Dedicated to e-bikers who need more powerful batteries, for the 2017 season Bosch eBike Systems has introduced a novelty on the market: DualBattery, the combination of two Bosch PowerPacks connected via a Y-cable. For each type of battery, double power pack with a power of up to 1.000 Wh allows you to cover greater distances, overcome steeper climbs and carry heavier loads. The new product has been specially designed for intensive use. The batteries can be mounted by the electric bicycle manufacturer both on the frame or on the frame and on the luggage rack.
Greater distances, less frequent refills
“Representing the energy reserve of an electric bicycle, the battery is a decisive element for the proper functioning of the entire system. Every e-biker has unique needs and uses their bike in a different way. We have developed DualBattery to best suit each usage mode, ”explains Claus Fleischer, Head of Bosch eBike Systems. There are those who travel long distances and those who often face uphill stretches. There are those who use it to go to work and those to travel.
For every need you need the right solution. The Bosch DualBattery, introduced in the 2017 season, was designed for e-bikers who love high speeds, travel long distances, overcome greater gradients, carry large loads and therefore want to recharge less frequently. The dual capacity of the DualBattery is perfect for cargo e-bikes, ideal for small city transports, for electric bikes, commuter S-Pedelecs that cover long distances and for trekking bikes for those who are always on the go.
Double charge with DualBattery
Bosch PowerPacks are among the lightest batteries on the market and with the highest energy density. By combining two PowerPacks 500, up to 1.000 Wh of energy is available with DualBattery. The DualBattery is installed directly by the bicycle manufacturer and the two batteries can be recharged using the same socket. The system that connects the two batteries via a Y-cable, can combine two frame batteries or a frame battery and a roof rack battery and automatically switches from one battery to the other, both in charging and during charging. use. In addition to the increased autonomy, it also prolongs the life of the battery, because the performance is divided equally.
DualBattery works in conjunction with Nyon or the Intuvia display and is only available as original equipment. The approach valid for many other components of our company is also applied to DualBattery: the PowerPacks 300, 400 and 500 can be combined in different ways.
DualBattery comes from the combination of two Bosch PowerPacks, connected via a Y-cable.
DualBattery has been designed for e-bikers who love high speeds, who travel longer distances, who overcome greater gradients and who carry heavier loads, and who would therefore like to recharge less frequently.
