Operation - Bosch PowerMore 250 Owner's Manual

Start-up
Use only original Bosch eBike batteries from the
u
system generation the smart system that the
manufacturer has approved for your eBike. Us-
ing other eBike batteries can lead to injuries and
pose a fire hazard. Bosch accepts no liability or
warranty claims if other eBike batteries are used.
Note: The drive performance may be reduced when
using solely the PowerMore battery.
Switching on/off
Switching on the eBike battery is one way to switch
on the eBike. To do this, read and follow the instruc-
tions in the operating manuals for the drive unit and
operating unit.
Once the PowerMore battery is connected to the
eBike via the PowerMore cable, the eBike can be
switched on/off via the on/off button (5). Do not use
sharp or pointed objects to press the button.
To switch off the eBike battery, press the on/off but-
ton (5) again. This will also switch the eBike off.
If no power is drawn from the 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 will switch off
automatically.
The eBike battery is protected against deep dis-
charge, overloading, overheating and short-circuiting
by the Battery Management System (BMS). In the
event of danger, a protective circuit switches the
eBike battery off automatically.

Operation

If a fault is detected in the
eBike battery, two of the
LEDs on the battery
charge indicator (2) will
flash. Contact an autho-
rized bicycle dealer if this
happens.
Recommendations for Optimal Handling of
the eBike Battery
The service life of the eBike battery can be extended
if it is looked after well and especially if it is stored at
the correct temperature.
As it ages, however, the capacity of the eBike battery
will diminish, even with good care.
A significantly reduced operating time after charging
indicates that the eBike battery has deteriorated. The
eBike battery should be replaced.
Recharging the eBike Battery Before and During
Storage
When you are not going to use the eBike battery for
an extended period (longer than three months), store
it at a state of charge of around 30 % to 60 % (when
two to three of the LEDs on the battery charge indica-
tor (2) are lit).
Check the state of charge after six months. If only one
of the LEDs on the battery charge indicator (2) is lit,
charge the eBike battery back up to around 30 % to
60 %.
Note: If the eBike battery is stored with no charge for
an extended period of time, it may become damaged
despite the low self-discharge and the battery capac-
ity could be significantly reduced.
Leaving the eBike battery permanently connected to
the charger is not recommended.
Storage conditions
If possible, store the eBike battery in a dry, well-venti-
lated place. Protect it against moisture and water.
When the weather conditions are bad, it is advisable
to remove the eBike battery from the eBike and store
it in a closed room, for example, until you use it next.
Do not store the eBike battery in the following loca-
tions:
– in areas without smoke alarms
– near combustible or easily flammable objects
– near heat sources
– in locked vehicles (especially in the summer)
