Handling the lithium-ion battery pack
Safety warnings for
Bosch eBike batteries
Read and understand all safety
warnings and instructions. Failure to
follow the warnings below could result
in death or serious injury.
Save all safety warnings and instructions for future
reference.
The term “battery pack” used in these operating instruc-
tions refers to all original Bosch eBike battery packs.

Do not puncture or crush the battery pack. Do not sub-
ject the battery pack to mechanical impacts or modify
it in any way. Do not use the battery pack if it shows visi-
ble damage. Otherwise, there is the risk of a fire or an ex-
plosion, which can cause death or serious injury.
Protect the battery pack against heat (e.g.,
temperature > 140 °F), fire and immersing into
water. Otherwise, there is the risk of an explosion.

Use only original Bosch battery packs approved for
your eBike by the manufacturer and purchased from
a trusted source. Use of non-approved or counterfeit
battery packs can lead to death or serious injury.

Remove the battery pack from the eBike before
beginning work (e.g. inspection, repair, assembly,
maintenance, work on the chain, etc.) on the eBike,
transporting it by car or plane, or storing it. Uninten-
tional activation of the eBike system poses a risk of
injury.

Do not open the battery pack. There is a risk of a short
circuit. Opening the battery pack voids any and all war-
ranty claims.

If it is not being used, keep the battery pack away
from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other
small metal objects that can make a connection from
one terminal to another. Shorting the battery pack ter-
minals together may cause burns or a fire. For any dam-
age caused by shorting the terminals in this way, any
and all warranty claims through Bosch shall be invalid.

Avoid mechanical loads and exposure to high tem-
peratures. These can damage the battery cells and
cause the flammable contents to leak out.

Do not place the charger or battery pack near flam-
mable 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.

If it is abused, then liquid may be ejected from the
battery pack. Avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, ad-
ditionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery pack may cause skin irritations or burns.

Battery packs must not be subjected to mechanical
impacts. There is a risk that the battery pack will be
damaged causing vapors to escape. The vapors can irri-
tate the respiratory system. Provide for fresh air and
seek medical attention in case of complaints.

The battery may give off fumes if it becomes dam-
aged or is used incorrectly. Provide a fresh air supply
and seek medical advice in the event of pain or dis-
comfort of being exposed to these fumes. These
fumes may irritate the respiratory tract.

Charge the battery pack only with original Bosch
battery chargers. When using non-original Bosch char-
gers, the risk 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.
