Lithium-Ion Battery Pack
“PowerPack”
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 both to standard battery packs (battery packs
with holder on the bike frame) and to rack-type battery
packs (battery packs with holder in the rear rack/carrier),
except when explicitly referring to the design type.
Do not puncture or crush the battery pack. Do sub-
ject the battery pack to mechanical impacts or modi-
fy it in any way.
Do not use the battery pack if it shows
visible damage. Otherwise, there is the risk of a fire or an
explosion, which can cause death or serious injury.
Protect the battery pack against heat (e.g., tem-
perature > 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 begin-
ning work (e.g. inspection, repair, assembly, mainte-
nance, work on the chain, etc.) on the eBike, trans-
porting 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.
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.
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.
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.
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, the warranty is void and
Bosch shall not assume any liability.
Please read and observe the safety warnings and
instructions enclosed in the operating instructions
for the charger and the drive unit/on-board comput-
er, as well as in the operating instructions for your
eBike.
Keep the battery pack out of reach of children.
