymer batteries) including both 12V and 24V used in heavy commercial vehicles.

how to use regeneration mode
Can we charge Inverter battery with this charger?
can we use for inverter battery?
C3 supports upto 120 AH battery and C7 supports upto 160 AH battery so yes.
Which mode is ideal for charging EFB batteries with bosch c7 charger?
Hi!
EFB batteries should automatically get detected and start charging (similar to what happens with AGM type batteries).
@@thesportztourer I connected the charger and pressed the button mode one time and started charging the battery. The AGM light didn't light up. So this is mode 1, right? So efb batteries charge in mode 1. That is what you mean?
Hi broo can i charged the valve regulated lead battery
Yes you can 👍 Just make sure the battery is under the mentioned specifications.
How do I charge a lead acid battery using the c7? I mean what mode do I put it to ?
Use normal charging mode number 1 .
I Bosch C7 boiled three batteries. And after a deep charge and after a short. In general, Bosch devices are rubbish by which the manufacturer raises sales of its new batteries by killing old ones. Yes, and for a lot of money.
Most probably you do not know how to use it . I have no issue charging multiple batteries in multiple cars I own with this device.
Hey man my c7 came with the charger you plug to the wall. I let my car sit for 2 weeks and the battery died. Any experience on this wall charger? Says 15 hours!!
So your battery is losing charge even after charging?
The Sportztourer it’s been plugged in for 12-13 hours now and still says charging doesn’t indicate full battery. Maybe because I’m charging through a 100 foot connection?
If the charge was less than 25 percent then it will take more than 12-15 hours. Charging time also depends upon battery condition & sulphation levels.
The Sportztourer I bought a 12 volt 200-400 amp max jump start and didn’t work
Is the starter making clicking sound?
Can it analyse automatically if the battery is AGM or regular ?
Yes +Ashish Patel, it automatically recognises the type of battery 👍
Can it charge dry cell battery?
No , was meant only for Wet and AGM battery.
Do we need to remove the battery from the bike?
Hi Vigranth,
If you have a personal garage/parking space then you can connect the charger directly to the battery and leave it for charging.
The Sportztourer thank you for the response. Just a few more things do we need to remove the silicon grease and battery cover while connecting and charging? My battery is currently low it is just at 10.8v
Right,
10.8V is low better get it charged. I prefer bringing the battery home and keeping it for an overnight charge. These are smart chargers which switch to trickle charger mode, so no worries on overcharging the battery.
