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.

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.
