This is something what I have been expecting: 15-20k, one battery and lots of fun but instead....

How many kms have you made with the bosch? Mine was replaced at 5400 km and the bike kept turning off randomly for the past 1000 km for no obvious reason. This amounts to 0.12 eur/km or so which is something for my Honda PCX which covers gas/km, yearly theft and crash insurance plus yearly...

If this is so, we are all s......d with this particular model and the only thing you can do, is to use your warranty or a solicitor when they decline to offer a replacement.

What you are saying contradicts to what the recelling guy told me. I am not saying that you may not be right. He told me whether you use Panasonic or Samsung cells, which most of them do, you will end up having the original BMS that follows a pattern. I have been tempted to try this one out but...

The manufacturer had no problem recelling it, he was not particularly happy about Shimano, but he implied issues when replacing the BMS. No problem recelling (costs a little bit less than a new/original one) but with the same BMS, it will follow the same degrading pattern.

Yes, it is. I was wondering the same way but the recell manufacturer and a guy who retrofits engines to old school bikes told me they would not mess around with the bms since Shimano and their proprietary system uses very "lively" communication between the battery and drive unit and they might...

Spoken to a guy who has got two bikes with the same model of the battery, both the batteries have been degrading the same way: after 10 cycles drop to 90% health and losing range in line with the decreasing health. Used his warranty when below 80% but was refused. Mine was accepted below 80%. I...

If your batteries are still warrantied, you only need to contact your retailer. Depending on the %, you will get a respond what to do. If your are above 80% (means that you have not reached the magical 5K km), most likely you will be asked to go under. If your Shimano dealer is currently with 0...

Probably not...I was told (it may not be true), however funny or stupid it sounds, the battery and motor communicate too much. As a result, it is not as easy to produce a third party battery. I am not an expert, perhaps somebody else could shed some light on this?

Yeah, it takes roughly 30 batteries BT-E8035 to make 160 000 km, each with 25% degradation and a bill worth of 18500 eur.

Fine and gr8, but your battery is BT-E8036 and this thread is about a different model. BT-E8035 drops down to 90% when you have 10 cycles.

Spoken to a guy who works for a company that may have some results regarding this in three months. I do not know how likely this is.

OK, did not know that, thx.

Where can you buy a reliable third party battery that fits Simando sets pls? Thx.

Well then, I did understand well. Knowing that Shimano is familiar with that and puts the crap in and gets the crap out (known issue) is a form of lie as they simply cannot meet their advertised cycles and provide appropriate capacity of the battery in the long run.
