Using Two Battery Packs for One eBike (optional)

An eBike can also be equipped with two battery packs by the

manufacturer. In this case, one of the charge sockets is not

accessible or is sealed by the bicycle manufacturer with a

sealing cap. Charge the battery packs only at the accessible

charge socket.

 Never open charge sockets that have been sealed by

the manufacturer. Charging at a previously sealed charge

socket can lead to irreparable damage.

If you have an eBike that is designed for two battery packs and

you want to use it with only battery pack, cover off the con-

tacts of the unused socket using the cover lid 10 provided be-

cause otherwise the open contacts pose a risk of short-cir-

cuiting (see figures A and B).

Charging with Two Battery Packs Inserted

If two battery packs are mounted on one eBike, both battery

packs can be charged using the unsealed connection. The

charging process will charge both battery packs alternately,

automatically switching between both battery packs numer-

ous times. The charging times add up.

Both battery packs are also discharged alternately during

operation.

If you take the battery packs out of the holders, you can

charge each battery pack individually.

Charging with One Battery Pack Inserted

If only one battery pack is inserted, then you can charge only

the battery pack that has the accessible charge socket on the

bike. You can charge the battery pack with the sealed charge

socket only when you take the battery pack out of the holder.

Inserting and removing the battery pack

(see figures A–B)

 Always switch off the battery pack and the eBike sys-

tem when you insert the battery pack into the holder or

when you take it out of the holder.

In order for the battery pack to be inserted, the key 5 must be

inserted into the lock 6 and the lock must be unlocked.

To insert the standard battery pack 8, place it with the con-

tacts on the lower holder 9 on the eBike (the battery pack can

be inclined up to 7° to the frame). Tilt it into the upper holder

7 until it engages.

To insert the rack-type battery pack 2, slide it with the con-

tacts facing ahead until it engages in the holder 1 of the rear

rack/carrier.

Check if the battery pack is tightly seated. Always lock the

battery pack with lock 6, as otherwise the lock can open and

the battery pack could fall out of the holder.

After locking, always remove the key 5 from the lock 6. This

prevents the key from falling out and the battery pack from

being removed from unauthorised persons when the eBike is

parked.

To remove the standard battery pack 8, switch it off and un-

lock the lock with the key 5. Tilt the battery pack out of the up-

per holder 7 and pull it out of the lower holder 9.

To remove the rack-type battery pack 2, switch it off and

unlock the lock with the key 5. Pull the battery pack out of the

holder 1.

Operation

Initial Operation

 Use only original Bosch battery packs approved for

your eBike by the manufacturer. Using other battery

packs can lead to injuries and pose a fire hazard. When us-

ing other battery packs, Bosch shall not assume any liabil-

ity and warranty.

Switching On and Off

Switching on the battery pack is one of the ways of switching on

the eBike system. When doing so, read and observe the operat-

ing instructions of the drive unit and on-board computer.

Before switching on the battery pack or the eBike system,

check that the lock 6 is locked.

To switch on the battery pack, press the On/Off button 4. The

LEDs of indicator 3 light up and at the same time indicate the

charge condition.

Note: If the capacity of the battery pack is below 5 %, no LED

on the charge-control indicator 3 lights up. It is only visible on

the on-board computer, if the eBike system is switched on.

To switch off the battery pack, press the On/Off button 4

again. The LEDs of indicator 3 go out. This also switches off

the eBike system.

If no power is drawn from the eBike drive for about 10 min-

utes (e.g. because the eBike is not moving) and no button is

pressed on the on-board computer or the operating unit of the

eBike, the eBike system and therefore also the battery pack

will shut down automatically to save energy.

The battery pack is protected against deep discharging, over-

charging, overheating and short-circuiting through the “Elec-

tronic Cell Protection (ECP)”. In case of hazardous situations,

a protective circuit automatically switches off the battery

pack.

When a defect of the battery

pack is detected, two LEDs of

the charge-control indicator 3

flash. In this case, please refer

to an authorised Bosch eBike

dealer.

Notes for Optimum Handling of the Battery Pack

The battery-pack life can be prolonged when being properly

maintained and especially when being operated and stored at

the right temperatures.

With increasing age, however, the battery-pack capacity will

diminish, even when properly maintained.

A significantly reduced operating period after charging indi-

cates that the battery pack is worn out and must be replaced.

You can replace the battery pack yourself.

Recharging the Battery Pack prior to and during Storage

When not using the battery pack for a longer period, charge it to

approx. 60 % (3 to 4 LEDs lit on the charge-control indicator 3).

Check the charge condition after 6 months. When only one

LED of the charge-control indicator 3 lights up, recharge the

battery pack again approx. 60 %.

Note: When the battery pack is stored discharged (empty) for

longer periods, it can become damaged despite the low self-

discharging feature and the battery-pack capacity may be

strongly reduced.

It is not recommended to have the battery pack connected

permanently to the charger.

Storage Conditions

Store the battery pack in a dry, well-ventilated location. Pro-

tect the battery pack against moisture and water. Under unfa-

vourable weather conditions, it is recommended e.g. to re-

move the battery pack from the eBike and store it in an

enclosed location until being used again.

The battery pack can be stored at temperatures between

–10 °C and +60 °C. For a long battery-pack life, however,

storing the battery pack at a room temperature of approx.

20 °C is of advantage.

Take care that the maximal storage temperature is not ex-

ceeded. As an example, do not leave the battery pack in a ve-

hicle in summer and store it out of direct sunlight.

It is recommended to not store the battery pack on the bike.

Maintenance and Service

Maintenance and Cleaning

Keep the battery clean. Clean it carefully with a soft, damp cloth.

 The battery must not be submerged in water or cleaned

using a jet of water.

When the battery pack is no longer operative, please refer to

an authorised Bosch eBike dealer.

After-sales Service and Application Service

In case of questions concerning the battery packs, please re-

fer to an authorised bicycle dealer.

 Note down the manufacturer and the number of the key

5. In case of loss of the keys, please refer to an authorised

bicycle dealer. Please provide the name of the manufactur-

er and the number of the key.

Transport

 If you carry your eBike outside of your car, e.g. on a lug-

gage rack, remove the eBike battery pack in order to

avoid damaging it.

The battery packs are subject to the Dangerous Goods Legis-

lation requirements. Private users can transport undamaged

battery packs by road without further requirements.

When being transported by commercial users or third parties

(e.g. air transport or forwarding agency), special require-

ments on packaging and labelling must be observed (e.g. ADR

regulations). If necessary, an expert for hazardous materials

can be consulted when preparing the item for shipping.

Dispatch battery packs only when the housing is undamaged.

Tape or mask off open contacts and pack up the battery pack

in such a manner that it cannot move around in the packaging.

Inform your parcel service that the package contains danger-

ous goods. Please also observe the possibility of more de-

tailed national regulations.

In case of questions concerning transport of the battery

packs, please refer to an authorised Bosch eBike dealer. The

Bosch eBike dealers can also provide suitable transport pack-

aging.

Disposal

Battery packs, accessories and packaging should be

sorted for environmental-friendly recycling.

Do not dispose of the battery packs into household waste!

Tape or mask off the contact surfaces of the battery pack’s

terminals with adhesive tape before disposing of battery

packs.

Only for EC countries:

According to the European Guideline

2012/19/EU, electrical devices/tools that are

no longer usable, and according to the European

Guideline 2006/66/EC, defective or used bat-

tery packs/batteries, must be collected sepa-
