Location for 52v battery pack

[zippy500zippy]

Thinking where to fit a battery pack, like it to be a bit stealthy. it will probably be a 52v 15ah pack.

Will be fitted to Hybrid bike will only be used for commuting.

I was looking at previous thread battery location. I dont think I will put it in the triangle looks to obvious, I looked a rack mounted kit, but then I have heard it is 6 Kg on the rack which can make the bike feel top heavy.

My next thought was back pack kit which seemed like a good idea but not sure now, which doesnt leave much else.

Is there such a thing where the battery can be fitted low down on the rear rack flat against the pannier frame.

Any ideas????

Thanks

First thought, why do you want/need nearly 800wh of battery?

It's a lot of battery. You only need it if you want to go very fast, or a long way.

52v 15Ah should be about 4kg. It's not LiFePO4 is it?

Two of these 52v batteries are less than 3 kg together. One of them fits in one of those tool bags that go under the saddle.

For the moment mine is in a pannier and the weight is just above the axle. It is in an aluminum toolbox with a stainless ring bolted to put a cable through. So it can be stolen by a well equipped thief. What he will then do with 4 lipo bricks... Maybe try and cut the wires? That would be fun to watch Or accidentally pierce one...

I am working on an every day short range battery that will go on the top bar in a Roswheel bag.

I like the idea of the Lunacycle battery will it be good for a BBSHD mid drive. is there a UK stockist for this, I can see this being expensive to ship and custom charges for 2 units
