The advantage of the 36V set is you don’t need to flash your scooter and you don’t need a new higher voltage charger: the set is “Plug and Play”. The disadvantage is you don’t get top speed improvement. Consider the 48V set if you want more speed and it’s not a problem for you to flash the scooter.
The set includes the following parts:
36V 26Ah internal battery for Xiaomi PRO / PRO2 – 1 pcs,
Extended bottom cover for Xiaomi PRO / PRO2 – 1 pcs.
The battery is assembled of high quality branded 18650 cells, we normally use LG M29. The battery is equipped with a smart BMS(Happy BMS), which provides full hardware compatibility with Xiaomi e-scooters.
The extended cover is milled of a solid HDPE sheet and reinforced with 1mm steel plate, which ensures great durability and battery protection.
The set is compatible with Xiaomi PRO / PRO2. The set is not compatible with Xiaomi M187 / M365 / Essential / 1S / Mi3 / 4 PRO / 4 Ultra.
Xiaomi M365 / 1S / Essential / Mi3 sets are also available, check the related products below.

PROS: Much more battery longevity! The original battery lasted almost 2 days when new, and only lasted one day after 2.5 years of use before requiring a full charge to be usable again. On my daily usage, the new 26Ah battery lasts for 3 days with around 40% charge left, only requires 2 full charges a week, and it’s always at full strength even at 40% which is the same as the original at around 85% charge. So yeah, no more crappy top speed when I forget to charge the battery overnight!
CONS: It takes longer to charge, about 6.5% per hour, which means it takes almost 10 hours to go from 40% to 100%. For some reason, the Happy BMS controller adds up 5 partial charges and 1 full charge when doing a full charge, according to the m365 Tools App, which is not a game changer, but oddly annoying. The battery doesn’t screw to the underside of the scooter like the original PRO2 battery did, so it’s just held on by the 19 screws of the new extended cover, which IS a snug fit and doesn’t move at all, but the weight is all on the extended cover instead of just being bolted to the scooter, so I’ll just keep a lookout to make sure no screw head snaps due to the vibrations and the weight of the battery, which is roughly 2.2kg heavier than the original 8kg one.
CONCLUSION: The PROS definitely outweigh the CONS, because having a PRO2 scooter at full strength for 3 days straight with still 40% charge left is definitely a life changer for me.
