I bought an Elise folding e-bike from bicycles4U about 4 years ago. Despite being only 36V with a 6.6Ah battery the bike has served me well mainly cycling round cities.
Unfortunately bicycles4U seem to have gone -= they were only a few miles away but are no more.

The battery range is beginning to diminish and I wondered if anyone can help with a replacement. As you can see from the picture it needs to fit inside the frame and has a bevelled edge with key and connector on the end. The current battery id 6.6Ah but 10Ah would be great.
Thanks.
Mick

They don't seem to do internal batteries - maybe they could re-cell it but it's got a long way to go before that is needed. I really want a replacement battery to act as a spare for now.

It's probably a standard battery, not specific to that bike, but I don't know how you expect us to recognise it from that cryptic photo. Why didn't you show the actual battery if that's what you want?

Of course a proper pic would be more help
I have attempted to add pics below
I am guessing it’s a standard battery with an end so soaped to suit
It has a locking pin operated by key
Oh and it’s 8.8Ah not 6.6 I must have paid for an upgrade
So if anyone has any leads on old stock or a scrapped bike with battery that could be rebuilt let me know
Thanks

I doubt that you'll find one anywhere. You'll have to adapt your bike to take a similar one.

There are two parts that make contact when you fold the bike. The battery top becomes one part and the other part is attached to the other side and is removeable. You need a battery with its matching part, but they only seem to sell the batteries on their own, so you have to get a different type and fabricate or bodge some way of connecting it to the controller.

Just to update, I managed to find someone who had a battery and he had new cells put in it.
She all good.
Also had a wiring fault, traced it from handlebar control so had to bypass the wiring.
The alternative I am told is to fit a new and more powerful battery externally in the frame.
