Handling the lithium-ion battery pack "PowerPack"

Safety warnings for eBike batteries

Save all safety warnings and instructions for future
reference.
The term "battery pack" used in these operating instruc-
tions refers both to standard battery packs (battery packs
with holder on the bike frame) and to rack-type battery
packs (battery packs with holder in the rear rack/carrier),
except when explicitly referring to the design type.
DANGER
 Do not puncture or crush the battery pack. Do sub-
ject the battery pack to mechanical impacts or modi-
fy it in any way. Do not use the battery pack if it shows
visible damage. Otherwise, there is the risk of a fire or an
explosion, which can cause death or serious injury.
Protect the battery pack against heat (e.g., tem-
perature > 140 °F), fire and immersing into wa-
max.140°F
ter. Otherwise, there is the risk of an explosion.
WARNING
 Use only original Bosch battery packs approved for
your eBike by the manufacturer and purchased from
a trusted source. Use of non-approved or counterfeit
battery packs can lead to death or serious injury.
 Remove the battery pack from the eBike before be-
ginning work (e.g. inspection, repair, assembly,
maintenance, work on the chain, etc.) on the eBike,
transporting it by car or plane, or storing it. Uninten-
tional activation of the eBike system poses a risk of
injury.
 Do not open the battery pack. There is a risk of a short
circuit. Opening the battery pack voids any and all war-
ranty claims.
 If it is not being used, keep the battery pack away
from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other
small metal objects that can make a connection from
one terminal to another. Shorting the battery pack ter-
minals together may cause burns or a fire. For any dam-
age caused by shorting the terminals in this way, any
and all warranty claims through Bosch shall be invalid.

 If it is abused, then liquid may be ejected from the
battery pack. Avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, ad-
ditionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery pack may cause skin irritations or burns.
 Battery packs must not be subjected to mechanical
impacts. There is a risk that the battery pack will be
damaged causing vapors to escape. The vapors can irri-
tate the respiratory system. Provide for fresh air and
seek medical attention in case of complaints.
 The battery may give off fumes if it becomes dam-
aged or is used incorrectly. Provide a fresh air supply
and seek medical advice in the event of pain or dis-
comfort of being exposed to these fumes. These
fumes may irritate the respiratory tract.
 Charge the battery pack only with original Bosch
battery chargers. When using non-original Bosch char-
gers, the risk of fire cannot be excluded.
 Use the battery pack only together with eBikes that
have an original Bosch eBike drive system. This is the
only way to protect the battery pack against dangerous
overload.
 Use only original Bosch battery packs approved for
your eBike by the manufacturer. Using other battery
packs can lead to injuries and pose a fire hazard. When
using other battery packs, the warranty is void and
Bosch shall not assume any liability.
 Do not use the rack-type battery pack as a handle.
Lifting the eBike up by the battery pack can cause dam-
age to the battery pack.
 Read and observe the safety warnings and instruc-
tions in all operating instructions of the eBike sys-
tem and your eBike.
 Keep the battery pack out of reach of children.
