Charging time depends on the battery model and its state of charge. You can find more information on this subject at Bosch: https://www.bosch-ebike.com/ch-fr/produits/chargeur

Hi there, I bought this charger because it's lighter and more compact, given that the charge is "slow". It's useful when you don't have much 230V power available, e.g. 12V --> 230V converter for a car limited to 100-120W (10A) or a shed... and you can leave it charging. It consumes ~75W compared with ~150W for the BCS220-4A. There's 1 BCS250 6A fast charger at 189.- ! but that's at the expense of battery life. Best regards

Difference with model BCS230 and 220

The main difference between the BCS230 and BCS220 is the charging current and the size of the charger. The BCS230 is a compact charger with a maximum charging current of 2 A, while the BCS220 is a standard charger with a maximum charging current of 4 A. Both operate at an input voltage of 230 V and a charging voltage of 36 V, but the BCS230 charges more slowly because of its lower current. The BCS220 is therefore faster at recharging the battery than the BCS230, and the BCS230 is smaller and lighter, making it easier to transport.

The Bosch BCS250 charger is not compatible with the new Bosch "smart system" batteries, which require a different plug connection. If your old charging plug has five pins and the new one only has three, the charger will not work without a suitable adapter or adaptation of the plug. It is important to check the compatibility of the plugs to ensure that the charger works correctly.

This is estimated via the power: ("Volt x Ampère = Watt"), so the charging power at 2A and 36V DC is approx. 72 Watt. Let it be an estimated 100-120W due to conversion losses or efficiency of the charger. That is still less than the 150W that your inverter can deliver. The type plate of all three charger variants (2A, 4A, 6A) can be found in the operating instructions (a bit of googling...). The following values are given for the Compact Charger (2A): Input: 100-240V, ~50/60Hz 1.6A Output: 36V = 2A If the charger were to reach 1.6A at 240V, it would "draw" approx. 380W of power. With a maximum output of 72W, the charger would have to "burn up" more than 300W - that would be a nice heater, the plastic housing would soon be soft as butter. The 1.6A on the input side must refer to operation at 100/110V, and would then correspond to approx. 160W. Compared to the 72W on the output side, that's still an astonishing amount. So: The charger cannot "draw" much more power than "goes out" (efficiency is another factor).

I ride a Cannondale Moterra SE with Bosch Performance Line CX and Powerpack 500. For longer one-day tours I take a second Powerpack 500 battery with me, which is unfortunately not a cheap option. For multi-day tours, I also take the charger (charging time approx. 7 hours for one battery!).

The charger with the item number 5702366 is from 220-240V. Here you will find the charger you are looking for: Bosch charger Active/Performance 2 Ampere with mains cable At the moment there are no experience reports with the transition plug in terms of charging time etc. available.
