Shimano on frame battery Steps 6000

Post by Bryan S »

Anyone got a solution for preventing water entering the battery connector on the bike when battery is off the bike? I have seen a cover available for the similar Bosch battery but so far not one for the Shimano.

Probably not the answer you are looking for but in lieu of there being a proper product are you able to use a latex or nitrile disposable glove to cover it and reuse a few times. Dialectic grease is often used as well and as an added general corrosion resistor for the contacts and helps stops the contacts becoming pitted from the battery spark when switching on. An other item used but not becoming for a bike is a shower cap.
