Handling the lithium-ion battery pack
Safety warnings for Bosch eBike batteries
Read and understand all safety warn-
ings and instructions. Failure to follow
the below warnings could result in death or serious in-
jury.
Save all safety warnings and instructions for fu-
ture reference.
The term battery pack used in these operating in-
structions refers to all original Bosch eBike battery
packs.
DANGER
u Do not puncture or crush the battery pack. Do
not impact the battery pack or modify it in any
way. Do not use the battery pack if it shows visible
damage. Danger of fire or explosion which can
cause death or serious injury.
Protect the battery pack against heat
(e.g., temperature >140°F), fire and
immersing into water. Danger of ex-
plosion.
WARNING
u Use only original Bosch battery packs approved
for your eBike by the manufacturer and pur-
chased from a credible source. Use of non-ap-
proved or counterfeit battery packs can lead to
death or serious injury.
u Remove the battery from the eBike before be-
ginning work (e.g. inspection, repair, assembly,
maintenance, work on the chain, etc.) on the
eBike, transporting it with a car or airplane, or
storing it. Unintentional activation of the eBike
system poses a risk of injury.
u Do not open the battery. There is a risk of short-
circuiting. Opening the battery voids any and all
warranty claims.
u When the battery is not in use, keep it away
from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or
other small metal objects that could make a con-
nection from one terminal to another. A short cir-
cuit 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.
u Avoid mechanical loads and exposure to high
temperatures. These can damage the battery cells
and cause the flammable contents to leak out.
u Do not place the charger or the battery near
flammable materials. Ensure the battery is com-
pletely dry and placed on a fireproof surface be-
fore charging. There is a risk of fire due to the heat
generated during charging.
u The eBike battery must not be left unattended
while charging.
u If used incorrectly, liquid may leak from the bat-
tery. Contact with this liquid should be avoided.
If contact occurs, rinse off with water. If the liq-
uid comes into contact with your eyes, seek ad-
ditional medical attention. Liquid leaking from the
battery may cause irritation or scalding.
u Batteries must not be subjected to mechanical
shock. There is a risk of the battery being dam-
aged.
u The battery may give off fumes if it becomes
damaged or is used incorrectly. Ensure the area
is well ventilated and seek medical attention
should you experience any adverse effects. The
fumes may irritate the respiratory system.
u Only charge the battery using original Bosch
chargers. When using chargers that are not made
by Bosch, the risk of fire cannot be excluded.
