Storing

Notes for Optimum Handling of the
Battery Pack
The battery pack life can be extended if properly main-
tained and especially if operated and stored at the right
temperatures.
With increasing age, however, the battery pack capacity
will diminish, even if properly maintained.
A significantly reduced operating period after charging in-
dicates that the battery pack is worn out and must be re-
placed. You can replace it yourself by purchasing a genuine
Bosch PowerPack from an authorized Bosch eBike dealer.
Recharging the Battery Pack Before and During Storage
When not using the battery pack for a longer period, charge
it to approx. 60 % (3 to 4 LEDs lit on the charge-control in-
dicator A3).
Check the charge condition after 6 months. When only one
LED on the charge-control indicator A3 lights up, recharge
the battery pack again to approx. 60 %.
Note: When the battery pack is stored discharged (empty)
for longer periods, it can become damaged despite the low
self-discharging feature, and the battery pack capacity may
be strongly reduced.
It is not recommended to have the battery pack connected
permanently to the charger.

Storage Conditions
Store the battery pack in a dry, well-ventilated location.
Protect the battery pack against moisture and water. Under
unfavorable weather conditions, it is recommended e.g., to
remove the battery pack from the eBike and store it in an
enclosed location until it is used again.
The battery pack can be stored at temperatures between
+14 °F and +140 °F. However, storing the battery pack at
the optimal temperature of 68 °F will provide the longer
battery life.
Make sure that the maximum storage temperature is not ex-
ceeded. As an example, store the battery pack out of direct
sunlight and do not leave it in a vehicle during the summer.
It is recommended to not store the battery pack on the bike.
