Bosch Athlet Charging Fix 

Thanks so much for doing this video... you have just saved me buying a new vacuum cleaner! Took it apart and noticed the black wire from the charge point had come loose inside... fixed this but still wouldn’t charge... I hadn’t noticed the little black unit inside had been pushed inwards by the charge cable (from outside). Problem was exactly as per your video. Very grateful to you

You sir may have saved me from having to buy a new vacuum cleaner. Thank you

Thanks, that was exactly what was wrong with mine. I put a self tapper in the bottom hole and it just about grips the case plastic, if it comes loose I'll glue it together.

Hi this is the problem with mine. Will try and find the video now how to take apart

Spot on, thanks!

Hello where can i buy a connector terminal clutch?

I was just about to bust open mine when I looked over and saw it has started charging, so I think what happened was that after running it for some time, it overheated, and when plugging it in overheated, it will act just like when you have the problem you show here. So leave it to cool down for a while and try again before trying to fix it.

A great video. Sadly in mine, this is not the problem 😕

thanks mate! great video

How do you remove the grill on the back to get to the screws?

Hi! Thanks for such wonderful video! Where can I buy this board?

Hi there, where did you get the board ? I have an issue with my athlet that the unit runs and runs until the battery is flat, charging is no longer possible. thanks

I tried this but the connector is seated quite tight and I stil can't get the lights to switch on when charging. Btw, the battery does charge, just no lights :(

I have a similar problem, my athlet is charging, the batteries are holding the charge but when I switch the athlet on the battery indicator is showing the battery as dead. I am beginning to think there is something wrong with the pcb. Any help will be appreciated.

Mate, I’ve checked my charge port and it starts charging for 30 secs then stops altogether. Any thoughts?

Managed to get some of it apart though the charge port is fine. Could I need a new charger?

Thanks. Nice Video. What type of screw driver is needed to open the screws of that casing? A normal cross head isnt working for me

Hello, how do you take the vacuum apart to get inside? Thanks

Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge with those of us who do not know. I would like to know where I could buy (internet) the control module for an athlet 32.4 or a 25.2 like the one you have changed, only the card, I do not need the battery because I already have done the assembly with new ones and the power reaches the card well but later, this card does not load (bsh facelift rev.3 9c_30Q). Thank you very much for your time and delighted to hear from you.(1:44)

Where do you get replacement batterys

Do you want to sell your spare board? If not, can you suggest a source?

Seems my charge port has disappeared inside

Hello Sir, I have that very same apparatus. After it was falling during charging, the jack-connection broke. I found an exact similar jack and soldered it onto the wire. However, I did not see, that I switched polarity. I left it to charge overnight, but in the morning, I noticed that the blue lights did, not come on, and it wasn’t charging at all. I have dismantled the machine and measured the power and it seems ok from out of the charger. Then, what may be the problem? What may have gone wrong as a result of the switched polarity?

Can you direct me to taking the machine apart to do this

Why always red light on?

I have had a Bosch Athlet 25.2V for three years and all was fine until the last time that it was used, I noticed that the charge was low then when I plugged in the charger, the charge lights didnt come on. I live in assisted housing and recently I've been allowing the carers to vacuum so I don't know what might have been done while I was busy doing other things. The charge socket appears sturdy and solid, I've checked both fuses so there is little else I can do. I was brought up to fix things to component level, originally valve TVs and Audio, then as modern circuits came into being, Transistor audio equipment, Then again when ICs were born, everything and anything. Computers however and modern equipment doesn't lend itself to fault finding to component level so I'm pretty much at a loss what to do next. Any suggestions? The battery is running fine, it's just that when it's gone, I cannot charge it.

were did you get the spare board from

How long did you have your vacuum before you had problems?

can you tell me which are performances of charger

Co ty pokazałeś jak przykleić złącze ładowania!!!! Pokaż jak zaprogramować mikrokontroler w tym odkurzaczu a nie jakieś popieprzone użycie kleju!!!!
