Alternative battery producers? E+ Trance 2020

[Lui_DK]

I'm looking for a spare battery for extended climbing days in the bikepark.
The price levels for an original Giant Energy puts me off though. Do you know of any third party battery producers that has taken up this market?
Battery will need fit in the frame and that's probably why I can't find any alternative.
500 W is fine - 650 W would be amazing.

I've never stumbled over anything but the OEM battery.

they do make 3rd party frame batts but there more expensive than oem but most can bus lock the bms so no 3rd party batts will work anyway and force you to pay there rip off prices.

Make sense. I'll start looking for a second hand batteries on Ebay instead.

Maybe hunt down the new 800wh battery and sell yours?

I'm also looking for a larger battery for my 2021 Stance E+2, I currently have the 500Wh that came as standard. I'm assuming that this is the same battery that is used in the Trance? I've been told by the LBS here in NZ that the 625Wh battery is a direct replacement but does anyone know if the 800Wh will fit? I understand from the research I've done that the 800Wh is physicality bigger and I've found some literature that seems to show that there is a cover that will work to allow it to be used. Does anyone have any info?

Didn't know that it could fit the 2020 Trance. That would be a game changer.
