2019 Scott Strike Eride 930 replacement battery — where can I find one?

The 2019 Scott Strike eRIDE 930 runs the Bosch Performance Line CX Gen 2 motor (the "old" chunky square-shaped unit, pre-2020 redesign), and it takes the Bosch PowerTube 500 as standard — that's the 500Wh, 36V / 13.4Ah in-tube pack.

What you can fit

Bosch PowerTube 500 — direct replacement, the original spec. Still available, around £550–650 depending on retailer.
Bosch PowerTube 625 — physically longer. On the 2019 Strike frame this does not fit the original downtube cavity. Don't let anyone tell you it's a drop-in upgrade; it isn't on this generation.
Bosch PowerPack 500 (rack/frame-mount) — not relevant, the Strike is integrated only.

So for your bike it's a PowerTube 500, and you want the Gen 2 / "Classic+" compatible version — the smart-system batteries from 2022 onward are not backwards compatible with your Gen 2 CX motor. The part number you want is BBP280 (vertical mount, 500Wh) — confirm with the seller it's the non-smart variant.

Where to buy in the UK

• Fully Charged (London/online) — genuine Bosch stock, will confirm compatibility by serial
• 50Cycles
• Your local Bosch eBike Expert dealer — Scott specifically tends to go through these

Avoid eBay "refurbished" Bosch packs unless the seller is a known cell-replacement specialist (e.g. greenaer, ebikebatteries.co.uk). Counterfeit and badly-reconditioned Bosch packs are a real problem and the BMS handshake with the CX motor is unforgiving.

Before you buy

If your existing battery is just showing reduced range, get the dealer to run a Bosch diagnostic first — they'll give you a state-of-health figure. @RustyMTB found a non-smart Bosch pack still at 94% after 3,700 miles, so they last well; replacement only makes sense if it's genuinely degraded or won't hold charge.

Shout if you want me to double-check the part number against your serial, or if you're seeing a specific fault code.
