Safety instructions

Read all the safety and general instructions.
Failure to observe the safety and general in-
structions 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.
Read and observe the safety warnings and directions
u
contained in all the eBike system operating instruc-
tions and in the operating instructions of your eBike.
Remove the battery from the eBike before beginning
u
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.
Do not open the battery. There is a risk of short-circuit-
u
ing. Opening the battery voids any and all warranty
claims.
Protect the battery against heat (e.g. prolonged sun
u
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.
When the battery is not in use, keep it away from pa-
u
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.
Avoid mechanical loads and exposure to high temper-
u
atures. These can damage the battery cells and cause the
flammable contents to leak out.
Do not place the charger or the battery near flam-
u
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.
The eBike battery must not be left unattended while
u
charging.
If used incorrectly, liquid may leak from the battery.
u
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.
Batteries must not be subjected to mechanical shock.
u
There is a risk of the battery being damaged.
The battery may give off fumes if it becomes damaged
u
or is used incorrectly. Ensure the area is well ventil-
Bosch eBike Systems
ated and seek medical attention should you experi-
ence any adverse effects. The fumes may irritate the
respiratory system.
Only charge the battery using original Bosch chargers.
u
When using chargers that are not made by Bosch, the risk
of fire cannot be excluded.
Use the battery only in conjunction with eBikes that
u
have original Bosch eBike drive systems. This is the
only way in which you can protect the battery against dan-
gerous overload.
Use only original Bosch batteries that the manufac-
u
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.
Keep the battery away from children.
u
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 Dia-
gnosticTool 3, data about the eBike batteries (e.g. temper-
ature, cell voltage, etc.) is transferred to Bosch eBike Sys-
tems (Robert Bosch GmbH) for the purposes of product im-
provement. You can find more information about this on the
Bosch eBike website at www.bosch-ebike.com.
