Charging the Battery Pack
Use only the Bosch charger provided with your eBike or
an identical original Bosch charger. Only this charger is
matched to the lithium-ion battery pack used in your eBike.
Note: The battery pack is supplied partially charged. To en-
sure full battery pack capacity, completely charge the battery
pack in the charger before using for the first time.
For charging the battery pack, read and observe the operating
instructions of the charger.
The battery can be charged at any level of charge. Interrupting
the charging process does not damage the battery pack.
The battery pack is equipped with a temperature control indi-
cator, which enables charging only within a temperature
range between 0 °C and 40 °C.
When the battery pack is not
within the charging-tempera-
ture range, three LEDs of the
charge-control indicator 3
flash. Disconnect the battery
pack from the charger until its
temperature has adjusted.
Do not connect the battery pack to the charger until it has
reached the allowable charging temperature.
Charge-control Indicator
When the battery pack is switched on, the five green LEDs of
the charge-control indicator 3 indicate the charge condition
of the battery pack.
In this, each LED indicates approx. 20 % capacity. When the
battery pack is completely charged, all five LEDs light up.
The charge level of the switched on battery pack is also shown
on the display of the on-board computer. When doing so, read
and observe the operating instructions of the drive unit and
on-board computer.
If the capacity of the battery pack is below 5 %, all LEDs of the
charge-control indicator 3 on the battery pack go out. How-
ever there is another display function of the on-board
computer.
After charging, disconnect the battery from the charger and
the charger from the network.
Using Two Battery Packs for One eBike (optional)
An eBike can also be equipped with two battery packs by the
manufacturer. In this case, one of the charge sockets is not
accessible or is sealed by the bicycle manufacturer with a
sealing cap. Charge the battery packs only at the accessible
charge socket.
Never open charge sockets that have been sealed by
the manufacturer. Charging at a previously sealed charge
socket can lead to irreparable damage.
Bosch eBike Systems
If you have an eBike that is designed for two battery packs and
you want to use it with only battery pack, cover off the con-
tacts of the unused socket using the cover lid 10 provided be-
cause otherwise the open contacts pose a risk of short-
circuiting (see figures A and B).
Charging with Two Battery Packs Inserted
If two battery packs are mounted on one eBike, both battery
packs can be charged using the unsealed connection. The
charging process will charge both battery packs alternately,
automatically switching between both battery packs numer-
ous times. The charging times add up.
Both battery packs are also discharged alternately during
operation.
If you take the battery packs out of the holders, you can
charge each battery pack individually.
Charging with One Battery Pack Inserted
If only one battery pack is inserted, then you can charge only
the battery pack that has the accessible charge socket on the
bike. You can charge the battery pack with the sealed charge
socket only when you take the battery pack out of the holder.
Inserting and removing the battery pack
Always switch off the battery pack and the eBike
system when you insert the battery pack into the
holder or when you take it out of the holder.
Inserting and removing a standard battery (see figure A)
In order for the battery pack to be inserted, the key 5 must be
inserted into the lock 6 and the lock must be unlocked.
To insert the standard battery pack 8, place it with the con-
tacts on the lower holder 9 on the eBike (the battery pack can
be inclined up to 7° to the frame). Tilt it into the upper holder
7 until it engages.
Check if the battery pack is tightly seated. Always lock the
battery pack with lock 6, as otherwise the lock can open and
the battery pack could fall out of the holder.
After locking, always remove the key 5 from the lock 6. This
prevents the key from falling out and the battery pack from
being removed from unauthorised persons when the eBike is
parked.
To remove the standard battery pack 8, switch it off and
unlock the lock with the key 5. Tilt the battery pack out of the
upper holder 7 and pull it out of the lower holder 9.
Inserting and removing a rack battery (see figure B)
In order for the battery pack to be inserted, the key 5 must be
inserted into the lock 6 and the lock must be unlocked.
To insert the rack-type battery pack 2, slide it with the con-
tacts facing ahead until it engages in the holder 1 of the rear
rack/carrier.
Check if the battery pack is tightly seated. Always lock the
battery pack with lock 6, as otherwise the lock can open and
the battery pack could fall out of the holder.
