Picked up this Crystalyte Triangle bag from us.itselectric.ca.
Cost about $45 shipped.

So upon taking this bag out of the shipping envelope, i notice that it is a lot smaller than i thought
First thing i notice is the battery output hole at the top.
Securing to the frame is partially done with these traditional sort of straps.
Conbined with the biggest velcro fastener ever at the top. Which is unfortunately too tall, due to my shifter/rear brake cables.
The bag is much more spacious on the inside than first percieved. However, there is no padding on this bag whatsoever.
There are very nice side pockets that would allow you to store other things inside.
The zippers are not the waterproof type.
Maximum lipo fill is 8 packs of 5AH 5S turnigy 20C packs. However, the fit is odd and will put lots of stress on the edges of the triangle.
However, 6 packs will fit inside comfortably.
This is what the bag looks like when closed with 6 lipo packs inside it. Not too bulgey, just right.
6S lipos should be able to fit inside. Or maybe even a 10ah ping.
This is what the pack looks like on the bike. Remember, this bike has a 19" frame.
This bag gets a 7 out of 10. The bag is very tough, but does not include any padding on the side where the battery contacts the frame metal. The sides are tough, but the frame side needs serious help. I also think that the non-velcro straps are not suitable for carrying a 5-15lb battery.
For smaller frames, small packs, or specially sized packs, this design could work well. But for my bike, it looks awkward.
