Drive Overheat Protection; Rechargeable Battery - Bosch Performance Line User Manual

Notes

Drive overheat protection

CAUTION
Risk of injury!
The drive and rechargeable battery can become very hot
if a fault is at hand. You could injure yourself in the event
of contact with your skin.
• Do not touch the drive and the rechargeable battery.
The drive is automatically protected against damage caused by
overheating. If the temperature of the drive is too high, the drive
will automatically switch off.
• To prevent the drive from overheating, set a low level of assis-
tance at high outdoor temperatures or roads or paths with a
substantial incline (see chapter "Operation» E-bike > Setting
the level of assistance").
• If the drive is switched off when the rechargeable battery is
charged and at a speed of under 25 km/h, do not use the e-bike
temporarily to allow the drive to cool off.
• If allowing the drive to cool off does not resolve the disturbance,
have your specialist bike dealer inspect the e-bike.

Rechargeable battery

Your e-bike is equipped with a high-quality lithium-ion recharge-
able battery (Li-ion rechargeable battery). Li-ion rechargeable
batteries are safe if used properly.
Li-ion rechargeable batteries have a relatively high energy den-
sity. Therefore, this rechargeable battery must be handled with
great care. For your safety, be absolutely sure to observe the
following notes to ensure reliable operation and a long life-cycle:
Partial charging does not damage the rechargeable battery as
it does not have a memory effect. Partial charging is evaluated
according to its capacitance (a charge of 50 % corresponds to
½ charge cycle).
NOTICE
Risk of damage!
Self-discharge of the rechargeable battery for technical
reasons may cause irreparable damages.
• Immediately recharge the rechargeable battery if empty.
• Take note of the temperature limits of the rechargeable battery
(see chapter "Technical data").
• Please note that outside temperatures under +10 °C may
reduce the power of the rechargeable battery.
• Keep in mind that the output of the rechargeable battery
may begin to decline after 500 complete charging processes
(charging cycles).
• Keep in mind that you will get used to cycling with electrical
assistance after a while. This may result in a perceived drop in
the output of the rechargeable battery.
• If there is a loss of power or the operating time is significantly
reduced, contact your specialist dealer.
