- Here is how to replace the battery on an electric bike. If you have an E bike with a dead battery, and you want to replace the battery inside of the battery case, it is possible to buy a replacement battery and put it in your existing case. This can save you some money, and it is easy to do. A new battery in a case can cost $100 more then a new battery on its own. In this video I show you how to open up your battery case, disconnect the old battery, and connect the new battery to the charging case so that you will have your old ebike battery case with a new battery. Watch this video to learn how to DIY replace the battery in an E bike.
Here's an example of a battery for sale. Make sure you find the right size and voltage:

Excellent How To Video without annoying music exactly what I wanted to see before I open mine up. Thankyou for sharing
You’re welcome.
Thank you man. Ive just started my daily life of using ebike and got worried in the future where the battery goes out on me so I searched all over the internet where to buy the removable battery. No luck on anything because I didnt know the thing was only a casing and to replace it, you needed to change the actual battery inside. Thanks for shedding my worries away in the future man.
You’re welcome
I totally agree with other viewers; great video without annoying music. Many thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.
You’re welcome!
Thank you, this will save me buying a whole new battery. 👍👍👍
You’re welcome
*Works great my **Latest.Bike** I have a bad knee so I still get exercise but the bike assists me. I am a big guy so I didn’t think it would go as fast but it works great.*
Thanks for posting this it has just got me out of a jam I was just given 2 new ones and needed to harvest the batteries and did not know what to expect when I pulled it apart which any tech know can go south on you very quickly they are a small bomb when things go wrong.
Thank you very much for the explaining
You’re welcome
Thank you for sharing it! Great information (and pretty useful too)
I'm looking to buy jetson j8 battery replacement, but no luck and look for diy on build battery pack myself, and looks for diy on dealing on the cable only...thanks for the informative videos like this.
Really helpful thank you
Nice work!!! Thanks for sharing
You’re welcome
Thanks for informative video. Looks a quite feasible job for an amateur.
You’re welcome
Hi I am looking for a charger for an iride 1016c electric bike any suggestions? It does not have a 3 pin adapter for the charging port. Or do you have any suggestions for batteries. The bike is discontinued. PS Thank you for this tutorial also
Thx for the valuable info , always has been a concern of how expensive a new battery is , only to find out I can save a lot of money just buying one without the case
You’re welcome. I made this video along time ago, and since then I’ve seen that there are companies online who will rebuild bike batteries with new cells for you. That’s probably a safer option than doing it yourself. But that being said, the bike still works great with the battery I put in it. And my house hasn’t burned down.
Nice work 💪 Keep more video's coming 📹
Thanks
*I bought a case like this but the wires in the ignition key were so skinny I soldered some 12awg ones instead*
Thanks a lot for this useful tutorial.. I have a similar battery with Alu case and lock/switch at top.. I need to replace the inner battery and I bought a proper size one at Aliexpress.. My question is: my new battery pack has in it (the manufacturer says) a Bms control.. The pack is wired as yours, cables for charging and cables for output current.. Hence, according to you my pack (with bms) can be connected just as yours? Do you think that my ebike can have another bms outside the battery? Thanks really a lot, Marco from Italy
That’s a good question. I don’t know the answer.
agood vid but, i have aluminum simuliar case ,but has a three pronge pc male connector ,female dc connector and a locking key switch . all new all unwired. how do it wire the new battery with different connectors to mate them together? thanks emily
I need to change my Beach Cruiser Ignition & Battery Lock so this gives me a idea of what to expect
but what was the size of the battery pack? physical size and hom many Ah did you fit in it
I’m trying to find out how I can change the battery on a yamee fat bear from 48v to 52v and this helps so much I’ve heard I should also change the controller..is the processes some what the same just pop one for the other minus the changing of the metal case of course
It’s probably the same process. I can’t say for sure, but I think these are all pretty much the same. You should be able to wire the new battery into the old controller.
Thank you so much man
You’re welcome
Great Video. Could you have spliced the wires for the charging plug coming from the battery and used your old charger plug and charger or no?
Yes.
Ya hit the trifecta on this one. Bike update, repair steps, and a burnout.....You'll have a hard time topping this video!
Thanks. I hope this one helps a lot of people out. This makes replacing a burned-out battery on one of these bikes a lot cheaper.
I would have cut the negative first solder. Then cut the red and solder. Avoid accidents
How did the cao mm battery work out ? Did it take you on longer distances than the original battery ?
