To remove the rack-mounted battery (2), switch it off and
open the lock using the key (5). Pull the battery out of the
holder (1).
Removing the PowerTube battery (see figure C)
❶ To remove the PowerTube battery (15), open the lock
(6) using the key (5). The battery will be unlocked and
fall into the safety restraint (14).
❷ 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.
Note: As a result of varying designs, the battery may need
to be inserted and removed using a different method. In this
case, consult the bicycle documentation provided by your
bicycle manufacturer.
Inserting the PowerTube battery (see figure D)
In order for the battery to be inserted, the key (5) must be
inserted into the lock (6) and the lock must be open.
❶ To insert the PowerTube battery (15), place it so that
its contacts are in the lower holder of the frame.
❷ Push the battery upwards until it is held by the safety
restraint (14).
❸ Hold the lock open with the key and press the battery
upwards until you hear it click into place. Check that
the battery is secure in all directions.
❹ Always secure 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 locking 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.
Operation
Start-up
Use only original Bosch batteries that the manufac-
u
turer has approved for your eBike. Using other batter-
ies can lead to injuries and pose a fire hazard. Bosch ac-
cepts no liability or warranty claims if other batteries are
used.
Switching on/off
Switching on the battery is one way to switch on the eBike
system. Read and follow the instructions in the operating
manuals for the drive unit and on-board computer.
Before switching on the battery, i.e. the eBike system, make
sure that the lock (6) is closed.
To switch on the battery, press the on/off button (4). Do not
use any sharp or pointed objects to press the button. The
LEDs on the indicator (3) will light up, indicating the bat-
tery's state of charge at the same time.
Note: If the battery capacity is less than 5 %, none of the
LEDs on the battery charge indicator (3) will light up.
Whether the eBike system is switched on is only visible on
the on-board computer.

To switch off the battery, press the on/off button (4) again.
The LEDs on the indicator (3) will go out. This will also
switch the eBike system off.
If no power is drawn from the eBike drive for about
10 minutes (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, will switch off automatically to save energy.
The battery is protected against deep discharge, overload-
ing, overheating and short-circuiting by the "Electronic Cell
Protection (ECP)". In the event of danger, a protective cir-
cuit switches the battery off automatically.
Recommendations for optimal handling of the
battery
The service life of the battery can be extended if it is looked
after well and especially if it is stored at the correct temper-
ature.
As it ages, however, the capacity of the battery will diminish,
even with good care.
A significantly reduced operating time after charging indic-
ates that the battery has deteriorated. You can replace the
battery.
Recharging the battery before and during storage
When you are not going to use the battery for an extended
period (longer than three months), store it at a state of
charge of around 30 % to 60 % (when two to three of the
LEDs on the battery charge indicator (3) are lit).
Check the state of charge after six months. If only one of the
LEDs on the battery charge indicator (3) is lit, charge the
battery back up to around 30 % to 60 %.
Note: If the battery is stored with no charge for an extended
period of time, it may become damaged despite the low self-
discharge and the battery capacity could be significantly re-
duced.
Leaving the battery permanently connected to the charger is
not recommended.
Storage conditions
If possible, store the battery in a dry, well-ventilated place.
Protect it against moisture and water. When the weather
conditions are bad, it is advisable to remove the battery from
the eBike and store it in a closed room until you use it next,
for example.
Store the eBike batteries in the following locations:
– In a room with a smoke alarm
– Away from combustible or easily flammable objects
– Away from heat sources
Store the batteries at temperatures between 0 °C and
20 °C. Never store them at temperatures below –10 °C or
If a fault is detected in the
battery, two of the LEDs on
the battery charge indicator
(3) will flash. Contact an au-
thorised bicycle dealer if this
happens.
