February 24, 20179 yr I have a HaiBike AllMtn SL which uses the Yamaha system. I've run it ragged commuting to work every day and the battery is starting to degrade. I thought Pah! ill just buy a new battery...Then I found out there is literally nowhere online I can buy one from! Is anyone else in the same boat? Does anyone know where I could get one? I could open the thing and replace the cells but that sounds like a LOT of work.

February 24, 20179 yr Author Cheers. Bloody hell thats expensive! I wonder how many cells are inside it.
February 24, 20179 yr 40 i think but i doubt the bms will let you recell it like the bosch batts but there is a place in germany that can now do the bosch batts it is just getting them there. they should match ebike shop for price £650 or 850 for a 500w
February 24, 20179 yr I've ordered a battery for my Haibike from http://www.allbatteries.co.uk/searchengine/result/?q=Haibike+ The cost is around the £300 mark and for my Yamaha motor they are quoting 468watts with Samsung cells. Delivery has been quoted at approx. 1 month and is imminent, once it's delivered I will be able to post a review. Alternatively if you search Haibike on ebay there is a seller at around £400 although you will need to decide if you feel one of these options is worth the risk.

Izzy Ah I just saw the ebay, I assumed it was a no brand one. Looks like they've custom built that themselves. Must be using their own BMS. Makes sense really.
February 24, 20179 yr Author 400 - 500 quid is about what id expect to pay tbh. I've not been particularly good to mine. But considering the price of cells 700 quid is a complete rip off.
February 24, 20179 yr Agree, but i think i'd still buy the branded one. Soundwave site he recommended have good customer service.
February 24, 20179 yr the 500w is more than the bosch now buy 150 quid. a 500w bosch is 700 rrp but dealer pays just under 500 for them as i have the shops invoice
February 24, 20179 yr In view of the lead times for delivery I can only presume that the batteries are coming from China. However Allbatteries appear to be a reputable UK company so in my eyes are "worth a punt" at less than half the price of a branded one. You can pay by credit card or PayPal so you have some protection and coincidently I have just recieved an email confirmation of delivery do should be able to report back next week (weather permitting). Izzy
February 25, 20179 yr Izzy, Good luck and hope the battery is ok. Note it only has 6 months warranty of course. I'm maybe unlucky, as most of my purchases of cheaper Chinese products have materialised in a waste of money.
February 27, 20179 yr Hi Izzy, having a Haibike sduro I am interested in how you get on with your replacement battery. Do they supply a new case that is similar to the yamaha one that you just slot onto the bike or do they refill your old battery case with new batteries. If it is good quality and works it is a no brainer.
February 27, 20179 yr Hi All, Firstly and for the sake of clarity can I say I have nothing to do with or had any communication with Allbatteries.co.uk except for ordering a replacement battery for my Haibike Sduro. I am not recommending them and will leave you to look at their company profile and make your own decisions whether to do business with them . I know next to nothing about batteries so no technical questions if you don't mind. The battery arrived today, which was dispatched from France via DPD and was a week later than than the original promised date, it came well packaged and in perfect condition. After opening the box the initial impressions are good and I consider that the plastic casing of the battery is substantial and of good quality. I then attached the the trip computer to my bike and installed the battery which fitted easily and snuggly with no play. I fired up the computer which recognised the battery immediately and showed a range of 101 miles compared to the original 400w battery range if 81 miles. Unfortunately due to the carp weather I didn't get to take my bike out today and the forecast for the week doesn't show much improvement. But as soon as I get a weather window I will give it a run and see how it performs in anger. So to sum up..At the moment and subject to a longer test the battery appears to be exactly as described and a bargain in comparison to the manufacturerers offering at almost three times the price (I can claim the VAT back through my company). Caveat Emptor.
February 27, 20179 yr All Yam riders will be hoping it is a 10. But we will all wait for your reports, first. Thanks for taking the leap
February 27, 20179 yr a pic of the bms would be good or a link to what they are using as then could do a recell refurbish but at that price i guess you would not save that much. tho buy then the new tesla cells will be out and that will get interesting

So if you want to buy one and investigate.. As the saying goes "knock yourself out"
February 28, 20179 yr Izzy, I'm impressed with your update. Can you please give us another update once you've had time to test / recharge battery etc. As if this works well, it really will be a bargain.
February 28, 20179 yr Will they be able to ship to the US? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro You would need to ask them, www.allbatteries.co.uk You can see the full range of e-bike batteries at, http://www.allbatteries.co.uk/battery/electric-bike-battery.html
February 28, 20179 yr Several Yamaha owners on here showing interest in a new battery. Does this indicate the early Yamaha batteries are already starting to lose capacity? If so, that's a bit disappointing, and may be one of the reasons why Yam bikes are usually cheaper than equivalent Bosch ones.
February 28, 20179 yr My Yamaha battery is 18 months old and seems to be as good as it was when new. I wanted a new battery to go further and faster.
