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.
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-cir-
cuiting (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
(see figures A–B)
Always switch off the battery pack and the eBike sys-
tem when you insert the battery pack into the holder or
when you take it out of the holder.
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.
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.
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 un-
lock the lock with the key 5. Tilt the battery pack out of the up-
per holder 7 and pull it out of the lower holder 9.
To remove the rack-type battery pack 2, switch it off and
unlock the lock with the key 5. Pull the battery pack out of the
holder 1.
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 us-
ing other battery packs, Bosch shall not assume any liabil-
ity 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 operat-
ing instructions of the drive unit and on-board computer.
Before switching on the battery pack or the eBike system,
check that the lock 6 is locked.
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 "Elec-
tronic Cell Protection (ECP)". In case of hazardous situations,
a protective circuit automatically switches off the battery
pack.
When a defect of the battery
pack is detected, two LEDs of
the charge-control indicator 3
flash. In this case, please refer
to an authorised Bosch eBike
dealer.
