IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS – This manual con-
tains important safety and operating instruc-
tions for this battery charger.
 Before using battery charger, read all instructions
and cautionary markings on battery charger, bat-
tery, and product using battery.
 CAUTION: To reduce risk of injury, charge only batteries
of the Bosch eBike Systems. Other types of batteries
may burst causing personal injury and damage.
Read and understand all safety
warnings and instructions. Failure to
follow the warnings below could result
in death or serious injury.
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
 Only charge eBike-approved Bosch lithium-ion bat-
tery packs. The battery pack voltage must match the
battery pack charging voltage of the charger. Other-
wise, there is risk of fire and explosion.
Keep the charger away from rain and moisture.
The penetration of water into a battery charger in-
creases the risk of an electric shock.
WARNING
 Use only the original Bosch battery charger supplied
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.
 Keep 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).

 Check the battery charger, cable and plug each time
before using. Do not use the battery charger when de-
fects are detected. Do not open the battery charger
yourself and have it repaired only by qualified person-
nel using original spare parts. Damaged battery char-
gers, cables and plugs increase the risk of electric shock.
 Do not operate the battery charger on easily flamma-
ble surfaces (e.g., paper, textiles, etc.) or in combus-
tible environments. There is danger of fire due to the
heating of the battery charger during charging.
 Use caution when touching the charger during the
charging procedure. Wear protective gloves. Espe-
cially in high ambient temperatures, the charger can
heat up considerably.
 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.
 Keep the battery charger away from children. This
will ensure that children do not play with the charger.
 Persons who are not capable of safely operating the
charger because of their physical, sensory or mental
limitations, or because of their lack of experience or
knowledge, may only use this charger under supervi-
sion or after having been instructed by a responsible
person. Otherwise, there is a risk of operating errors
and injuries.
 Please read and follow the safety warnings and in-
structions enclosed in the operating instructions for
the battery pack and drive unit/on-board computer,
as well as in the operating instructions for your eBike.
