Mounting GM Li battery pack.
« on: March 27, 2009, 03:04:42 PM »
I tried mounting on rear rack, but the rack is not stable and I think it will break off the mounting points (of the rack).
I would like some details of how others mounted their battery pack. thanks, chester.

G'day  ccbreder,

It depends on which battery pack you're talking about. The original or the new one. I've got one of the original ones and you can see how I've mounted it by clicking http://goldenmotor.com/SMF/index.php?topic=348.msg3410#msg3410

ps. I recently bought a 2004 Kona Stinky downhill mountain bike with dual suspension and my next project will be to electrify it to a 48v system with appox 1000-1500watts for offroad use. I want to somehow mount the battery within the frame to have the weight in the middle for balance.

The problem is that it can't be rigid.

My batteries have a layer of foam between them and the
battery box.

That eliminates the major shock of small bumps, but I am
now looking for something that will give me more shock
absorber.  Something similar to the springer front-fork
on motorcycles.
