u When the eBike battery is not in use, keep it
away from paper 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 terminals may cause burns or a
fire.Short circuit damage which occurs in this in-
stance voids any and all warranty claims against

u Avoid mechanical loads and exposure to high
temperatures. These can damage the battery cells
and cause the flammable contents to leak out.
u Do not place the charger or the eBike battery
near flammable materials. Ensure the eBike bat-
tery is completely dry and placed on a fireproof
surface before charging. There is a risk of fire due
to the heat generated during charging.

fluid; avoid contact. If contact occurs, rinse off
with water. If the liquid comes into contact with
your eyes, seek additional medical attention.

tion or burns.

comes damaged or is used incorrectly. Ensure
the area is well ventilated and seek medical at-
tention should you experience any adverse ef-
fects. The fumes may irritate the respiratory sys-
tem.

Bosch chargers. When using chargers that are not
made by Bosch, the risk of fire cannot be excluded.
