The charger that fits a Kona Remote 160 (Shimano E8000), the connector it uses, and the wrong unit to avoid.
Use the Shimano EC-E8004 / EC-E6002 charger. A Kona Remote 160 (Shimano E8000) charges through the Higo / Julet charge and signal connector at 4 A, so the correct charger is the Shimano EC-E8004 / EC-E6002 charger.
| Bike | Kona Remote 160 (Shimano E8000) |
|---|---|
| Drive system | Shimano STEPS E8000 / E7000 / E6100 |

A Kona Remote 160 (Shimano E8000) runs the Shimano STEPS E8000 / E7000 / E6100 and charges through the Higo / Julet charge and signal connector. The matching charger is the Shimano EC-E8004 / EC-E6002 charger at 4 A.
Current Shimano STEPS packs charge with the EC-E6002 or EC-E8004. The trap is the older EC-E6000: it uses the same connector but no longer charges newer BT-E8010 units, so a look-alike old charger can fail to work.