I would have cut the negative first solder. Then cut the red and solder. Avoid accidents , but very informative
Where do you find these battery and how do you know how to wire the new one ? Do you reccomend a repair company?
I also have a battery box like this on a fat tire bike and I think battery is coming to end of life its a 48v 15mah and I was wondering I'm thinking of putting a 750w motor wheel on it I was wondering wat kind of battery pack could I put in this box for max power and speed
Who builds the caomm battery ? I can find them. But, I want a specific caomm battery. Because i know they are good.
I've got the same unit. I see when you push the battery button one led is not lighting up. Is that usual? I'm also having issues with the removal of the battery, lots of goo. Battery is 4 years old, and when going uphill it just stops... So probably a new battery...
SUP YOUR ALMOST ON 100k keep it up!!
Thanks!!!! I am so close! I’ve been trying to get to 100,000 for 10 years! I’ll be really happy when I get that plaque from CZcams.
U know I am so proud that I subbed it would. Make my day if u could be my 25th subscriber😍
I subscribed!!! Keep making videos. All the numbers will grow over time. It took me 10 years to get to 97,000.
OMG TY SO MUCH I have never been sub by a YT thanks a lot 🙏🏽
Can you please show me how to put back the key ignition on the battery cuz my battery key ignition switch came out
Do you know of any ebay ebike batteries that are good (brand names) ?
This was great but you breezed over the most important and dangerous part: Attaching the wires !!! All of a sudden the battery was wired up !! You had me up to that point because it was clear and concise
I was about to say the same thing! That's the whole reason why I clicked on the video.
If you can't work out that you bare the two cut wires and just solder them together to the original wires to the switch then insulate them, you shouldn't be doing this kind of job.
He literally explains what to do?
yea he spend the vidoe talkin about glue and tape...the guy is a moron thinking anyone gives a tuned in for that
This all sounds good in theory, but how did it workout looking back 3 years later?
It still works.
How do you connect this to a custom electric bike, pls explain
I bought one 48v 20mah. It run fine for the first 25 miles with my 1000w kit. It still shows 2/5 bar before i charged it. The problem start from here. After finish charging, it no longer output voltage. Troubleshooting and open the whole thing out based on seller's instruction. No thing works. They sent new BMS but it did not help. They sent new battery as a replacemwnt but i had to pay $70 for shipping they claimed. It took almost 1 month to come. The big box finally arrived. It is the size of 5 batteries combine. The box got bitten up badly. No shipping foam or support materials in there. The battery probably bounced couple thousands time on the way. It got damage and scratches all over the place. Dusty as well. No more word to say. I dont think they want to do any business
Check your charger, fuse, and keyswitch.
Bms is no good.
I watched ur vids ever since the 2 wheeled skateboard congrats!
Thanks!!!!!
Excellent video. Easy to follow but the link brings you to Amazon and they're out. Any other sources and what is a reasonable price for a 36V 10amp hours block battery?
I know they sell a lot of these on eBay, but I don’t know which ones are better than others. If possible, you want to get Samsung cells.
What was the sound of the soldering again?
work ok moped?
That white glue is heat sink glue used in led bulbs. You can use caulking silicone sealants instead.
hahahah Pair of Pruning shears too funny, but hey it works!!!
Thanks good videio. 5:25 did you just hit something :)
Can I put a 52v battery in my 48v case
Hi I have a battery like this and where u put the fuse the housing inside has broke clean off and it has made it so I can't reattach it I was wondering could I use a fuse clamp from a wall plug and put a rubber installation round it ?
You may be able to do that. I would be worried that it would vibrate loose. If you could solder it as well, that would be better.
So those eBay packs come with a BMS inside?
Without it those new batteries won’t last long at all folks.
I'm dealing with an issue where my battery is good but the circuit inside fails, is there a way to hard worker the battery directly to the jumpers plugs on the bike?
Don't do it. You must use a BMS or it will be dangerous!
I just bought another battery and it has 3 wires off the battery, pos & neg for power, 1 for the charger port, crazy thing is the second wire goes from the charger port to a fuse....i need help reconnecting this
No bms on this?
Great video but before I go this route what are your thoughts on throwing the dead ebike battery in the freezer for a day does that work to revive it?
I doubt it. I think cold is bad for batteries. Most cars and trucks in cold climates have batteries go bad a lot quicker than cars in warm climates.
