Battery Safety
E-Bike Battery Safety, Your Top Concern, Our Top Priority
At Giant, we understand your concerns about E-Bike battery safety. That's why our E-Bikes boast industry-leading safety features, giving peace of mind every time you charge and ride.
Advanced Thermal Management
Unlike generic batteries, ours feature a sophisticated Battery Management System (BMS) that continually monitors and regulates the internal temperature of each cell. This smart system automatically adjusts charging rates to prevent overheating, which is a major cause of battery degradation.
Multi-Layered Protection
We go beyond temperature control. Our batteries come equipped with multiple electronic safeguards against overcharging, protecting your battery from power surges and overheating. The internal casings are made of a honeycomb fire retardant plastic which will melt around the cell in the case of a fire to limit the risk of thermal runaway and heat propagation.
Built to Withstand the Unexpected
Accidents happen, but your battery shouldn't suffer. All Giant E-Bike batteries have robust casings designed to survive at least a 1 metre drop onto concrete from any angle. Select models with metal casings offer an extra layer of protection, withstanding up to a one-tonne force.
Unparalleled Waterproofing
Weather can be unpredictable. That’s why each battery has a waterproof casing and an internal waterproof sleeve, shielding the cells and the BMS from moisture, a crucial safety feature.

Performance and Extended Lifespan
E-Bike Battery Life, A Buyer's Concern?
Let’s face it, E-Bike battery replacement costs can be a concern. Some brands offer batteries lasting as few as 350 charges, which may not be ideal for a regular rider or someone planning to keep their E-bike for a few years.
Giant E-Bike Batteries, Built to Last Significantly Longer
At Giant, we prioritise your investment. Our E-Bikes boast industry-leading battery lifespans, reaching an impressive 2300 full charge cycles. That's at least double the lifespan of our competitors!
What Does This Mean for You?
Imagine charging your Giant E-Bike battery from 0% to 100% a staggering 2300 times. This also includes any combination of smaller charges that add up to 100%. For example, 50% charges can be done a remarkable 4600 times!
Reduced Replacement Costs, Increased Peace of Mind
With such a long lifespan, you can virtually eliminate the need to factor in replacement battery costs during your Giant E-Bike ownership. This translates to significant savings and peace of mind.
Environmentally Friendly E-Bike Batteries
Beyond user benefits, our commitment extends to the environment. We design batteries with longer lifespans that require less chemicals over the life of the bike. Partnering with a specialist recycler, we ensure as mush of your battery is responsibly reused or recycled, far exceeding what local councils can achieve. Battery return is free, simply bring it to any Giant stockist.
Experience Rapid E-bike Charging
Fast E-Bike Charging, Get Back on the Bike Quicker
If you use your E-Bike as a day-to-day commuter or want to do back-to-back EMTB rides then charging time is an important factor for you. There are two factors that determine E-Bike charging time -
Battery Capacity, Larger batteries naturally take longer to charge.
Charger Amp Rating, Higher amps equate to faster charging, but with limitations.
Safety First, Using the Right Charger
Always use a charger specifically designed for your E-Bike system.
Giant's Advantage, Powerful 4 & 6 Amp Chargers
All Giant, Liv, and Momentum E-Bikes come equipped with either a 4 Amp or 6 Amp charger. Both chargers minimise heat build up and stress on the battery. All batteries are compatible with both chargers, offering flexibility.
Giant VS Competitors
Unlike most brands offering 2 or 4 Amp chargers, Giant prioritises speed. Compared to competitors, Giant E-Bikes typically recharge faster. Charging time examples from 0-80% charge -
Lithium-Ion Batteries
Demystifying E-Bike Batteries
E-Bikes are revolutionising commutes and leisure rides, but a key component often goes unnoticed - the battery. While most E-Bikes rely on Lithium-Ion batteries, there's a hidden world of variation within this technology.
Six Types of Lithium Ion, Understanding the Difference
Six distinct types of lithium-ion batteries exist, each boasting unique characteristics and price points. Some excel in high energy density (compact size for a given capacity) and long lifespan, while others focus more on cost. Longer-lasting, higher-density cells come at a price.
Giant's Advantage: Lithium Cobalt Manganese for Peak Performance
At Giant, Liv, and Momentum, we equip all of our E-Bikes with Lithium Cobalt Manganese batteries. This specific type offers a winning combination of two crucial benefits -
Extended Battery Lifespan, Benefit from a longer lasting batterry, knowing it is built to last.
High Energy Density, Our batteries deliver impressive power without compromising the sleek aesthetics and are compact for a given capacity.
The E-Bike Battery Landscape, Beyond Giant
While Giant prioritises Lithium Cobalt Manganese for its advantages, the E-Bike market utilises four other Lithium-Ion variations. This diversity translates to a range of battery qualities and performances across different brands.
Giant: Optimised Power and Long-Lasting Performance
By selecting high-performing Lithium Cobalt Manganese batteries, Giant E-Bikes provide riders with a powerful and reliable solution. Experience the freedom of extended rides and explore further with the confidence that Giant technology delivers.
Quality & Performance
Beyond the Cells, Giant's E-bike Battery Advantage
Giant E-Bikes boast best-in-class performance, and it all starts with the battery. Sure, we use Panasonic, the world leader in battery cell manufacturing. But that's just the beginning.
The Power of the BMS, Optimising Every Ride
Inside every Giant E-Bike battery lies a hidden hero: the Battery Management System (BMS). This critical piece of hardware regulates charging, discharging and overall battery health.
Giant & Panasonic, A Partnership for Peak Performance
Our unique collaboration goes beyond sourcing cells. Panasonic designs and manufactures the BMS specifically for Giant, Liv & Momentum, ensuring perfect compatibility and optimised performance for every model.
The Giant Advantage, Unleash Lasting Power
By controlling both cells and BMS, Giant E-Bikes unlock maximum potential and extended battery life. Experience the difference – explore further with confidence.
