## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it discharge the battery if left connected to the battery but unplugged from the wall?**
A: Bosch SCPRO SmartCharge Pro Black Battery Charger/MaintainerWith the charger hooked to the battery and no AC voltage at the Charger plug,the charger draws 0.83mA from the battery. This current draw occurred withthe battery at 12.93VDC.  (NOTE:  My husband is a BSEE.)

**Q: Will this charger bring back a very dead car battery?**
A: Not with the Bosch Basic 01896C1000 model.  For a 12V auto or marine battery, The Smart Charge Basic (grey in color) will not charge if battery voltage has dropped below 6Volts.  This is a real pain!
Didn't realize boat's radio was left turned on, and over a few days my deep cycle battery was at about 3Volt.  The charger has always worked great for topping off charge and maintaining, but never had to use for severely low voltage condition.
Buried deep in the instructions that address "protection" features... it states charger will only stay in "stand-by" if battery voltage is below 6volt.
So now I have to buy "dumb" charger to kick my battery up to +6Volts so I can use the Bosch "smart" charger again to maintain a full charge.
NOT HAPPY.

**Q: Hello, Is this charger for 120V or 240V?**
A: This charger charges all 6V and 12V vehicle applications.  If you want 12V and 24V you need the Bosch SCPRO.

**Q: Will the Bosch Basic charger perform the "de-sulferization" that we hear about being an issue for batteries?**
A: No
