Start-up
Use only original Bosch batteries that the manu-
u
facturer has approved for your eBike. Using
other batteries can lead to injuries and pose a fire
hazard. Bosch accepts 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 sys-
tem, make sure that the lock (2) is closed.
To switch on the battery, press the on/off button (7).
Do not use sharp or pointed objects to press the but-
ton. The LEDs on the indicator (6) will light up, indi-
cating the battery's state of charge at the same time.
Always check that the battery pack is locked in
u
place. To do this, pull on the battery pack (after the
key has been removed).
Note: If the battery capacity is less than 5 %, none of
the LEDs on the battery charge indicator (6) will light
up. Whether the eBike system is switched on is only
visible on the on-board computer/control unit.
To switch off the battery, press the on/off button (7)
again. The LEDs on the indicator (6) go out. This will
also switch the eBike system off.
WARNING
Always remove the battery pack from the bicy-
u
cle before transporting the bicycle on a vehicle
bike rack. Failure to remove the battery pack when
using a vehicle bike rack can lead to death or seri-
ous injury. The battery may detach during transport
and cause an accident to following vehicles.
Always use an approved and compatible bicycle
u
rack when transporting your eBike. The Bosch
drive system adds weight to the bicycle. Refer to

Operation

If no power is drawn from the eBike drive for
about 10 minutes (e.g. because the eBike is not mov-
ing) and no button is pressed on the on-board com-
puter or the control unit of the eBike, the eBike sys-
tem will switch off automatically.
The battery is protected against deep discharge,
overloading, overheating and short-circuiting by the
Battery Management System (BMS). In the event of
danger, a protective circuit switches the battery off
automatically.
Behavior in the event of a fault
The Bosch eBike battery must not be opened, even
for repairs. There is a risk that the Bosch eBike bat-
tery could catch fire, e.g. due to a short circuit. This
risk arises if a Bosch eBike battery which has already
been opened is reused at a later point in time.
Therefore, do not repair the Bosch eBike battery in
the event of a fault, but have it replaced with an origi-
nal Bosch eBike battery by your specialist retailer.

Transport

your bicycle rack manual to be sure your eBike is
compatible. Overloading a bike rack can result in
death or serious injury.
Use proper lifting techniques as electric bikes
u
are generally heavier than bicycles.
Ship batteries only when the housing is undamaged.
Tape or mask off open contacts and pack up the bat-
tery in such a manner that it cannot move around in
the packaging. Inform your parcel service that the
package contains dangerous goods. Please also ob-
If a fault is detected in the
battery, two of the LEDs
on the battery charge in-
dicator (6) will flash. Con-
tact an authorized bicycle
dealer if this happens.
