Operation

Initial Operation

 Use only original Bosch battery packs approved for
your eBike by the manufacturer. Using other battery
packs can lead to injuries and pose a fire hazard. When
using other battery packs, Bosch shall not assume any
liability and warranty.
Switching On and Off
Switching on the battery pack is one of the ways of switching
on the eBike system. When doing so, read and observe the
operating instructions of the drive unit and on-board com-
puter.
Before switching on the battery pack or the eBike system,
check that the lock 6 is locked.
0 275 007 XPX | (4.5.17)
To switch on the battery pack, press the On/Off button 4. The
LEDs of indicator 3 light up and at the same time indicate the
charge condition.
Note: If the capacity of the battery pack is below 5 %, no LED
on the charge-control indicator 3 lights up. It is only visible on
the on-board computer, if the eBike system is switched on.
To switch off the battery pack, press the On/Off button 4
again. The LEDs of indicator 3 go out. This also switches off
the eBike system.
If no power is drawn from the eBike drive for about 10 min-
utes (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 pack
will shut down automatically to save energy.
The battery pack is protected against deep discharging, over-
charging, overheating and short-circuiting through the
"Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)". In case of hazardous situa-
tions, a protective circuit automatically switches off the
battery pack.
Notes for Optimum Handling of the Battery Pack
The battery-pack life can be prolonged when being properly
maintained and especially when being operated and stored at
the right temperatures.
With increasing age, however, the battery-pack capacity will
diminish, even when properly maintained.
A significantly reduced operating period after charging indi-
cates that the battery pack is worn out and must be replaced.
You can replace the battery pack yourself.
Recharging the Battery Pack prior to 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 indi-
cator 3).
Check the charge condition after 6 months. When only one
LED of the charge-control indicator 3 lights up, recharge the
battery pack again 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.
