Safety Instructions
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS –
This manual contains important safety and operat-
ing instructions for this battery charger.
uBefore using battery charger, read all instructions
and cautionary markings on battery charger, bat-
tery, and product using battery.
CAUTION
uTo reduce risk of injury, charge only batteries of
the Bosch eBike Systems. Other types of batter-
ies may burst causing personal injury and damage.
uRead and understand all safety warnings and in-
structions. Failure to follow the below warnings
could result in death or serious injury.
Save all safety warnings and instructions for fu-
ture reference.
The term eBike battery used in these operating in-
structions refers to all original Bosch eBike batteries.
DANGER
uOnly charge Bosch eBike lithium-ion battery
packs with approved Bosch eBike chargers. The
battery pack voltage must match the battery
pack charging voltage of the charger. Otherwise,
there is risk of fire and explosion.
Do not expose the charger to rain or
wet conditions. If water enters a charger,
there is a risk of electric shock.
uDo not charge or use your eBike in any area with
a potentially explosive atmosphere, such as at a
fueling area, or in areas where the air contains
chemicals or particles (such as grain, dust, or
metal powders). Obey all signs and instructions.
WARNING
uUse only the original Bosch battery charger sup-
plied with your eBike or one approved for your
eBike by the manufacturer and purchased from
a trusted source. Bypassing the battery charger or
the use of a non-approved or counterfeit battery
charger can lead to death or serious injury.
uKeep the battery charger clean. Contamination
can lead to the risk of an electric shock. Clean only
with the use of a damp cloth (mild soap/water).
uAlways check the charger, cable and plug before
use. Stop using the charger if you discover any
damage. Do not open the charger. Damaged
chargers, cables and plugs increase the risk of elec-
tric shock.
uDo not operate the charger on an easily ignited
surface (e.g. paper, textiles, etc.) or in a
flammable environment. There is a risk of fire due
to the charger heating up during operation.
uTake care if you touch the charger while it is
charging. Wear protective gloves. The charger
can get very hot, especially when the ambient tem-
perature is high.
uThe eBike battery may give off fumes if it be-
comes damaged or is used incorrectly. Ensure
the area is well ventilated and seek medical at-
tention should you experience any adverse ef-
fects. The fumes may irritate the respiratory sys-
tem.
uThe eBike battery must not be left unattended
while charging.
ueBike batteries must not be subjected to me-
chanical shock. There is a risk of the eBike battery
being damaged.
uKeep the battery charger away from children.
This will ensure that children do not play with the
charger.

uThere is a risk of fire due to the charger heating
up during charging. Ensure the eBike battery on
the eBike is completely dry and placed on a fire-
proof surface before charging. If this is not possi-
ble, remove the eBike battery from the holder and
charge it in a more suitable location. When doing
so, read and observe the operating instructions of
the eBike battery.
Charging Process for Two eBike Batteries
If two eBike batteries are fitted to an eBike, both
eBike batteries can be charged using the uncovered
connection. To begin with, both eBike batteries are
charged one after the other until they reach ap-
prox.80–90% capacity, then they are both fully
charged at the same time (the LEDs flash on both
eBike batteries).
When the bike is in operation, power is drawn from
both eBike batteries on an alternating basis.
If you take the eBike batteries out of the holders, you
can charge each one individually.
Charging process
The charging process begins as soon as the charger is
connected to the eBike battery or charging socket on
the eBike and to the mains.
Note: The charging process is only possible when the
temperature of the eBike battery is within the permit-
ted charging temperature range.
Note: The drive unit is deactivated during the charg-
ing process.
The eBike battery can be charged with and without
the on-board computer. When charging without the
on-board computer, the charging procedure can be
observed on the eBike battery charge indicator.
When the on-board computer is connected, a charg-
ing notification appears on the display.
The state of charge is displayed by the battery charge
indicator(9) on the eBike battery and by the bars on
the on-board computer.
The LEDs on the eBike battery charge indicator(9)
flash during the charging process. Each solid illumi-
nated LED represents approximately 20% of the
charging capacity. The flashing LED indicates the next
20% currently charging.
Once the eBike battery is fully charged, the LEDs ex-
tinguish immediately and the on-board computer is
0 275 U07 XCX | (15.03.2023) Bosch eBike Systems

switched off. The charging process is terminated. The
state of charge can be displayed for3 seconds by
pressing the on/off button(10) on the eBike battery.
Disconnect the charger from the mains and the eBike
battery from the charger.
When the battery is disconnected from the charger,
the eBike battery is automatically switched off.
Note: If you have charged the battery on the eBike,
carefully close the charging socket(6) with the
cover(7) after charging, so that no dirt or water can
get in.
If the charger is not disconnected from the eBike bat-
tery after charging, after a few hours the charger will
switch itself back on, check the state of charge of the
eBike battery and begin the charging procedure again
if necessary.
Maintenance/cleaning
