yep, definitely will post a couple more pictures

That's a no go unfortunately. Tried it once before and the reservoir doesn't clear the swingarm.
scrambler said:About sliding the battery, am I to understand that at that width, you can tilt it from the side and it goes in?
If so that would mean we could probably get an even bigger battery in there filling more of the dead space below the top tube...

Brian, awesome that you were able to reuse that battery like that. I'll have to get a hurry up on building my larger pack soon so I can keep up with you 8)
That was my last analysisbriangv99 said:scrambler said:About sliding the battery, am I to understand that at that width, you can tilt it from the side and it goes in?

Yes, the battery is probably about 70mm wide and the internal frame width is 90mm, so tilting helps and is needed to slide the battery into position. Some of that dead space is needed to get the battery into position, but if you were so inclined you could slide an auxiliary pack in on top.

A non piggy back shock would free up a bit more space too.
Merlin said:if it has 90mm, why not going 21700 cells?
i have a 64 on its way and will do probably also an battery upgrade.
i have a god of metalwork at my side and if this is 90mm width iam freaking out because dreams come true
When I said two piece I meant single battery in the downtube, but in two pieces so it can be installed without the tilting limitations.Merlin said:2nd battery on toptube is plan B =)
Merlin said:I want it light as possible. I know most guys ride a lot throttle only.
but i want a pedal bike "this time".
i even ride my normal (13kg) mtb and enjoy it.
Merlin said:35E are the weakest you can buy. the voltage drop is so high on 8A that you hit LVC at 50% of your battery capacity.
you can better make one by yourself .briangv99 said:Merlin said:35E are the weakest you can buy. the voltage drop is so high on 8A that you hit LVC at 50% of your battery capacity.
My experience with an EM3EV 35E pack has been positive. so long as the discharge rate is around 1C average, so about an hour of riding, the pack voltage holds up well.
I've had direct a direct side by side comparison with CowardlyDuck's LMX64 with a Jumbo Shark built with Sanyo GA cells and if anything the 35E pack's voltage held up slightly better over the course of the ride.
Horse's for courses really, I wouldn't use 35E's in a race bike, but for the LMX they're a good match. Don't let that stop you buying a high capacity pack from EM3EV.
