Shimano Battery Life Poll

How did it end up?

The battery meter is finally matched once I got to 100%. I guess I'll have to see how it reflects in the future.

Thats good. Does sound like a calibration issue then which is hopefully now resolved.

The App eTube Project V5, Professional, last Version, shows the number of loads with my three BT-E8010 à 504 Wh.

But how is it with BT-E8016 à 630 Wh ?

Question 1: does somebody know if the PC app eTube Project V5, last version, shows the number of full loads of the BT-E8016?

Question 2: does somebody know if Shimano fixed this issue wth BT-E8016, and how?

It says that: "It has been confirmed that there are cases where the bicycle cannot be started after the BT-E8016 battery has been fully charged. If this occurs, plug the charger into the battery, confirm the LED lights up, then remove the charging plug. This enables the bicycle to be started. Rest assured that this issue has no negative effects on safety. We will inform you as soon as a permanent solution becomes available. "

I do not want to try to purchase for the third time a BT-E8016, if I have to return it back because of this issue after a full load.

Shimano never published since 3 years a confirmation, they fixed it.

I have a BT-E8016 bought one year ago and it has never had this issue. After 10 cycles degradation is 98%, much better than the BT-E8010

Thank you @Spiff for my Question n°2.

And now... >>>

Interestingly, after 2928km and 30 cycles, my battery health ticked-over to 94% (NB. at 29 cycles it still showed 96%).

So my average full battery range is ~100km, however…

If I ride in Eco (36% assist) at 20°C my theoretical range is 170km, and I am confident I could do 150km, based on my L2B OR experience

If I ride in Trail (63% assist) at 2°C my range drops to ~50km, based on my observation, as after 41km hard riding in Surrey Hills, I had 20% batt left, and at that rate I would probably do 50km.

In conclusion, the same rider, diff conditions and vastly different effective range. You need to get to know your bike and your style, so that you can use it effectively.

i used a 1 amp load to discharge the battery. surely enough, the shimano folks designed the battery to brick itself when not recognizing a movement of power.

after replacing the SFK-4030A "battery insurance" fuse, the battery internally bricked itself with a code.

How did you apply the 1 amp charge?

I have discharged mine (8010) in the lab, down to 28V with up to 6 amps and had no problem. It´s is still alive

DC load was connected internally in the power pack with the battery off

I use the standard quick charger