No you will take that battery completely apart find the dead cells replace them reassemble Now you have 2 Quality batteries
Next Question Lol. Yep unless you Love spending money sooner or later you DIY. Save and learn. Bonus battery
@@hoohoohoblin batteries in cars and trucks are lead acid battery, which is different chemistry. No use comparing them. That being said, I do agree and also doubt there is any use in putting a battery in a freezer.
No. And charging a very cold lithium battery can damage it permanently and cause a dangerous fire even later!
I pulled the old battery out, it has positive and negative on both ends. The bottom has two prongs for connection. Top is for charge port and key. I don't see battery's sold with both negative/positive on both ends ?? Any advice
Check the BMS wiring instructions. You can add discharge wires from the top+BMS output, to the discharge port at the bottom of the case.
Hello. Does the key stop you from sliding the battery out the case? Or?
The switch is connected to the battery with wires. The key pops a little pin in and out that can be used to lock the battery onto a bike rack. It doesn’t stop the battery from being slid out of the casing.
@@hoohoohoblin thanks just saw your reply. CZcams does not send notifications. I bought it and connected it in parallel with my other battery I have 😊
You think in rainy days that cover will be enough for the charging port?
How well does this battery work what is the range and what kind of ebike do you have?
It’s a generic eBike kit from eBay. It was about 30 miles on a charge. It’s a 48 V thousand watt kit.
How many amps is the battery. Range throttle or and pas? thx im 180 u
Can i replace my battery 48v 10.4ah with another 48v 13ah/16ah ?
My ebike is running about 25km ,i want to increase it to 35 km at least. Any idea if new different AH battery can harm controller or bike motor ?
That’s a good question. I’m not sure if there is a fuse in there that will shut it down if there’s too much power.
You can take a look at the products I found on Amazon：www.amazon.com/X-go-Battery-Lithium-Electric-48v/dp/B098XKXBTM/ref=sr_1_15?crid=1IBVZ5ENXJVGQ&dchild=1&keywords=x-go+ebike+battery&qid=1630034108&refresh=1&sprefix=x-go+%2Caps%2C1134&sr=8-15
As long as you are in the same voltage 48v 13 ah or 20 ah will work
You can definitely replace the battery with *larger* capacity. The controller and BMS limit the current. If you can fit 15 or 16 Ah in the case, don't bother with smaller.
@@mrtechie6810so it won’t make your bike faster / more power . I would like more speed and it doesn’t climb hills to well .. I have the maxfoc x-1 . It’s not a big issue but if there is a way to upgrade I would want to
Thank you your no joke we drink 🍻
You’re welcome.
Can you tell me what a battery bag is ? I assume that for some, the idea to replace a battery and do what you did here is too much so they buy a replacement battery like you did then put them in a bag which they then strap to the battery rack ? But its not only cost. For my maker they went out of business so I'm stuck with a nearly new bike and a battery that was garbage. So of course, I want to just replace the battery guts and not the battery case. I will do what you did. Thank you again
You’re welcome. I would guess a battery bag is a fabric case that you can Velcro onto a luggage rack.
Battery bag is bag that holds your battery not a case
Can I use a solar panel to charge the battery?
I bet you could, but it would take a long time.
Hy my electric bike windgoo battery 36v and 6AH can I use 48v battery
I think so. People say that most motors are built to handle either one.
I bought a new 36v battery got it today, problem is it only has 1 copnnector & a charging port Only .......my Old battery had 2 connectors.............. problem is without that 2nd wire hooked up the bike cant power up. .. seems Ancheer would make an adapter or the battery maker would or something.
I have an ancheer foldable with blue square battery 36v 8A... if I get a knock off battery will it ruin the motor on the bike...also how can I charge it out of the bike..thanks
Yes. It will still run the bike. Ideally, you probably want to buy a battery that is the same size and shape as the one you have now. This way you can just put it in the old ones box.
As long
as he has the volts and amp hours if it's a knock off the battery won't kill the motor..run

I mean rubber maid gloves
Hey can you help me plzz ive got 36v/10AH LITHIUM-10N BATTERY on my bike and its not working i think the cells need to change your way is much easier to rigenerate battery can you help where can i find the battery like your thank you im from italy
I am in the USA, and there are a lot of people selling them on eBay. In the ad, they will tell you the size of the battery and how much power is in it, so you just need to get one that’s the same dimensions as your original battery. I don’t know if they do international shipping, or if you look at eBay in Italy if there are any sellers in your country.
@@hoohoohoblin is that okay if i put the 36v 15 or 20 ah battery or its depend on motor of by cycle
How did you connect the battery to the motor? did you have to make a hole through the box? I didn't see any plugs.
