    Every battery ages the fastest if you leave it sitting around discharged.

    Shimano BT-E8035 Integrated Battery Issue: very fast degrading and loss of range

    Are you storing it at 4%? Keep in mind that discharging it to and storing it at this level will let the cells age faster.

    Shimano Battery Life Poll

    Not really. I think it's jthe cell format but at least for the shimano batteries people have dissasembled them and know which cells are in use. I think for bosch this is the same. But I can't link it right now. I just don't think that they use vastly different designs. Every ebike battery should...

    Shimano Battery Life Poll

    Yeah what everyone describes here is basically the normal aging prices of Lithium ion batteries. As far as I know bosch uses similar if not the same cells, so the only difference would be the charger/BMS and the motor pulling energy. But those should be similar. Bosch batteries age too. These...

    EP8 with 630 battery maximum range ?

    Yeah you're right but I feel like the biggest factor is still rider weight. When riding identical bikes in my experience the lighter rider has more battery left even if he or she uses higher assist modes. Fitness hasn't a big effect because of all the muscle weight to motor has to carry but...

    EP8 with 630 battery maximum range ?

    I once did 2300hm with bt-8010 and mostly Eco low but also some trail and boost. Plus the battery wasn't completely drained so 2400/2500hm seems to be possibly. I weighed around 70kg and cadence was between 70-100rpm with mostly lowest gear and mostly asphalt.

    E8000 cold weather problems

    By leaving the bike outside in those temperatures you risk fatal battery failure by deep discharge and faster ageing. If you gonna leave it outside longer than a few minutes/hours leave it at least charged up to 50%. If you leave it outside empty at that temperatures it may never wake up again...

    Yes a heavier rider will stress the battery more and discharge it faster to a level were it ages faster. Also the integrated batteries will get warmer than an external one, even if it's aluminium.

    STEPS E8000 Motor Service

    I think it can't be 'repaired' because its a functional play allowing the motor to disengage.

    Shimano Battery Life Poll

    Well in my family my father ruin batteries of phones, notebooks or campervans all the time because they have that petrolhead attitude of thinking if its running empty its fine. Just charge it up the next day when you need it. Not every battery dies completely but usually my notebook batteries...

    Shimano Battery Life Poll

    No, definately not. Doing deep discharges should only be avoided and only be done when you have to cover the distance in a certain assist mode. What's weird is that to some extent Bosch-Users must experience the same behaviour in principal. All lithium-ion batteries work like that and as far...

    I'm not saying overweight. Even if you consist solely on muscle the motor still has more weight to push because you only use a part of your muscles for pedaling. It's just a theory but I believe that heavier riders stress batteries more because they use higher assist because the higher the...

    Maybe a mixture of individual cell quality and higher power demand of the motor due to your higher weight.

    Battery extender

    Not really. There are some obscure options but apart from some website in spanish there are any real world review. I would suggest just fitting the BT-8016 for more range if we are talking about the old esommet with external battery.

    Shimano Battery Life Poll

    There is also a cell lottery factor involved. No cell will deliver exactly the same performance over time. But the decisive factor would be the user. Meaning if the battery gets used heavily (heavy rider with trail/boost every ride till its empty) or how it is stored/charged. Temperature is...

    EP8 with 504w battery?

    Yeah sorry, I wanted to post in a different thread about the retrofitting external batteries but can't find it anymore.
