Spare Battery for Carrera Crossfire-e?

[redcup1999]

I was just browsing ebay and came across this:

The battery casing looks identical to that for the crossfire-e (and has the same joycube sticker), but only has 10.4ah capacity.

Is this a "standard" battery type? Is it possible to get this sort of battery cheaper elsewhere?

I'm perfectly happy with one battery at the moment, but just thinking ahead.

Speak to these guys. They may be able to advise you better.

Hi says suitable for Greenway electric bikes only, but do look very similar to the Carrera battery.
Would also like to source for future reference a spare supplier for this particular bike. I know Halfords would but I expect they will be top price.

Speak to the people in the link I've provided above. From what I've read here, they may be able to help with battery queries, replacement and resupply.

The picture clearly shows only two contacts in the slots on the base, so it'll work on any bike provided that you have a matching receiver and the controller doesn't communicate with the battery's management system.

The case is probably standard, but what's inside might not be, so you need to look inside the receiver of the Crossfire to see how many wires are connected. If it's only two, you'll be OK.

Thanks for that valuable information - Crossfire-E looks like it uses all 6 slots in the base - which means this battery would not be compatible.

Just found that Halfords are now selling the official spare battery and charger for the crossfire-e, £350 for the battery and £36 for the charger...all we need now is a 10% flash sale and pickup from store present your British Cycling membership for another 10%, that'll bring the battery down to an acceptable £270
