Charge-control Indicator
When the battery pack is switched on, the five green LEDs of
the charge-control indicator
1
indicate the charge condition
of the battery pack.
In this, each LED indicates approx. 20 % capacity. When the
battery pack is completely charged, all five LEDs light up.
The charge level of the switched on battery pack is also shown
on the display of the on-board computer. When doing so, read
and observe the operating instructions of the drive unit and
on-board computer.
If the capacity of the battery pack is below 5 %, all LEDs of the
charge-control indicator
1
on the battery pack go out. Howev-
er there is another display function of the on-board computer.
After charging, disconnect the battery from the charger and
the charger from the network.
Inserting and removing the battery pack
Always switch off the battery pack and the eBike sys-
tem when you insert the battery pack into the holder or
when you take it out of the holder.
Inserting and removing a standard battery (see figure A)
In order for the battery pack to be inserted, the key
3
must be
inserted into the lock
4
and the lock must be unlocked.
To
insert the standard battery pack
6
, place it with the con-
tacts on the lower holder
7
on the eBike (the battery pack can
be inclined up to 7° to the frame). Tilt it into the upper holder
5
until it engages.
Check if the battery pack is tightly seated. Always lock the
battery pack with lock
4
, as otherwise the lock can open and
the battery pack could fall out of the holder.
After locking, always remove the key
3
from the lock
4
. This
prevents the key from falling out and the battery pack from
being removed from unauthorised persons when the eBike is
parked.
To
remove the standard battery pack
6
, switch it off and
unlock the lock with the key
3
. Tilt the battery pack out of the
upper holder

.
Operation
Initial Operation
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.
Switching On and Off
Switching on the battery pack is one of the ways of switching
on the eBike system. When doing so, read and observe the op-
erating instructions of the drive unit and on-board computer.
Before switching on the battery pack or the eBike system,
check that the lock
4
is locked.
To
switch on
the battery pack, press the On/Off button
2
. The
LEDs of indicator
1
light up and at the same time indicate the
charge condition.
Note:
If the capacity of the battery pack is below 5 %, no LED
on the charge-control indicator
1
lights up. It is only visible on
the on-board computer, if the eBike system is switched on.
To
switch off
the battery pack, press the On/Off button
2
again. The LEDs of indicator
1
go out. This also switches off
the eBike system.
If no power is drawn from the eBike drive for about 10 min-
utes (e.g. because the eBike is not moving) and no button is
pressed on the on-board computer or the operating unit of the
eBike, the eBike system and therefore also the battery pack
will shut down automatically to save energy.
The battery pack is protected against deep discharging, over-
charging, overheating and short-circuiting through the “Elec-
tronic Cell Protection (ECP)”. In case of hazardous situations, a
protective circuit automatically switches off the battery pack.
When a defect of the battery
pack is detected, two LEDs of
the charge-control indicator
1
flash. In this case, please refer
to an authorised Bosch eBike
dealer.
Notes for Optimum Handling of the Battery Pack
The battery-pack life can be prolonged when being properly
maintained and especially when being operated and stored at
the right temperatures.
With increasing age, however, the battery-pack capacity will
diminish, even when properly maintained.
A significantly reduced operating period after charging indi-
cates that the battery pack is worn out and must be replaced.
You can replace the battery pack yourself.
Recharging the Battery Pack prior to and during Storage
When not using the battery pack for a longer period, charge it to
approx. 60 % (3 to 4 LEDs lit on the charge-control indicator
1
).
Check the charge condition after 6 months. When only one
LED of the charge-control indicator
1
lights up, recharge the
battery pack again approx. 60 %.
Note:
When the battery pack is stored discharged (empty) for
longer periods, it can become damaged despite the low self-
discharging feature and the battery-pack capacity may be
strongly reduced.
It is not recommended to have the battery pack connected
permanently to the charger.
