Removable E-Bike Batteries
The e-bike battery is one of the most expensive components on an electric bike. It is also one of the most important for the riding experience. If your e-bike uses a hidden battery system, you won’t be able to replace it without the help of a specialist. However, you can purchase third-party batteries that are compatible with your e-bike.

The JOBOBIKE e-bike is a great way to get around town and keep in shape. You can ride your e-bike to work and other places, and it can help you avoid using public transportation or driving. Eventually, your battery will run out of charge and need to be replaced. You can tell when it’s time to replace your battery by looking at the battery management system (BMS) to see how many charge cycles it has.
Replacement batteries for bikes with integrated systems are a bit trickier to find as many original manufacturers stopped making their own brand batteries (although in some cases a legacy option may still be available). One option is Rad Power Bikes who offer both external and frame-integrated options on their website. They also offer a reusable mail-in recycling scheme for their batteries. UK-based Electric Transport Shop is another good source for E-bike batteries – they stock a number of Far Eastern battery brands and offer a battery diagnosis service that’s refundable against a new battery or recell if required.
Are Removable E-Bike Batteries Removable For Charging Or Replacement?
Some e-bike systems have batteries that are built into the frame and can’t be removed by the rider. These systems have advantages, such as a sleeker and simpler design that keeps the battery cells well protected from dirt and weather. This also allows the use of lighter chargers. These systems tend to have higher battery capacities, which is a good thing because they can get you farther on your ride.
If you have a non-removable frame integrated system you can still buy replacement batteries from third parties. FTH Power has good stocks of popular far eastern brands and the UK’s Electric Transport Shop network offers battery diagnosis (refundable against a replacement or recell).
The US manufacturer Rad Power offers an excellent website for filtering compatible batteries by bike model. This includes a list of legacy options for bikes built before 2018. The company uses the ASI BAC355 controller platform and their new Baserunner system which has the benefit of slow charging, making your battery last much longer.
The battery in a Shimano e-bike system is a vital component of the drive system. The system is very compact and uses Shimano Steps motor technology to deliver smooth and powerful power. The Shimano battery also offers high energy density for longer riding ranges. It can handle over 1000 charge cycles without losing significant power.
Often, these batteries are integrated into the frame. This means they cannot be removed or swapped. However, these batteries are very durable and should last for a long time if they’re properly maintained. If you’re planning to buy a bike with an integrated battery, make sure to look at the manufacturer’s warranty policies before purchasing it.
E-bike batteries should be disposed of carefully, not tossed into regular bins. Most manufacturers recommend checking with local authorities or returning the battery to your bike dealer for recycling. In the US, a programme called Call2Recycle has been set up, while retailers in the UK are joining the scheme via a collective body, People for Bikes.
