Inserting and Removing the Battery
(see figures E–F)
Always switch the battery off when insert-
ing or removing it from the holder. When
the battery is inserted yet empty, please al-
so observe the drive HMI indication. Other-
wise, the battery can become damaged.
In order for the battery to be inserted, the key
17 must be inserted into the lock 18 and the
lock must be unlocked.
To insert the standard battery 20, place it via
the contacts onto the bottom holder 21 on the
eBike. Pivot the battery to the stop into the up-
per holder 19.
To insert the rear rack battery 14, slide it for-
wards with the contacts facing ahead until it en-
gages in holder 13 on the rear rack.
Check if the battery is tightly seated. Always
lock the battery with lock 18, as otherwise the
lock can open and the battery can fall out of the
holder.
After locking, always remove the key 17 from the
lock 18. This prevents the key from falling out
and the battery from being removed from unau-
thorised persons when the eBike is parked.
To remove the standard battery 20, switch it
off and unlock the lock with the key 17. Pivot the
battery out of the upper holder 19 and pull it by
the carrying strap 22 out of the bottom holder
21.
To remove the rear rack battery 14, switch it
off and unlock the lock with the key 17. Pull the
battery out of the holder 13.
Bosch eBike Systems
Operation
Initial Operation
Use only original Bosch batteries approved
for your eBike by the manufacturer. Using
other batteries can lead to injuries and pose
a fire hazard. When using other batteries,
Bosch shall not assume any liability and war-
ranty.
Switching On and Off
Before switching on the battery, check that the
lock 18 is locked.
Note: When switching on the battery, the pedals
of the eBike may not be subject to load, as oth-
erwise the output capacity of the drive will be
limited.
To switch on the battery, press the On/Off but-
ton 16. The LEDs of indicator 15 light up and at
the same time indicate the charge condition.
Note: When the battery capacity is below 5 %,
none of the LEDs of charge-control indicator 15
will light up. Only the drive HMI will indicate if
the battery is switched on.
Switching on the battery is one of the require-
ments for starting up the eBike drive. Read and
observe the operating instructions of the drive
unit and the drive HMI.
To switch off the battery, press the On/Off but-
ton 16 again. The LEDs of indicator 15 go out.
This also switches off the eBike drive.
When no power output of the drive is requested
for approx. 10 minutes, (e.g., because the eBike
is parked), the battery automatically switches
off to save energy.
The battery is protected against deep discharg-
ing, overcharging, overheating and short-circuit-
ing through the "Electronic Cell Protection
(ECP)". In case of hazardous situations, a pro-
tective circuit automatically switches off the
battery.
