Overview
mechanical loads or exposure to intense heat
since they may damage the battery cells and
cause flammable contents to leak out.
The battery is protected against deep discharge,
overcharging, overheating and short circuit. In the
event of a hazard, a protective circuit switches the
battery off automatically.
The battery has a high energy content when
charged. The substances in lithium-ion battery
cells may become inflammable under certain
conditions. You will find codes of practice for their
safe handling in Section 2 Safety and Section 6.9
Rechargeable battery in the operating
instructions.
If the electric drive system is not used for about
10 minutes (e.g. the S pedelec is stationary) and
no button has been pressed on the on-board
computer or the control panel, the electric drive
system and the battery switch off automatically to
save energy. The type and duration of operating
conditions have a significant effect on the battery
life. Just like any other lithium-ion battery, the
Bosch battery will age naturally, even if it is not
being used.
Its battery life can be extended if the battery is well
maintained and, more importantly, stored at the
correct temperatures. The charging capacity will
decrease with age, even if the battery is
maintained properly. If the operating time is
severely shortened after charging, this is a sign
that battery has reached the end of its useful life.
Battery performance is reduced when the
temperature drops since this increases electrical
resistance. As a result, you should expect the
range to be shorter than normal in winter. We
recommend using thermal protection sleeves
when riding longer distances in the cold.
The S pedelec features either an integrated
battery, a pannier rack battery or a frame battery.
Each battery has its own lock.
3.1.6.1 Integrated battery
Two different types of pannier rack batteries can
be fitted:
