December 30, 20178 yr Author only problem is its a 350w battery and the bikes only 250 so im guessing it will blow me motor ?
December 30, 20178 yr It won't blow the motor. The controller regulates the power to the motor, not the battery. I doubt that that battery is waterproof, so don't use in hard rain. Also, the connector on the bottom is screw-on. Not only is that a bit inconvenient but also it's easy to twist the wires so that they short out if you're not careful. I think that the other styles of down-tube batteries are better.

December 31, 20178 yr Although I have linked on another thread here is the link again for soft pack 18650's, ideal for pannier to rack bag use. https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/harvestmoonglory/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from= Cells in use. LG MJ1 10a 3500mah Sony US NC1 8a 2900mah Samsung 26J 5.2a 2600mah Samsung 29E 7a 2900mah Samsung 32E 6.4a 3200mah Samsung 35E 8a 3400mah tested.
January 14, 20188 yr I haven't tried one of those, but I think it's the one I would try next. Thats the exact one i bought £ 195 + £ 11 p+p. have put on my bbs conversion as the bracket of the shark case fits my other bike and this ones better for the bbs. It has a really solid metal bracket and location slots for fitting on the bottle mounts lower down.So avoids the central seat post being to close to fit.
