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

holder 1.

this case, consult the bicycle documentation provided by

your bicycle manufacturer.

prevents the key from falling out and the battery pack from

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

using other battery packs, Bosch shall not assume any

liability 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

operating instructions of the drive unit and on-board com-

puter.

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

“Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)”. In case of hazardous situa-

tions, 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 indi-

cator 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.

To remove the PowerTube frame battery, 15 open the

lock 6 using the key 5. The battery will be unlocked and

fall into the safety restraint 14.

Press on the safety restraint from above. The battery will

be unlocked completely and fall into your hand. Pull the

battery out of the frame.

To insert the PowerTube frame battery, 15 place it so that

its contacts are in the lower bracket of the frame.

Push the battery upwards until it is held by the safety

restraint 14.

Press the battery upwards until you hear it engage. Check

that the battery is secure.

 Always secure the battery by closing the lock 6 – other-

wise, the lock may open and the battery may fall out of the

bracket.
