The Shimano STEPS BT-EN805 is a 504Wh integrated lithium-ion battery designed for e-MTBs and e-bikes running the EP8 (DU-EP801) or EP6 (DU-EP600) drive system. Its slim, flat profile mounts cleanly inside the down tube or seat tube of purpose-built frames, centralising weight and lowering the centre of gravity for a riding feel that stays closer to a conventional bicycle.

Highlights

  • 504Wh capacity (36V / 14Ah): substantial range for trail, enduro, and commute riding.
  • Slim integrated form factor: flat profile enables slimmer frame designs and a lower centre of gravity compared to external battery packs.
  • Second-generation battery management: monitors charge cycles, thermal conditions, and cell balance to protect long-term capacity.
  • IPX5 water resistance: stands up to all-weather riding and low-pressure washing.
  • Long-lasting cells: retains more than 60% of initial maximum capacity after 1,000 full charge cycles.
  • Built-in indicator: charge level display, on/off switch, and error signal integrated into the battery unit.
  • Full charge in approximately 5 hours with a compatible EC-E8004 charger.

Battery Technology

The BT-EN805 pairs Shimano's second-generation lithium-ion cells with an advanced battery management system. The BMS monitors cell balance, thermal conditions, and charge history to protect capacity over thousands of rides. The flat, compact construction keeps mass low and central, contributing to more natural handling on technical terrain.

Frame Integration

Designed specifically for frame-integrated mounting, the BT-EN805 slots into the down tube or seat tube cavity of compatible e-bike frames using Shimano STEPS battery mount hardware. The flush fit protects the battery within the frame and delivers a clean aesthetic without exposed battery bulges.

Compatibility & Fit

Compatible with Shimano STEPS DU-EP801 (EP8) and DU-EP600 (EP6) drive units. Requires a frame with an integrated battery cavity and Shimano STEPS second-generation battery mount points. Compatible charger: EC-E8004. Not compatible with first-generation Shimano STEPS systems (E6000 / E8000 series).

Shimano offers a limited warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. For warranty support, return the item to Tune Cycles.
