If at least one (but not all) of the LEDs on the battery charge

indicator (3) lights up, the battery will need to be fully

charged before using it for the first time.

uDo not charge or use batteries if they are damaged.

Contact an authorised bicycle dealer.

Charging the battery

uA Bosch eBike battery must only be charged using an

original Bosch eBike charger.

Note: The battery is supplied partially charged. To ensure

full battery capacity, fully charge the battery in the charger

before using it for the first time.

To charge the battery, read and follow the instructions in the

operating manual for the charger.

The battery can be charged at any state of charge. Interrupt-

ing the charging process does not damage the battery.

The battery has a temperature monitoring function which

only allows it to be charged within a temperature range of

0°C to 40°C.

If the temperature of the bat-

tery is outside this charging

range, three of the LEDs on

the battery charge indicator

(3) will flash. Disconnect the

battery from the charger and

let it acclimatise.

Do not reconnect the battery to the charger until it has

reached the correct charging temperature.

Battery charge indicator

The five green LEDs on the battery charge indicator (3) in-

dicate the battery's state of charge of when the battery is

switched on.

Each LED represents approximately 20% of the charging ca-

pacity. When the battery is fully charged, all five LEDs will be

lit.

The battery's state of charge when switched on is also shown

on the display of the on-board computer. Read and follow

the instructions in the operating manuals for the drive unit

and on-board computer.

If the battery capacity is less than 5%, all the LEDs on the

battery charge indicator (3) on the battery will go out. The

display function of the on-board computer, however, will

carry on working.

Once charging is complete, disconnect the battery from the

charger and the charger from the mains.

Using two batteries for one eBike (optional)

The manufacturer can also equip an eBike with two batter-

ies. In this case, one of the charging sockets will not be ac-

cessible or it will have been sealed with a sealing cap by the

bicycle manufacturer. Only charge the batteries via the char-

ging socket that is accessible.

uNever open charging sockets that have been sealed by

the manufacturer. Charging batteries via a charging

socket that used to be sealed may cause irreparable dam-

age.

If you want to use an eBike that is designed for two batteries

with only one battery, cover the contacts of the unused

socket using the cover (10) provided. Otherwise there is a

risk that the exposed contacts will cause a short circuit (see

figures A and B).

Charging process for two batteries

If two batteries are fitted to an eBike, both batteries can be

charged using the uncovered connection. To begin with,

both batteries are charged one after the other until they

reach approx.80–90% capacity, then they are both fully

charged at the same time (the LEDs flash on both batteries).

When the bike is in operation, power is drawn from both bat-

teries on an alternating basis.

If you take the batteries out of the holders, you can charge

each one individually.

Charging with one battery fitted

If only one battery is fitted, you can only charge the battery

that has the accessible charging socket on the bike. You can

only charge the battery with the sealed charging socket if

you take the battery out of the holder.

Inserting and removing the battery

uAlways switch off the battery and the eBike system

when inserting the battery into the holder or remov-

ing it from the holder.

Inserting and removing the standard battery

(seefigureA)

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

inserted into the lock (6) and the lock must be open.

To insert the standard battery (8), place it onto the con-

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

be titled towards the frame by up to 7°). Tilt it into the upper

holder (7) as far as possible until you hear it click into place.

Check that the battery is secure in all directions. Always se-

cure the battery by closing the lock (6) – otherwise the lock

may open and the battery may fall out of the holder.

Always remove the key (5) from the lock (6) after closing it.

This prevents both the key from falling out and the battery

from being removed by unauthorised third parties when the

eBike is not in use.

To remove the standard battery (8), switch it off and open

the lock using the key (5). Tilt the battery out of the upper

holder (7) and pull it out of the lower holder (9).

Inserting and removing the rack-mounted battery (see

figureB)

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

inserted into the lock (6) and the lock must be open.

To insert the rack-mounted battery (2), slide it contacts-

first into the holder (1) on the rack until you hear it click into

place.

Check that the battery is secure in all directions. Always se-

cure the battery by closing the lock (6) – otherwise the lock

may open and the battery may fall out of the holder.

Always remove the key (5) from the lock (6) after closing it.

This prevents both the key from falling out and the battery
