Safety instructions
Read all the safety and
general instructions.
Fail-
ure to observe the safety
and general instructions
may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious injury.
The contents of lithium-ion battery cells are flammable under
certain conditions. You must therefore ensure that you have
read and understood the rules of conduct set out in these
operating instructions.
Save all safety warnings and instructions for future ref-
erence.
The term battery is used in these instructions to mean all
original Bosch eBike rechargeable battery packs.
u
Remove the battery from the eBike before beginning
work (e.g. inspection, repair, assembly, maintenance,
work on the chain, etc.) on the eBike, transporting it
with a car or aeroplane, or storing it.
Unintentional ac-
tivation of the eBike system poses a risk of injury.
u
Do not open the battery. There is a risk of short-circuit-
ing. Opening the battery voids any and all warranty
claims.
u
Protect the battery against heat (e.g. prolonged sun
exposure), fire and from being submerged in water.
Do not store or operate the battery near hot or flam-
mable objects.
There is a risk of explosion.
u
When the battery is not in use, keep it away from pa-
per clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small
metal objects that could make a connection from one
terminal to another.
A short circuit between the battery
terminals may cause burns or a fire. Short circuit damage
which occurs in this instance voids any and all warranty
claims against Bosch.
u
Avoid mechanical loads and exposure to high temper-
atures.
These can damage the battery cells and cause the
flammable contents to leak out.
u
Do not place the charger or the battery near flam-
mable materials. Ensure the battery is completely dry
and placed on a fireproof surface before charging.
There is a risk of fire due to the heat generated during
charging.
u
The eBike battery must not be left unattended while
charging.
u
If used incorrectly, liquid may leak from the battery.
Contact with this liquid should be avoided. If contact
occurs, rinse off with water. If the liquid comes into
contact with your eyes, seek additional medical atten-
tion.
Liquid leaking from the battery may cause irritation
or scalding.
u
Batteries must not be subjected to mechanical shock.
There is a risk of the battery being damaged.
u
The battery may give off fumes if it becomes damaged
or is used incorrectly. Ensure the area is well ventil-
ated and seek medical attention should you experi-
ence any adverse effects. The fumes may irritate the
respiratory system.
u
Only charge the battery using original Bosch chargers.
When using chargers that are not made by Bosch, the risk
of fire cannot be excluded.
u
Use the battery only in conjunction with eBikes that
have original Bosch eBike drive systems.
This is the
only way in which you can protect the battery against dan-
gerous overload.
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.
u
Do not use the rack-mounted battery as a handle. Lift-
ing the eBike up by the battery can damage the battery.
u
Keep the battery away from children.
u
Read and observe the safety warnings and directions
contained in all the eBike system operating instruc-
tions and in the operating instructions of your eBike.
The safety of both our customers and our products is import-
ant to us. Our eBike batteries are lithium-ion batteries which
have been developed and manufactured in accordance with
the latest technology. We comply with or exceed the require-
ments of all relevant safety standards. When charged, these
lithium-ion batteries contain a high level of energy. If a fault
occurs (which may not be detectable from the outside), in
very rare cases and under unfavourable conditions, lithium-
ion batteries can catch fire.
Privacy notice
When you connect the eBike to the Bosch DiagnosticTool,
data about the eBike batteries (e.g. temperature, cell
voltage, etc.) is transferred to Bosch eBike Systems (Robert
Bosch GmbH) for the purposes of product improvement.
You can find more information about this on the Bosch eBike
website at www.bosch-ebike.com.
