If you have a complete electric bike you should buy the replacement battery from that e-bike company via the original retailer if at all possible. Let’s consider the options for replacement in terms of desirability. Let’s first look at the basics of getting a replacement battery for your e-bike, then we will look at some of the major manufacturers of e-bike batteries and some of the main e-bike manufacturers to see which common battery types are still replaceable. Pairing your battery with a different charger adds in risk of malfunction during charging.* The one that comes with your battery should sync up well and not overload the battery. *As an important side note: you should always, if possible, use a charger that comes from the original manufacturer too. For example, some Bosch batteries of different capacities are explicitly made to be interchangeable and there will be many instances where an original supplier and/or manufacturer of the e-bike cannot be traced or has gone out of business – in such cases we look at your options below. It’s a little more complicated than this in some situations. The reason is that the original e-bike or kit manufacturer has the responsibility to ensure that the battery pack, charger, and e-bike all work safely together, and using a ‘non-original’ replacement pack potentially introduces all sorts of uncontrolled risks. In general, the answer is no – you should only replace a battery with one that comes from the same manufacturer and is of exactly the same spec.
