fire. For short-circuiting damage caused in
this manner, any and all warranty claims
through Bosch shall be invalid.
• Under abusive conditions
, liquid may
be ejected from the battery pack. Avoid
contact. If contact accidentally occurs,
flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes,
additionally 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.
• Vapours can escape in case of damage
and improper use of the battery pack. Pro-
vide for fresh air and seek medical attention
in case of complaints. The vapours can
irritate the respiratory system.
• Charge
the battery pack only with ori-
ginal Bosch battery 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 manufactu-
rer. 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.

out of reach of
children.
• Take care
not to drop the battery
when removing it from the bike.
This can actually damage the battery
housing irreparably.

must not be exposed to mechani-
cal impact. This risks damaging the battery.

1.4 CHARGER
• Keep the charger away from rain or
moisture. The penetration of water
into a battery charger increases the risk of
an electric shock.
• Only charge eBike-approved Bosch lithium-
ion battery packs. The battery-pack voltage
must match the battery-pack charging
voltage of the charger. Otherwise there is
danger of fire and explosion.
• Keep the battery charger
clean. Conta-
mination can lead to danger of an electric
shock.
• Before each use
, check the battery char-
ger, cable and plug. If damage is detected,
do not use the battery charger. Never open
the battery charger yourself. Have repairs
performed only by a qualified technician
and only using original spare parts. Dama-
ged battery chargers, cables and plugs
increase the risk of an electric shock.
• Do not operate the battery charger on
easily inflammable surfaces (e.g., paper,
textiles, etc.) or surroundings. The heating
of the battery charger during the charging
process can pose a fire hazard.
• Vapours
can escape in case of damage
and improper use of the battery pack. Pro-
vide for fresh air and seek medical attention
in case of complaints. The vapours can
