Common uses: Yamaha 36 V PW-SE, PW-TE, PW-ST and PW-X in-tube, frame and rack batteries. Systems: Yamaha PW-X3 / PW-ST / PW-TE.

Yamaha uses its own keyed charge port on the 36 V PW-series packs, charged at 4 A by the Yamaha PW-LINK charger. Because Giant SyncDrive and older Haibike are re-badged Yamaha, the same charge interface often carries across those brands.
