The Shimano STEPS BT-EN805-L is a 504Wh second-generation integrated down tube battery engineered for e-MTB systems running the EP801 or EP600 drive unit. Its slim, frame-integrated housing keeps weight low and centred — maintaining the handling characteristics of a conventional mountain bike while delivering a full day of trail riding from a single charge.

Highlights

  • 504Wh (36V, 14Ah) lithium-ion capacity for extended trail range
  • Integrated down tube / seat tube design for a clean, stealth frame aesthetic
  • Compatible with DU-EP801 and DU-EP600 STEPS drive units
  • IPX5 water resistance — handles rain and low-pressure washing
  • Full charge in approximately 5 hours with the EC-8004 charger
  • Retains over 60% of initial capacity after 1,000 full charge cycles
  • Low centre of gravity for natural, balanced ride feel

Performance & Longevity

With 504Wh of usable capacity, the BT-EN805-L delivers meaningful range across a wide variety of terrain and assist modes. Shimano's battery management system optimises cell health over the long term — the battery is rated to retain more than 60% of its initial maximum capacity after 1,000 full charge cycles. Charging via the EC-E8004 or EC-E6002 charger (SM-BTE80 or EW-CP100 charging adapter required) takes approximately 5 hours from flat.

Trail-Ready Durability

Built specifically for e-MTB use, the BT-EN805-L carries an IPX5 water-resistance rating, making it well suited to riding in wet conditions and routine post-ride washing. The operating temperature range of -10°C to 50°C covers typical Australian trail conditions year-round, while the charging range of 0°C to 40°C is appropriate for most workshop and garage environments.
