NEW ELECTRONIC ALL-ROUND CHARGER BAT 415 FROM BOSCH CHARGES EVEN GEL AND AGM BATTERIES
14 December 2005 - Bosch

FOR EVERY TYPE OF 12 V LEAD-ACID STORAGE BATTERY:New electronic all-round charger BAT 415 from Bosch charges even gel and AGM batteries

. Charger with precise charge characteristics for maximum performance

· Safety features prevent false operation with serious consequences

Bosch has marketed the newly designed battery charger BAT 415 with a
maximum charging current of 15 amps. BAT 415 is an all-round charger for
every workshop thanks to its universal applicability and also because of
additional functions and safety features protecting it against faulty
operations. All commercially available 12 V lead-acid storage starter
batteries with liquid or fixed electrolyte can be safely charged with
this unit. Gel or even AGM (AGM = Absorbent Glass Mat) batteries with
fixed electrolyte are increasingly fitted as original equipment in
passenger cars due to the high deep-cycle resistance.

The charging current is infinitely variable and electronically
controlled by a micro processor. BAT 415 has a sophisticated and
extremely accurate level of charge which electronically monitors the
whole charging process. Batteries can be charged at the vehicle
electrical system, but continuous charging with controlled switching from
charging to non-charging is also possible. Other functions of BAT 415
include floating-mode operation and backup mode, as is needed in battery
changes.

Various safety functions practically exclude the possibility of
mishandling or faulty operation leading to serious consequences: BAT 415
immediately switches off or does not even start up in case of false
operation. Furthermore, BAT 415 is protected against overload and
overcharging. The reverse polarity protection allows operation of the
charger only when connected with correct polarity.

The Bosch Group is a leading global manufacturer of automotive and
industrial technology, consumer goods, and building technology. In fiscal
2004, some 242 000 associates generated sales of 40 billion euros. Set up
in Stuttgart in 1886 by Robert Bosch (1861-1942) as ''Workshop for
Precision Mechanics and Electrical Engineering,'' the Bosch Group today
comprises a manufacturing, sales, and after-sales service network of some
260 subsidiaries and more than 10 000 service centers in over 130
countries.

The special ownership structure of the Bosch Group guarantees its
financial independence and entrepreneurial freedom. It makes it possible
for the company to undertake significant up-front investments in the
safeguarding of its future, as well as to do justice to its social
responsibility in a manner reflective of the spirit and will of its
founder. 92 % of the shares of Robert Bosch GmbH are held by the
charitable foundation Robert Bosch Stiftung. The entrepreneurial
ownership functions are carried out by Robert Bosch Industrietreuhand KG.
