I still see these new ones on Craigslist in San Diego for anyone interested: Focus jam2 bold2 electric mountain bike parts - bicycles - by owner...Hello, my internal battery is out, my dealer told me the price: 649 € and 70€ for labour , not available untill sometime February 2021.
non warranty
You first have to drop the motor first. I did a frame swap about a year ago and the hardest part is getting the battery back in without pinching cables. Best to pay better attention to which cable gets routed where relative to the battery. I took pics but that didn't help me at all. I spent many hrs trying different routings before I satisfied. I did take the chainring off on one crank arm to get at the motor mounts and the bottom skid plate, electrical connection on the left side and chain all have to come off first. Thought I needed to do more but that's all that's necessary to drop the motor. Like I said putting the battery back in to where you are sure the main electrical wiring loom is not pinched is a bit of a pain.
I'll look around for those pics. I was able to slip some zip ties thru the battery mounting holes to hold the wiring harness up in place while I slipped the battery in. Even today I'm not that happy with how it routed but no issues after 2500 miles so must be OK. Just look inside on all sides of the battery to make sure you understand how it's routed. I had to do a frame swap because the decals were all cracked. It was warranty but not the labor so did it myself. My pictures are not all that great but will post what I find later today.
Yes I saved $250. for the entire frame swap but the biggest part was the battery. The way the main wiring loom goes in is sort of counter intuitive. I would be interested in seeing better pictures of how the cables and wiring go in. The dropper is very easy and it can easily be slid later because it's the one that is not zip tied down to the frame like the shifter and brake cables. The two battery bolts pull the battery to one side of the frame snuggly and you sometimes have to guide them to keep them from being pinched. It's too bad there isn't a separate protected channel for the cables but once the battery is snugged up there is an unprotected channel for the cables at least....but the cables sort of have a mind of their own as to where they want to go, lol.
No 250 € is the cost to regenerate a battery of about 400w, but not for Focus batteries, in Italy a new original Focus battery costs € 560 I ordered it but it will arrive in March 2021
Sounds like you're unluckier than me...I bought my Jam2 from JE James Chesterfield 2.5 years ago and had done 2,500 mile on it, then started getting E10 errors in November having brought the bike with me to Italy. Found a Focus dealer here - they rang Focus, were told to clean the battery contacts and bingo the bike worked. Brought it back to the apartment and started to charge it - Red light appears on charger and (like you) can't switch the bike on either The Italian dealer thinks the battery has had it. Been offered a new battery with 500mA as Focus don't know when they can supply a replacement...
thank you very much i will keep looking
sin preocupaciones ?

This is a great deal, I don't need one at the moment, but at that price I would buy them all, keep a loom and a charger then sell the rest, but how do you pay safely on this web sight.
I've bought and sold on craigslist and made payment thru paypal. Lots of sales are local of course but I've shipped a guitar across the country once with good results. To Europe is a bit tougher but if I was without a battery I might try this. You have to contact the seller and see if they are willing to ship to you and the cost. There is a contact option and an email that works thru the craigslist app.
I too have a 2018 jams in the States. That is really strange about removing power. I don't understand why they would even consider that or why the bike doesn't go dead when you run the battery down. I guess you always have a bit of power (voltage) available in that case but it's very strange. If we could determine which line is feeding the BMS power maybe we could rig something up? Std BMS board don't do that to my knowledge and it's intentional on their part to prevent re-building?
Good news. I was going to suggest you go thru a former Focus dealer to contact them for you. Good luck and keep us posted.
