▶ Double the protection
Each individual cell in a Bosch battery
is protected by a rugged steel cup and
held in a plastic or aluminium housing.
This housing must not be opened. Direct
impact, major shocks, dropping and
excessive heat (including unnecessary
direct sunlight) must also be avoided
at all costs, as this could damage the
battery cells and cause flammable
contents to leak.
▶ Safe charging
In conjunction with the Battery Manage-
ment System integrated within the bat-
tery, Bosch chargers protect the battery
against overload during charging, as
well as damage caused by extreme
overcharging and short circuits. Bosch
batteries are to be charged exclusively
with authentic Bosch chargers because
these are designed exclusively for eBikes
with Bosch drives and the components
ensure a perfectly coordinated charging
and discharging process. Batteries
must only be charged in a dry state and
must not be charged in the vicinity of
heat sources or flammable materials.
We recommend storage in dry, well-
ventilated and uninhabited rooms with
smoke detectors that are not designated
for use in escape routes. After charging,
batteries and chargers should be dis-
connected from the power supply.
▶ Storage
Excessive heat and direct sunlight must
be avoided. Bosch batteries and chargers
must not be stored in the vicinity of
heat sources or flammable materials.
We recommend removing the battery
from the eBike for storage purposes
and keeping it in well-ventilated rooms
fitted with smoke detectors. Dry loca-
tions with an ambient temperature of
approximately 68°F (20°C) are the most
suitable. Bosch batteries must not be
stored at below 50°F (10°C) or above
104°F (40°C).
▶ Inspection
Using the Bosch DiagnosticTool, the
bicycle dealer can check the status of
the eBike, especially the battery, and
determine the number of completed
charging cycles. The CapacityTester
can also be used to determine the
current energy content of the battery.
▶ Cleaning
Cleaning with a damp cloth is recom-
mended. To protect the electronic
components, the batteries must never
be cleaned with a direct jet of water
or high pressure hose.
▶ Disposal
Used batteries must be disposed of
properly at the end of their service life.
Some bicycle dealers will accept the
return of used or defective batteries
free of charge and take care of their
proper disposal. eBike batteries do not
belong in the household waste or in
ordinary battery collection containers.
SAFETY
Safe handling of batteries
Bosch batteries are lithium-ion cells, which are developed and manu-
factured to the state of the art. In their charged state, these batteries
have a high energy content. The constituents of lithium-ion cells are
flammable under certain conditions. The operating manual contains
instructions on safe handling.
Bosch eBike batteries must never be opened, not even if
they are being repaired. Opening the battery always means
interfering with its certified condition and entails safety risks.
Further important information about safety risks and risks from
battery repairs can be found on Pages 28 and 29.
