That's not actually the case. It can be used as is, but also you can remove the parts to make it more streamlined if you want, quite easily. Then, of course, you'll have construct some kind of cable pressure relief, perform soldering etc... but in the end you end up with exactly what you want. I...
I ordered "female" rosenbergers from here: Rosenberger Buchse Steckverbinder Systeme C00-B2-300 C | eBay
sdcoffeeroaster, this your pack looks much nicer now, I think :) Basically it is the same idea as I used, only I also employed the disconnecting cables, which made the construction a bit burly
Quite strange that they are screwed only from the bottom then if in fact it can be screwed from the cage mount plate as well... But apparently that's enough also
just to confirm here - the two large holes on the opposite sides of cage plate mount, are they reserved for tec pack and not used otherwise? Should they be just left unscrewed?
The build is indeed a custom one, as it was the case with previous pack. To allow for a smaller ID you place a cell in the middle, then surround it by additional 6 batteries - like in a shape of flower. This way, resulting diameter for 7 batteries will be roughly 3 * diameter of single cell. So...
Re-assembled the battery to reduce it's weight and dimensions. Now it only 1.15kg, so can be held by magnetic fidlock system for quick release - very convenient. Mounting and dismounting it now takes just a couple of seconds.
The configuration is 10s2p, 3500 mah LG cells. First charge and ride...
I think it will look okay, esp if you would install black colored padding (this one looks gray?). On the other hand, these holes will fill up with dirt...
You can also try transparent anti-gravel tape I guess. The one I use is also self-adherent, so easy to install and protects quite decently...
Well, to be honest, I just orchestrated the process of the assembly: bought the pack, connectors, selected batteries etc. I did not do the soldering part -> offloaded this to local specialist; there are quite a lot in my country nowadays. Batteries used are 20 x 21700 LiitoKala's 5000mah...
Finally managed to assemble a battery pack, hopefully will find time to test it this weekend :) It is a bit on the longer side, but 378WAh, same as TEC.
I've used rosenberger connectors both as the outputs and inputs to the pack in hopes of using bike's charger... but seems it won't work that...
Hey, @stiv674 - thanks a lot for your reply and taking time to post a photo. I assume that when compressed, shock will lean towards TEC quite a bit... so maybe no space for piggyback MegNeg module
Hi everyone! My first post here :)
I've got 2018 Jam2 Plus, medium sized frame (specs are pretty much the same as here: Focus Bikes - JAM² Plus). Did a couple of upgrades already - cassette (SLX -> XT), chainring (34T -> 38T), assist shifter (8000 -> 7000), rear hub; replacing the stock fork...
