Drinking bottle battery

An e-bike water bottle battery is a battery for e-bikes that's designed in the shape and size of a water bottle and fits into the bike's bottle cage. It's a space-saving and visually unobtrusive solution for powering the e-bike or integrating an additional battery.

Features of a drinking bottle battery:

• Form factor: Looks like a conventional bicycle water bottle and is mounted in the bottle cage instead of a bottle.

• Capacity: Usually smaller than classic batteries, often between 150 Wh and 300 Wh, depending on the model.

• Use:

  • As the main battery for particularly light, minimalist e-bikes.

  • As a range extender (additional tank) to extend the range.

• Connection: Connected to the main system of the e-bike via a special cable system or interface.

• Advantages:

  • Very light (often under 2 kg).

  • Unobtrusive and stylish.

  • Easy to remove for charging.

• Disadvantages:

  • Limited range due to small capacity.

  • Often more expensive than traditional batteries when comparing the price per watt hour.

Who is a water bottle battery suitable for?

• Commuters who prefer a lightweight e-bike with a discreet look.

• Sporty riders who use the e-bike primarily as support.

• Touring riders who want to flexibly extend their range with an additional water bottle battery.
