E3 CityLight MkII replacement battery

[Tonyk840]

Hi All,

I am brand new to this forum and actually signed-up on behalf of an elderly friend of mine, who bought a CityLight Mk II about 5 or 6 years ago. The battery no longer holds the charge, so needs to be replaced, but from what I can gather the company who make the bikes, E3, has gone bust.

A little bit of research tells me that this company that makes the batteries: http://en.lishen.com.cn. I can't though seem to find an email address to contact them on.

The information I could find on the battery itself is that it is "Lithium-ion 36V 10Ah from LISHEN, 360Wh Capacity".

Does anybody know where I could either get hold of an original, or even a non-original, but compatible replacement part? And also what the rough cost is likely to be.

Thanks in advance.

Tony

Firstly, welcome to the forum Tony.

Drop http://www.bga-reworking.co.uk a line, as they may be able to recell your friend's battery pack, which can be more cost effective than buying a new battery.

Thanks for such a quick response Fordulike, much appreciated. I'll give that a whirl.

It's a standard battery. You can find them on Ali-express. search for "36v silver fish battery", then look for one with the same dimensions as yours.

BGA Reworking re-cell is another good solution. They'll make it better than it was when new.
