Which charger for battery for Pendleton Somerby e-bike?

[michaelbeijer]

Hi everyone,

I am looking to buy a charger for my Pendleton Somerby E-Bike Battery. The battery says the following on it:

Model: Demeter
D226719AP001M2
• 36V
• 8.7Ah

However, I can't for the life of me find where/how to buy a replacement charger.

The closest I got was this: https://www.halfords.com/cycling/bike-accessories/electric-bike-parts/pendleton-somerby-e-bike-battery-charger-2019plus-196214.html?cm_mmc=Google+PLA-_-Cycling>Bike+Parts>Electric+Bike+Parts-_-Cycling>Bike+Parts>Electric+Bike+Parts-_-196214&istCompanyId=b8708c57-7a02-4cf6-b2c0-dc36b54a327e&istFeedId=62b447cf-331e-4fec-a47a-9985ff72d404&istItemId=iqwmrwrmi&istBid=tztx&_$ja=tsid:|cid:14880115585|agid:127603077505|tid:pla-1433942378053|crid:550513245065|nw:u|rnd:8599128128857910556|dvc:c|adp:|mt:|loc:9045120&gclid=Cj0KCQiAys2MBhDOARIsAFf1D1fi-Sbz7DZL85M53pWgK2YPa3pqWaxIJ4l2vCqnEgSv1i2QjScDNc4aAvBNEALw_wcB

But the page says:

• 36 V
• 2 A

Welcome Michael

Your Halfords bike battery is rated at 36 volts and has a capacity of 8.7 Amps/hour.

The Halfords charger you link is for a 36 volt battery and will charge it at 2 Amps/hour, so it'll take roughly 4 to 5 hours to fully recharge a reasonably flat 8.7Ah battery.

Provided the plug on the Halfords charger fits the socket on your battery, it's the correct one. If in doubt, take your battery into Halfords and just check with them, because there have been a few changes over the years.

You'll likely find the same charger on Amazon and Ebay though at a lot less cost.

2a charge rate is pretty much the norm and is correct, lithium batteries for ebikes can't handle a fast charge without damage. Unlike a car they can't take a 20 or 30 minute charge to 80% because they only have a very small fraction of the battery cells.

Thanks to both of you, I think I have a better idea of what to look for now!

The charge point is DC 5.5mm x 2.1mm socket which is a common type used. All of my batteries and I bought and now make all my own have used this simple generic type.

This will work.

I'm also looking for a charger but my battery has a 5 pin socket. Can anyone help?

Hi Gazza

You need to be more specific: Do you mean a 5-pin for a Pendleton battery that looks like this one?

Apart from @Sturmey's suggestion above...

Halfords still sell original replacements for your bike/early Pendletons here.

And there's ebikebatteries (well regarded on this forum) who sell a version here. This version claims some ability to recharge even those batteries that otherwise appear dead (below the BMS cut-off).

Hi All
Thanks for the help.
I'm going with @cyclebuddy as the battery hasn't been used for a while and the issue could be low charge level.
Cheers
