Thank you for the heads up! I just ordered one!

I have used helicopter tape to fix the cable rub on my bike. ISC Racerstape in a 2" x 12' roll is pretty useful for lots of rub spots including where your shoe may hit the chain stay or the little strip of paint on the downtube that hits a tail gate pad.

I recently received a update on the ETA for the battery I ordered: March 2022.

I ordered one from my LBS in California on May 11th and at that time there was no ETA they could provide and have received no update since. It may be a while.

Shimano is unlikely to warranty the battery at 92% although I would try. If they do agree to warranty it I would use it for as long as possible as the warranty replacement may have the same problem. I had a warranty replacement bt-e8035 go from 100% to 91% after 4 cycles and 20 days, Shimano...

Sounds like you may need thicker wires from your rv battery to the inverter. Thicker wires = less voltage drop (and less amps going through the wires). The 11.8v at the inverter may or may not be an issue, it really depends on how many volts the AC the inverter is putting out. I recommend you...

Yep. Plug the power meter in then plug in the charger. Best probably to measure when it is charging around 30-50% to get the max wattage.

If you have not done so already I would buy a cheap watt meter to see the actual draw of your charger. It may not be 920w. I would be surprised if it was that high. My Shimano 4 amp charger (e6000) only draws around 180w max when measured. Other recommendation is to spend the extra for a nice...

I have owned four e8035 batteries. All 4 batteries rapidly decline in health as follows. So frustrating that Shimano will not fix the issue or warranty my batteries again. I would buy a new ep800 with a e8036 battery, but I am worried the e8036 or any other Shimano system will have the same...

eTube app using the pce02 interface. Yes, range has been reduced although it is hard to notice until it gets to 85% and below.

My experience from owning 4 batteries (internal 504wh bt-e8035) and watching them all rapidly decline in health regardless of how I stored them. Three of the batteries were always stored at 40-60%, one of them I always charged to 100% after my rides. As you can see it does not seem to matter as...

Other than putting your bike in a mechanics stand and zip tying the walk mode button, no there is no way. The batteries use some sort of CAN bus and must receive instructions to output any voltage to the terminals. I would not worry about it too much especially if it is a internal e8035...

My e8000 drive unit had a very similar problem that I equated to the clutch slipping. The cranks would turn and the chainring would remain still or turn very slowly (much slower than the assistance you could hear the drive unit providing). I believe both the e8000 and ep8 have similar clutch...

Or you have the same defective cells and/or BMS that the e8035 has in your e8010 battery and your wife and my wife does not.

From my experience with four different e8035 batteries the rapid decline in battery health is not a matter of battery abuse or misuse. All four of my batteries have declined in almost exactly the same fashion regardless if I stored them at 40-60% or charge them to 100% after riding. All of the...
