Good day, when I connect the C3 to the power supply, the Mode switch lights up blue as it should. If I want to switch modes, nothing happens. Only the Mode switch remains lit. What could be the reason for this?

I turn on the charger as indicated... The blue light comes on... But when I turn it on, it is set to 6 v... And I need it to charge a 12 v battery and I can't change it to that position.

My Bosch C3 battery charger, which I've been using for a few years, has stopped working. The central blue indicator light comes on, but not the ones for selecting the charge. Perhaps I accidentally reversed the cables when connecting to the car battery. What can I check?

Is the BOSCH C3 charger malfunctioning if after a few seconds of connection, it selects the 2S (motorcycle) function instead of the car battery function it is connected to, and pressing the MODE button does not change anything?

I have removed the Optima AGM Battery (4/18), 12 V 55Ah from my caravan and connected it to the C3 charger. Only the blue light is displayed, indicating that it is ready for operation. Obviously, the battery is not being recognized. I have no way of entering a mode. Where could the problem be?
