General warnings
WARNING
!
Risk of fire and explosion due to faulty battery
The safety electronics on a damaged or faulty
battery may fail. The residual voltage can cause a
short circuit. The battery may self-ignite and
explode.
Remove batteries with external damage from
service immediately and never charge them.
Only operate the battery and accessories if
they are in perfect condition.
Only use batteries which are approved for use
on your pedelec.
Do not use the battery with defective
connecting cables or defective contacts.
Use the battery with BOSCH Systems
pedelecs only. This is the only way that the
battery will be protected from dangerous
overloading.
If the battery becomes deformed or begins to
smoke, keep at a safe distance, disconnect the
power supply at the socket, and notify the fire
service immediately.
Never extinguish a damaged battery with
water or allow it to come into contact with
water.
If a battery is dropped or struck but shows no
signs of external damage, remove it from
service and observe it for at least 24 hours.
Faulty batteries are hazardous goods.
Dispose of faulty batteries properly and as
quickly as possible.
Store in a dry place until disposal. Never store
in the vicinity of flammable substances.
Never open or repair the battery.
Charge the battery before use. Only use the
charger included in the scope of delivery.

CAUTION
!
Electric shock in case of damage
Damaged chargers, cables and plug connectors
increase the risk of electric shock.
Check the charger, cable and plug connector
before each use. Never use a damaged
charger.
Risk of fire and explosion due to short circuit
Small metal objects may jumper the electrical
connections of the battery. The battery may self-
ignite and explode.
Keep paper clips, screws, coins, keys and
other small parts away and do not insert them
into the battery.
Risk of fire and explosion due to incorrect
charger
Batteries which are recharged with an unsuitable
charger may become damaged internally. This
may result in fire or an explosion.
Only ever use the battery with the supplied
charger.
Mark the supplied charger clearly to prevent
mix-ups – with the pedelec frame number or
type number, for example.
Risk of fire and explosion due to penetration by
water
The battery is only protected from simple spray
water. Penetration by water can cause a short
circuit. The battery may self-ignite and explode.
Never immerse the battery in water.
If there is reason to believe that water may
have entered into the battery, the battery must
be removed from service.
