eBike can switch battery and PowerMore ON and OFF using the CAN bus, so If battery and PowerMore are installed and fully charged, then ebike motor alternates them (switching ON/OFF) to drain 5% the electric energy from each of them, until both are depleted.
If one of them has a higher charge...
If the battery can be killed in a test, it probably may also suffer a "natural death" during a long ride, normally at the most remote location of the track. So if the test kills the battery, it is uncovering a battery issue and saving you the hassle.
Well, that's my opinion and I may be wrong.
You are reading it right and the battery mock up has a body length of 200mm, which is the dimension specified by Bosch.
I removed the air from the current shock and bottomed it out, and the shock does not get any closer to the PowerMore.
A few days ago I checked Bosch web page, and I belive that dimension there was 218mm, I checked today again and dimensionis now 200mm.

With this PowewrMore length of 200mm, Float X mounted upwards should fit with a margin of around 7mm...
I forgot that Shock eyelets are rotated 180ª, so when placing the shock upside down, the piggyback reservoir is rotated to the right, I tested the fit and the interference is similar, but I do not like it. This time I did not feel like making sawdust, so I used Photoshop.
So I still have my...
I am willing to buy a new shock Fox Float X for my eBike, but as in the future I may buy Bosch PowerMore, first I want to check that both will fit in my bike, because Float X has a piggyback reservoir that my current Rock Shox does not have.
So I got the Float X dimensions from a Fox...
Bosch reponse is that DUAL BATTERY depends on bike manufacturer:
Thank you for contacting Bosch eBike.
Regarding your query, an update will soon be released that will allow the dual battery to be used on Smart System electric bicycles.
To find out if installation or compatibility with your...
I thought that it was not possible to connect a DUAL Battery in Smartsystem, but according shop ebike24 Q&A, it is possible.
Has anybody tried it?
Question to EBIKE24: I have a 2023 ebike with a Bosch Smartsystem 2023 system, Bosch BDU3740 motor and I would like to know if it is possible to...
It is easy to check which theory is correct, whether Powermore Extender can work or not alone (Without Main Battery) in a ebike with POWERMORE READY = NO. To test it, we should proceed the following way, but as Powermore Extender has not been released yet we should wait until it is released...
If you mean installing the Bosch Powermore 250, then the answer is NO.
My 2023 Moterra has the Bosch Smartsystem that is compatible with Bosch Powermore Extender, but it is required that Cannondale changes a configuration flag POWERMORE READY = NO --> YES, but Cannondale refuses to do the...
There is another issue to mount the Powermore, the problem is that in some bikes the threaded inserts in the diagonal tube, used for the bottle cage bolts, are very low, probably to lower the Gravity Center. This is not an issue for the bottle cage, but Powermore Mounting plate requires around...
My friends with 2021 Gen4 have two batteries in the ebike, an internal powertube and an external powerpack.
This is the kit you need:
Bosch Kit adaptador para Batería Dual - Soporte de batería para el funcionamiento dual
But I am not an expert, better ask your LBS
Which Gen4? 2021, or 2022 Smartsystem?
Gen4 2021 allows to mount double battery and probably the Powermore range extender.
Gen4 Smartsystem (from 2022) require that your Bike Manufacturer changes Configuration parameter: POWERMORE READY = NO-->YES, and then you can plug Powermore Range...
This parameter is in a Configuration Protected Area that the LBS can not change, I have been told that the procedure is:
LBS plugs diagnostic into bike
LBS asks Cannondale for the new configuration file
LBS loads the new configuration file
The drawback of this solution is that Main Battery and Powermore can not be plugged at the same time because the motor will post an Error Code, so to install Powermore it would be required to remove the Main Battery and carry it in a backpack or in the Rear Rack, but as the weight is 4,4Kg and...
You can buy the new charge cable for 23,28€, and the installation is not difficult.

Regarding the position of the charging port and the flap door for it, I checked it again and the flap door opens 180º and there are 35mm from...
Hi Gustl,
Seems to me, that some guys in the industry are sceptical about the security of an external battery on a bike used in heavy terrain.
*** There is a non official range extender (Vola Bike) that installs in the bottle cage, and to work properly it even requires to drill the original...
