    Has the Shimano SC-EM800 display a light port?

    The only "difficult" task is to drop the motor, and any LBS should be used to do that. Which town in Spain are you located?

    Bluetooth connection issue

    Try to delete the Steps device in the phone BT menu and start pairing it from scratch. Also, make sure you are using the correct BT password. If you have used other APPS (like STUNLOCK), exit the APP before using etube. Good luck

    Shimano Battery Life Poll

    Well, in this case with same bike, motor, battery, the only different parameter between both batteries is the rider. I suppose that your wife is thinner than you, so could it be that you use more juice from the battery and deep discharge it? Deep discharge and storing the battery with low...

    Shimano Battery Life Poll

    The majority of failing batteries are internal ones, external behave much better, mine is stellar, 98% after 42 cycles and 3800Km. And I do not think Shimano is using different cells or BMS, it is just a different repack. Some bike manufacturers may improve cooling of the internal battery by...

    Shimano Battery Life Poll

    My last theory isthat the internal battery could overheat because of it being in a closed tube in the frame. External batteries have better behaviour and they have very good cooling outside the frame.

    E 8000 display blacked out .

    This error looks like it is internal to the display, so it should be changed in warranty. I had mine changed in warranty because it was not fully hermetic and moisture was showing in the display and obscuring the numbers

    Shimano Battery Life Poll

    Looks like Shimano is very conservative to obsolete and replace products with design errors, so it may happen that BMS is faulty and degrades battery. Probably a japanese design manager will have to commit seppuku, but that'll be all, and Shimano will not replace the faulty device. A good...
