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 period after charg-

and must be replaced. You can replace it yourself by
purchasing a genuine Bosch PowerPack from an au-

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 (3) are lit).
Check the state of charge after six months. If only one
of the LEDs on the battery charge indicator (3) 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.