It has a plug, similar to the plug you would use on any appliance that plugs into a recessed socket in the battery box.
@@hoohoohoblin that plug is like a triangle, I cant find any connectors for it, could you help me out?
You connect the battery to the BMS and the BMS to the controller.
Hello there! What is the length, width, height in millimeters of the original battery, also for the replaced battery? Please advise!
I don’t remember, but it was just about exactly the same. They both fit in the box.
They way you dropped the knife on the battery made me shxt my pants
i did not know you can buy just the core ! whats the difference in price !?
Battery prices have come down a little bit since I bought my original battery, but a new one would be around $250 including the case and charger. If you just buy the blue battery, it’s $125. A battery with a charger costs $10 more. So I’d estimate the average savings between 100 and $125.
@@hoohoohoblin If thats the case, then why does your link show the Amazon rice at $269 ?
Shrink wrap or insulation tape would of been better because it's made for heat as well as to cover. Gorilla tape might melt and fall off, boom.
Instead of Gorilla tape you could put a bead of silicone sealant around the battery at each end. That would be easy enough to cut through if needed.
Thanks. That’s a better idea for sure.
What is the name of battery type
Buy 10 amp cells. Minimum 6 usually Samsung 5.9. You have to be at or above 20 amp remember. You can jog faster than a 12 amp controller Lol that's 24v.great for 3 wheeler
What do you mean minimum 6 usually 5.9?
❤
I can replace a 48v lithium ion battery for e-bike with a 24v lifepo4 transformed
Does somebody have an idea how to get off the white glue when its around a corner/on the underside of the battery?
You just have to use a thin knife or screwdriver and be careful not to cut into the battery. It’s rubbery silicone glue.
Same issue here, lots of goo....
what did you do with your old battery?
Hello sir
Rubber cleaning gloves to prevent electrical shock
On top of ur battery there is a black plastic star screw what is it for please driving bananas it's a 5:11sec near end of vt
get that sodaing done lol.
I don’t know what happened to my bike, the battery seems to be full but the bike doesn’t turn on
I'm trying to get mine out of the case 🤣
How good is the blue battery they cost way less cause they are generic
It’s probably the same exact battery that was in the original one. I can’t tell you how good it is yet, because it’s still new. I hope it lasts a while.
@@hoohoohoblin how is it holding up? I just bought a 48v 14ah battery from this brand and I hope it holds up well.
@@FonderASalvastine u like so far
@hoohoohoblin how's the generic blue battery holding up? Are you able to do a lot of biking with it these days?

Bike ka battery chahiye kya kahan se milega hamen
Jeez, I’m not sure I’d want to put a knife anywhere near a lithium ion cell.
What a wonderful way to explode your bike
I find it’s the same price if I just buy the whole thing brand new
That’s possible. Most of the cost of these things is the batteries themselves. I’m sure prices have come down since I made this video as well.
Nice Wire Cutters! Gorilla Tape? Shoo-Goo? Talk about a half-assed operation!
My battery looks same as this one
30 dollars max is for the case... And stuff inside without battery, not so much...
He was never seen again…
I thought the battery comes with charger?
You can buy it with or without the charger. I bought it with the charger.
Put some tape around the wires!!! Cowboy
Just be careful of brands
w i t f would ever do this??? i cant even get the battery switched without sparks and smoke help me with a real problem
I wouldn't dick around with cheap batteries and risk my bike catching fire or blowing up.
didn't you put a fake cell battery in it?
meanwhile on gasoline you just fill it up
Yes, if the engine still runs. The gas bike conversion kit we bought broke down every time we tried to ride it before somebody eventually stole it.
If your gasoline engine breaks down it's a lot more work to fix than a simple battery like this.
Never had a problem with mine and its 25 years old. Now try that with electric
@@1marcelfilms You've never had any maintenance / fixes done? What model / manufacturer, I guess Japanese?
Gas bikes are horrible. I ended up putting 800$ into mine but every single time I rode it another problem popped up. My preference is absolutely an ebike. Sad thing is, I had a 66cc engine, and it was slower than my current 1000w 48v ebike!!! Gas bikes are absolutely NOT reliable.
Did you crash?! XD
This bike’s been crashed a few times. A cruiser with a coaster brake wasn’t designed to have 1000 W motor that can do 30 miles an hour on the front wheel. It’s lots of fun though!
Pretty dumb cutting adhesive under a lithium ion battery with sharps very dumb bro
