WARNING
 Your Bosch Drive System components are mainte-
nance-free. Do not open any of the components. Ser-
vice should only be carried out at an authorized Bosch
eBike dealer. Failure to follow the above warning may
result in death or serious injury. Refer to your bicycle
manual or component manual for all non-Bosch Drive
System components.
 Always remove the battery pack before performing
any bicycle inspection, maintenance or repair. Fail-
ure to remove the battery pack before performing bicy-
cle inspection, maintenance or repair can lead to seri-
ous injury.
 If replacing your battery, only buy a genuine Bosch
battery pack from an approved source. See your
Bosch eBike dealer for original Bosch parts.
 Always switch the battery pack off when inserting or
removing it from the holder. Never attempt to insert or
remove the battery pack while riding the bike.
 Do not charge or use your eBike in any area with a po-
tentially explosive atmosphere, such as at a fueling
area, or in areas where the air contains chemicals or
particles (such as grain, dust, or metal powders).
Obey all signs and follow all instructions.
 Do not submerge your eBike components in water,
or wash using a pressurized hose. Your Bosch drive
unit is designed to be water tight in regards to rain water
and non-pressurized hose washing.

key. In case the keys are lost, please contact an autho-
rized Bosch eBike dealer. Please provide the name of
the manufacturer and the number of the key.

Storing
Notes for Optimum Handling of the Battery
Pack
The battery pack life can be extended if properly main-
tained and especially if operated and stored at the right
temperatures.
With increasing age, however, the battery pack capacity
will diminish, even if properly maintained.
A significantly reduced operating period after charging in-
dicates that the battery pack is worn out and must be re-
placed. You can replace it yourself by purchasing a genuine
Bosch PowerPack from an authorized Bosch eBike dealer.
Recharging the Battery Pack Before 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 in-
dicator 3).
Check the charge condition after 6 months. When only one
LED on the charge-control indicator 3 lights up, recharge
the battery pack again to 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.
Protect the battery pack against moisture and water. Under
unfavorable weather conditions, it is recommended e. g.,
to remove the battery pack from the eBike and store it in an
enclosed location until it is used again.
The battery pack can be stored at temperatures between
+14 °F and +140 °F. However, storing the battery pack at
the optimal temperature of 68 °F will provide the longer
battery life.
Make sure that the maximum storage temperature is not ex-
ceeded. As an example, store the battery pack out of direct
sunlight and do not leave it in a vehicle during the summer.
It is recommended to not store the battery pack on the bike.
