❸ Press the battery upwards until you hear it click into
place. Check that the battery is secure in all directions.
❹ Always secure the battery by closing the lock (6) –
otherwise the lock may open and the battery may fall
out of the holder.
Always remove the key (5) from the lock (6) after locking it.
This prevents both the key from falling out and the battery
from being removed by unauthorised third parties when the
eBike is not in use.
Operation
Start-up
u
Use only original Bosch batteries that the manufac-
turer has approved for your eBike. Using other batter-
ies can lead to injuries and pose a fire hazard. Bosch ac-
cepts no liability or warranty claims if other batteries are
used.
Switching on/off
Switching on the battery is one way to switch on the eBike
system. Read and follow the instructions in the operating
manuals for the drive unit and on-board computer.
Before switching on the battery, i.e. the eBike system, make
sure that the lock (6) is closed.
To switch on the battery, press the on/off button (4). The
LEDs on the indicator (3) will light up, indicating the bat-
tery's state of charge at the same time.
Note: If the battery capacity is less than 5%, none of the
LEDs on the battery charge indicator (3) will light up.
Whether the eBike system is switched on is only visible on
the on-board computer.
To switch off the battery, press the on/off button (4) again.
The LEDs on the indicator (3) go out. This will also switch
the eBike system off.
If no power is drawn from the eBike drive for about 10
minutes (e.g. because the eBike is not moving) and no but-
ton is pressed on the on-board computer or the operating
unit of the eBike, the eBike system, and therefore also the
battery, will switch off automatically to save energy.
The battery is protected against deep discharge, overload-
ing, overheating and short-circuiting by the Electronic Cell
Protection (ECP). In the event of danger, a protective circuit
switches the battery off automatically.
If a fault is detected in the
battery, two of the LEDs on
the battery charge indicator
(3) will flash. Contact an au-
thorised bicycle dealer if this
happens.
Recommendations for optimal handling of the
battery
The service life of the battery can be extended if it is looked
after well and especially if it is stored at the correct temper-
ature.
As it ages, however, the capacity of the battery will diminish,
even with good care.
A significantly reduced operating time after charging indic-
ates that the battery has deteriorated. You can replace the
battery.
Recharging the battery before and during storage
When you are not going to use the battery for an extended
period (longer than three months), store it at a state of
charge of around 30 % to 60 % (when two to three of the
LEDs on the battery charge indicator (3) are lit).
Check the state of charge after six months. If only one of the
LEDs on the battery charge indicator (3) is lit, charge the
battery back up to around 30 % to 60 %.
Note: If the battery is stored with no charge for an extended
period of time, it may become damaged despite the low self-
discharge and the battery capacity could be significantly re-
duced.
Leaving the battery permanently connected to the charger is
not recommended.
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
Store the batteries at temperatures between 0 °C and
20 °C. Never store them at temperatures below –10 °C or
above 60 °C. To ensure that the service life is as long as pos-
sible, storage at approx. 20 °C (room temperature) is re-
commended.
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.
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 (5). Contact an authorised bicycle dealer if you lose
the key. Give them the name of the key manufacturer and
the number on the key.

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. Apply tape
over exposed contacts and pack the battery such that it can-
not move around inside the packaging. Inform your parcel
service that the package contains dangerous goods. Please
also observe any additional national regulations should these
exist.
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.
