Shimano helps with battery service

Shimano's e-bike systems include in-house batteries - and batteries from third-party providers. With the watt-hour packages from Darfon and Trend Power, Shimano is now making its service power available and optimizing the handling process if such a battery is not working properly. This eliminates the need to go through the bike or battery manufacturer. The compatible batteries are given a standardized label.

Until now, dealers who needed support with batteries from Darfon or Trend Power, which are installed in Steps systems, had to contact the bike manufacturer or the battery manufacturer. But now Shimano is optimizing this process. From July 2021, dealers across Europe will be able to have specific Darfon or Trend Power batteries serviced via the trusted Shimano network.

All compatible batteries will have a common label so that dealers can easily identify which batteries can be serviced via this new, simplified approach. The batteries will now be labeled with a special Shimano Steps service sticker. Dealers will also be able to see the battery model number in Shimano's E-Tube Project to check if the battery can be supported.

Every Shimano branch or Shimano representative in Europe will have service contracts with Darfon and Trend Power and will be able to supply replacement batteries and other spare parts such as chargers, plugs and cables to retailers. This is already the case for Darfon in Switzerland. The Trend Power material will follow.
