My sister has a 10 year old KTM Macina that I got a new battery for and she has been using it fine for commuting (Bosch Powerpack 400 Frame Classic+ Line

Thanks to @soundwave , this was the battery I got : https://www.allbatteries.co.uk/electric-bike-battery-bosch-powerpack-400-type-36v-11-6ah-aml9126cc-109474.html

She is doing the coast to coast cycle this year, and I thought she might be pushing it, doing a days cycling on a 400Wh battery. I was looking for a second battery - is this the same :


Looks very similar but doesn't have the fabric strap

(I know - she could have a new ebike for a bit more !)

So these were the ones I managed to find

(This has been fine - she bought it a couple of years ago and its been fine since then - thanks @soundwave )


These were a bit cheaper - seemed to have the same part number

Hello - did you buy the battery in the end for your sister? I think I need a new battery 2012 Scott running Bosch classic so was interested if you would recommend? Thanks Iain

We didn't buy a second battery but the one from allbatteries that she bought a couple of years ago worked very well.

The hub gears on her 2013 KTM Macina seized up earlier this year so I built her a bike instead using the TSDZ8 mid motor kit on a old Gary Fisher hardtail that she had in the garage and sold on the battery to someone who needed a Bosch Classic. She did the coast to coast challenge no problem.

With the funds from the battery that we sold, it actually worked out cheaper to build a new bike with TSDZ8 kit + generic Samsung celled 720Wh battery than buying a second Bosch style battery
