Storage conditions
If possible, store the battery in a dry, well-ventilated place.
Protect it against moisture and water. When the weather
conditions are bad, it is advisable to remove the battery from
the eBike and store it in a closed room until you use it next,
for example.
Store the eBike batteries in the following locations:
– In a room with a smoke alarm
– Away from combustible or easily flammable objects
– Away from heat sources
To ensure an optimum service life, store the eBike batteries
at temperatures between 10 °C and 20 °C. Never store them
at temperatures below –10 °C or above 60 °C.
Make sure that the maximum storage temperature is not ex-
ceeded. Do not leave the battery in your car in the summer,
for example, and store it away from direct sunlight.
Leaving the battery on the bicycle for storage is not recom-
mended.
Action in the event of a fault
The Bosch eBike rechargeable battery must not be opened,
including for repairs. There is a risk of the Bosch eBike re-
chargeable battery catching fire, e.g. as a result of a short
circuit. This risk continues to apply on any Bosch eBike re-
chargeable battery ever opened, even at a later point in
time.
In the event of a fault, do not have your Bosch eBike re-
chargeable battery repaired; instead, have it replaced with
an original Bosch eBike rechargeable battery by your spe-
cialist retailer.
Maintenance and servicing
Maintenance and cleaning
u
The battery must not be submerged in water or
cleaned using a jet of water.
Keep the battery clean. Clean it carefully with a soft, damp
cloth.
Clean and lightly grease the connector pins occasionally.
Please contact an authorised bicycle dealer if the battery is
no longer working.
After-sales service and advice on using products
If you have any questions about the batteries, contact an au-
thorised bicycle dealer.
u
Note down the key manufacturer and number on the
key (1). Contact an authorised bicycle dealer if you lose
the key. Give them the name of the key manufacturer and

Transport
u
If you transport your eBike attached to the outside of
your car, e.g. on a bike rack, remove the on-board
computer and the eBike battery to avoid damaging
them.
The batteries are subject to legislation on the transport of
dangerous goods. Private users can transport undamaged
batteries by road without having to comply with additional
requirements.
When batteries are transported by commercial users or third
parties (e.g. air transport or forwarding agency), special re-
quirements on packaging and labelling (e.g. ADR regula-
tions) must be met. When preparing items for shipping, a
dangerous goods expert can be consulted as required.
Do not ship batteries if the housing is damaged or the re-
chargeable battery is not fully functional. Use only the ori-
ginal Bosch packaging for transport. Apply tape over ex-
posed contacts and pack the battery such that it cannot
move around inside the packaging. Inform your parcel ser-
vice that the package contains dangerous goods. Please also
observe any additional national regulations should these ex-
ist.
If you have any questions about transporting the batteries,
contact an authorised bicycle dealer. You can also order suit-
able transport packaging from the dealer.
Disposal
Batteries, accessories and packaging should be
recycled in an environmentally friendly manner.
Do not dispose of batteries along with household waste.
Apply tape over the contact surfaces of the battery terminals
before disposing of batteries.
Do not touch severely damaged eBike batteries with your
bare hands – electrolyte may escape and cause skin irrita-
tion. Store the defective battery in a safe location outdoors.
Cover the terminals if necessary and inform your dealer.
They will help you to dispose of it properly.
In accordance with Directive 2012/19/EU
and Directive 2006/66/EC respectively, elec-
tronic devices that are no longer usable and de-
fective/drained batteries must be collected
separately and recycled in an environmentally
friendly manner.
Please return batteries that are no longer usable to an au-
thorised bicycle dealer.
