The Shimano STEPS BT-E8016 delivers 630Wh of capacity in a robust, low-profile down tube design — giving you the range to tackle longer trails and commutes without adding excessive weight high on the frame. With a rated life of over 1,000 charge cycles and compatibility with Shimano's fast charger, it's built to keep your e-bike running season after season.

Highlights

  • 630Wh capacity (36V / 17.5Ah) — Shimano STEPS' highest-capacity down tube battery
  • Lithium-ion cell technology with 1,000+ cycle durability (retains ≥60% capacity after rated service life)
  • Low-profile, down tube-mounted design keeps weight low and centralised for natural ride feel
  • Integrated ON/OFF switch, charge-level LED indicator and error-signal display
  • Fast-charge capable — 50% charge in approximately 2.5 hours with EC-E8004 charger
  • Impact- and vibration-resistant construction for demanding trail use
  • Key-lock security: battery is secured in the holder and released by turning the key

Range & Charging

At 630Wh the BT-E8016 is the maximum-capacity down tube battery for Shimano STEPS e-MTB systems. Paired with the EC-E8004 charger, you can reach 50% in around 2.5 hours and a full charge in approximately 6 hours — so the battery is ready to go again quickly between rides. The EC-E6002 charger is also compatible for standard overnight charging.

Built to Last

Shimano rates the BT-E8016 for more than 1,000 charge cycles before capacity drops below 60% — equating to many years of regular riding for most users. The impact- and vibration-resistant housing is designed to handle rough trail conditions, and the low-slung down tube position protects the battery while keeping the bike's centre of gravity where it belongs.

Compatibility & Fit

The BT-E8016 requires the BM-E8016 battery mount (sold separately) to fit to your frame's down tube — it will not fit mounts designed for earlier Shimano STEPS batteries. Compatible chargers are the EC-E8004 (recommended for fast charging) and EC-E6002. Designed for use with Shimano STEPS E8000-series e-MTB drive systems. Consult your frame manufacturer to confirm BM-E8016 mount compatibility before purchase.
