As well as the two downtube integrated options, the new 630Wh BT-E8016 becomes our largest external battery, coming with a new fitting port, the BM-E8016 battery mount.
To upgrade from a current 504Wh BT-E8010 external battery to the 630Wh BT-E8016 external battery you need to change the current battery mount to the new BM-E8016 battery mount. This is because the 630Wh battery requires a reinforced battery holder to accommodate the change in its physical size. You can contact your local dealer for more information.
Much like other SHIMANO E-BIKE SYSTEMS batteries, the new BT-E8036, BT-E8035-L and BT-E8016 offer an extremely long lifetime. Even after 1000 full charge cycles (which would take 19 years of once a week charges to reach!) the new batteries will still hold 60% of their capacity. This means you can focus on the trail rather than on your battery indicator.
With these new SHIMANO E-BIKE SYSTEMS additions you now have the choice of 10 batteries with either rear carrier, external type or downtube-integrated positions and faster-charging 418Wh or 504Wh batteries or extended riding capacity 630Wh options.
The new 630Wh internal BT-E8036 battery weighs 3.7kg, the 630Wh external BT-E8016 battery weighs 3.5kg, and the 504Wh BT-E8035-L internal battery weighs 3.15kg.
