2. User information
2.1 Important notes
Important information on copyright, liability and warran-
ty provisions, as well as on equipment users and com-
pany obligations, can be found in the separate manual
"Important notes on and safety instructions for Bosch
Battery Test Equipment". These instructions must be
carefully studied prior to start-up, connection and opera-
tion of the BAT 125 and must always be heeded.
2.2 Safety instructions
All the pertinent safety instructions can be found in
the separate manual "Important notes on and safety
instructions for Bosch Battery Test Equipment". These
instructions must be carefully studied prior to start-up,
connection and operation of the BAT 125 and must al-
ways be heeded.
2.3 Intended use
The portable and network-independent BAT 125 was
developed for mobile use. It is used for testing of 6 volt
and 12 volt starter batteries (lead-acid batteries, AGM
flat plate batteries, AGM spiral batteries, gel batteries)
and inspection of 12 volt and 24 volt starting systems
and charging systems for cars, water crafts, motor-
cycles and light commercial vehicles. You can check the
batteries either in the vehicle while installed or when
removed. It displays the test results and is equipped
with a printer via which the customer is provided with a
printout of the results.
Additional features include the ability to:
RTesting of batteries at a rated cold start current
(CCA) of 100 A to 2000 A
Rdetect bad cells
Rprotect against reverse polarity
Rtest discharged batteries
Rtest multiple rating systems
(EN, EN2, DIN, SAE, IEC, JIS)
Ra multi-lingual user interface
iFor battery assessment, the BAT 125 must be provid-
ed with the cold start current (CCA) in amperes and
the battery standard (EN, EN2, DIN, SAE, IEC, JIS)
as reference values. Correct entry of these reference
values is a prerequisite for accurate battery testing.
