Indeed there's been a LOT of e-bike battery fires, so that's why with designers and engineers in France we've spent some time designing a battery casing that efficiently contains explosions and flames, to safeguard your home, you can check it here if interested! (it's also a repairable battery, so it saves CO2 compared to a standard battery over the long term. Oh, and we're in the process of doing the UL certification right now)

I've got a tern e-bike with a Bosch motor, I love taking it on long rides. You've made a compelling case for replacing the existing battery, but what does the story look like for replacing cells in 5 years? Do I have to replace them all at once? One at a time as they fail?

Also, how swappable or parallel are the batteries? I'd love to be able to have two batteries for days when I want to ride 100 miles. My existing Bosch battery only has a ~60 mile range and I'd love to push that up.

Also, do they have a usb port on the battery for power? Running lights, charging my phone, or powering a GoPro from the bike battery would be so helpful.


Yes! It will work, and you can also combine it to have a dual battery setup


you can look at the Datex Battery Mixer that we sell as an option when checking out


This looks great! User-swappable cells, fire-proof casing, convenient handle. Price is still competitive.

I'm currently charging my eBike battery at home in the oven, to contain thermal runaway should it ever happen. This thing would solve this.


Thanks so much!! Appreciated
