low self-discharge and the battery capacity could be signific-
antly 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-ventilated
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 locations:
– in areas without smoke alarms
– near combustible or easily flammable objects
– near heat sources
– in locked vehicles (especially in the summer)
– in direct sunlight
To ensure an optimum service life, store the eBike batteries
at room temperature.
Never store them at temperatures below −10 °C or
above 60 °C.
Make sure that the maximum storage temperature is not ex-
ceeded.
Leaving the eBike battery on the eBike for storage is not re-
commended.
Action in the event of a fault
The eBike battery must not be opened, not even for repairs.
There is a risk of the eBike battery catching fire, e.g. as a res-
ult of a short circuit. This risk continues to apply for any
Bosch eBike battery that has ever been opened, even at a
later point in time.
In the event of a fault, do not have your eBike battery re-
paired; instead, have your bicycle retailer replace it with an
original Bosch eBike battery of the smart system generation
of systems.

Transport
If you transport your eBike attached to the outside of
u
your car, e.g. on a bike rack, remove the on-board
computer and the eBike battery (exception: built-in
eBike battery) to avoid damaging them.
The eBike batteries are subject to legislation on the trans-
port of dangerous goods. Private users can transport un-
damaged eBike batteries by road without having to comply
with additional requirements.
When batteries are transported by commercial users or third
parties (e.g. air transport or forwarding agency), special re-
quirements on packaging and labelling (e.g. ADR regula-
tions) must be met. When preparing items for shipping, a
dangerous goods expert can be consulted as required.
Do not ship batteries if the housing is damaged or the eBike
battery is not fully functional. Use only the original Bosch
eBike battery packaging when transporting the eBike bat-
tery. Apply tape over exposed contacts and pack the eBike
battery such that it cannot move around inside the pack-
aging. Inform your parcel service that the package contains
dangerous goods. Please also observe any additional na-
tional regulations should these exist.
If you have any questions about transporting the eBike bat-
teries, contact an authorised bicycle dealer. You can also or-
der suitable transport packaging from the dealer.

eBike batteries, accessories and packaging
should be recycled in an environmentally

Do not dispose of eBike batteries along with household
waste.
Apply tape over the contact surfaces of the battery terminals
before disposing of eBike batteries.
Old or defective eBike batteries can be handed in free of

mentally friendly recycling. Store defective eBike batteries
in a safe location outdoors and inform your specialist re-
tailer. Do not touch severely damaged eBike batteries with
your bare hands – electrolyte may escape and cause skin ir-
ritation.

tronic devices that are no longer usable and de-
fective/drained batteries must be collected
