Safety Notes
Read all safety warnings and
all instructions.
Failure to fol-
low the warnings and instruc-
tions may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious in-
jury. The contents of lithium-ion battery cells are flammable
under certain conditions. You must therefore ensure that you
have read and understood the rules of conduct set out in
these operating instructions.
Save all safety warnings and instructions for future
reference.
The term “battery” is used in these instructions to mean all
original Bosch eBike rechargeable battery packs.
Remove the battery pack from the eBike before begin-
ning work (e.g. inspection, repair, assembly, mainte-
nance, work on the chain, etc.) on the eBike, transport-
ing it by car or plane, or storing it.
Unintentional
activation of the eBike system poses a risk of injury.
Do not open the battery pack.
Danger of short-circuiting.
Opening the battery pack voids any and all warranty
claims.
Protect the battery against heat (e.g. pro-
longed sun exposure) and fire and from being
submerged in water. Do not store or operate
the battery near hot or flammable objects.
There is a risk of explosion.
Keep the battery pack not being used away from paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal ob-
jects, that can make a connection from one terminal to
another.
Shorting the battery-pack terminals together
may cause burns or a fire. For short-circuiting damage
caused in this manner, any and all warranty claims through
Bosch shall be invalid.
Avoid mechanical loads and exposure to high tempera-
tures.
These can damage the battery cells and cause the
flammable contents to leak out.
Do not place the charger or battery pack near to
flammable materials. Charge battery packs only when
dry and in a fireproof area.
There is a risk of fire due to the
heat generated during charging.
The eBike battery must not be left unattended while
charging.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery pack. Avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, addi-
tionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the
battery pack may cause skin irritations or burns.
Battery packs must not be subjected to mechanical im-
pacts.
There is a risk that the battery pack will be damaged
causing vapours to escape. The vapours can irritate the
respiratory system. Provide for fresh air and seek medical
attention in case of complaints.
The battery may give off fumes if it becomes damaged
or is used incorrectly. Provide a fresh air supply and
seek medical advice in the event of pain or discomfort.
These fumes may irritate the respiratory tract.
Charge the battery pack only with original Bosch bat-
tery chargers.
When using non-original Bosch chargers,
the danger of fire cannot be excluded.
Use the battery pack only together with eBikes that
have an original Bosch eBike drive system.
This is the
only way to protect the battery pack against dangerous
overload.
Use only original Bosch battery packs approved for
your eBike by the manufacturer.
Using other battery
packs can lead to injuries and pose a fire hazard. When
using other battery packs, Bosch shall not assume any
liability and warranty.
Do not use the rack-type battery pack as a handle.
Lift-
ing the eBike up by the battery pack can cause damage to
the battery pack.
Read and observe the safety warnings and instructions
in all operating instructions of the eBike system and in
the operating instructions of your eBike.
Keep the battery pack out of reach of children.
The safety of both our products and customers is impor-
tant to us. Our PowerPacks are lithium-ion batteries which
have been developed and manufactured in accordance
with the latest technology. We comply with or exceed the
requirements of all relevant safety standards. When
charged, these lithium-ion batteries contain a high level of
energy. In the case of a fault (which may not be detectable
from the outside), lithium-ion batteries can, in very rare
cases and under unfavourable conditions, catch fire.
