Good to know

Shimano's chart shows the Gen.2 external BT-EN604/605/606 share a 'common frame mount' shape with these, but Gen.2 batteries need a Gen.2 battery mount and drive unit - looks similar, not interchangeable.
Mounts differ by battery (BM-E6010, BM-E8010, BM-E8016); a longer 17.5 Ah BT-E8016 needs a mount and frame space for it.
Shimano Gen.2 (BT-EN..., used with EP801/EP600/EP500) and 1st-generation (BT-E...) components: 'With some exceptions, first-generation and Gen.2 products ... are not compatible with each other.' Gen.2 batteries and mounts are marked 'Gen.2'.
'EP8' is used for both the DU-EP800 (1st gen) and DU-EP801 (Gen.2), and 'EP6' for DU-EP600 (Gen.2); check the drive-unit model number, not the marketing name.
Shimano: 'It is recommended to use a SHIMANO genuine battery' and 'Use the specified battery and battery charger combination for charging.'
The battery must also match the bike's battery mount and frame; Shimano's chart lists compatible mounts per battery. Watt-hours here are 36 V x the Ah Shimano states.
