April 19, 20224 yr Hi, I have a Carrera Hellcat 18" 2021 and I'm looking a bottle downtube located battery to fit in the triangle. I'll be matching the battery to a bbshd. I've measured the inside of the triangle at 580mm/ 450mm/ 330mm. Most of the batteries have dimensions like 370*90*110mm. Would this fit inside? I think it would be very close but I'm not sure. My back up is a triangle battery but I like the bottle mounted ones better. Appreciate any help and if I've left anything out let me know. Thanks
April 19, 20224 yr Quite simple really. Use old cereal packs and cut them up to make the shape to match the battery dims, then insert in the triangle to see if it fits. Allow an extra 20mm to lift the battery off the cradle and up away from the bottom.

The issue I had with this method was; the dimensions are given as if the battery was rectangular; not taking into account the slopes found at the front and sometimes the back of battery's ( I think it's going to be soo close that the slopes are going to matter). I'm fine if I have to mount it semi permanent as I can't see it sliding in and out as normal. I will have another look to see if I've done the cardboard battery cutout accurately.
