The Shimano STEPS BT-EN806 is a 630 Wh integrated battery designed for modern e-bikes that demand long range and a clean, frame-integrated aesthetic. With a flat, compact profile that tucks neatly into the downtube or seattube, it keeps the centre of gravity low and the silhouette sleek — delivering serious range without compromising the look or handling of your ride.

Highlights

  • 630 Wh capacity (36 V / 17.5 Ah) for extended range on demanding trails and commutes
  • Integrated frame mounting — compatible with downtube and seattube positions
  • Approximately 3.7 kg — compact and lightweight for its capacity class
  • IPX5 water resistance rated for all-weather riding and low-pressure washing
  • Charges fully in approximately 6 hours using the EC-E8004 charger
  • Retains more than 60% of initial capacity after 1,000 full charge cycles
  • On/off switch, charge level indicator, and error signal indicator built in

Battery Technology

The BT-EN806 uses a lithium-ion cell pack operating at 36 V with a 17.5 Ah rating, delivering 630 Wh of usable energy. The flat integrated design was engineered specifically for Shimano's second-generation STEPS battery mount system, allowing frame manufacturers to build slimmer, more natural-looking e-bikes. The battery charges safely between 0 °C and 40 °C and operates in temperatures from −10 °C to 50 °C, covering the full range of Australian riding conditions.

Durability & Longevity

Shimano rates the BT-EN806 to retain more than 60% of its original maximum capacity after 1,000 full charge cycles — representing years of regular riding before any meaningful performance decline. IPX5 certification means it handles rain, trail spray, and post-ride washdowns without issue. The battery also features an error signal function that alerts the rider or technician to any fault condition, making diagnostics straightforward.

Compatibility & Fit

The BT-EN806 is compatible with the Shimano STEPS DU-EP801 and DU-EP600 drive units. It requires a second-generation Shimano STEPS integrated battery mount — compatible brackets include BM-EN800-A, BM-EN800-B, BM-EN801-A, and BM-EN801-B. Recommended chargers are the EC-E6002 and EC-E8004. This battery is supplied as a replacement or upgrade unit; frame compatibility should be confirmed with the bike manufacturer before purchase.
