Bicycle battery Shimano

Look at the label on your current battery. It shows the Shimano type number, for example BT-E6001 (rear carrier), BT-E8010 (on the frame) or BT-E8036 (inside the frame). Search for it in the search bar or the battery finder.

Is there an -A after the number, as in BT-E8036-A? According to Shimano, it works with the same motors and holders as the version without -A. Not sure? Send a photo of your battery and of the label via WhatsApp.

According to Shimano's compatibility chart:

• Rear carrier: BT-E6000 and BT-E6001.
• On the frame: BT-E8010 and BT-E8014. The BT-E8016 only fits the newer BM-E8016 holder.
• Inside the frame: BT-E8035 and BT-E8036.
• The BT-E6010 has its own holder.

A battery with more capacity is often bigger. So compare the dimensions on the product page with the space on your bike.

No. Those motors belong to Shimano's newer battery system and use batteries with a type number starting with BT-EN, such as the BT-EN805. The BT-E batteries in this category are for the first system: motors such as the E5000, E6000, E6100, E7000, E8000 and EP800.

We don't currently stock BT-EN batteries. Looking for one? Send us a message via WhatsApp.

That's the capacity in watt-hours: voltage × amp-hours. All Shimano batteries here are 36 V. The BT-E6000 has 11.6 Ah (418 Wh), the BT-E6001 and BT-E8035 have 14 Ah (504 Wh), and the BT-E8016 and BT-E8036 have 17.5 Ah (630 Wh). More watt-hours means more range with the same use.

A bigger battery only works if it fits the same holder. See the question above.

Usually just your current Shimano Steps charger. According to Shimano, the EC-E6002 and EC-E8004 chargers charge all BT-E batteries, some of them with an adapter between charger and battery.

A battery inside the frame (BT-E8035, BT-E8036) can also be charged on the bike, through the charging port on the frame. A bigger battery takes longer to charge fully.

Is the item in stock, and do you order and pay before 14:00 on a working day? Then it leaves the same day. Orders that come in later or at the weekend are shipped on the next working day. You always see the shipping costs at checkout; see our Shipping and returns page for the rates.

You can't order an out-of-stock item straight away. On the product page, enter your email address and click "Keep me informed", adding a question if you like. We'll then let you know whether and when we can deliver it, and at what price.

You can return it within 30 days, even if you've already tried it. Returns from the Netherlands and Belgium are free; from other countries you pay the return shipping, unless we made a mistake. The item must be undamaged and come back in its original box. Email your order number to info@azparts.nl and within 1 working day you'll receive a return label (Netherlands and Belgium) or the instructions for your return. Our technicians check the item on arrival; after that we refund you.

Charge your battery at room temperature, between 10 and 25 °C, and never below 0 or above 45 °C. If you don't ride much, charge it at least once a month: a battery that runs completely flat can be damaged beyond repair. So never store it empty either, for example over the winter, and keep it out of strong sun and freezing cold.

Never put it in household waste: that's not allowed, and a damaged lithium-ion battery can cause a fire. Hand it in at your local recycling centre or at a bike shop that takes part in a battery collection scheme (in the Netherlands: Stibat).
