500Wh battery with spacer in a Cube 625 bike?

[salubrious_k]

Hello again, another random question... hopefully someone will have tried this....

Has anyone tried to put a Bosch 500Wh Powertube with spacer attached (to make it the same length as a 625Wh Powertube) into a 625Wh Cube Stereo Hybrid?

Here is a photo of a 625Wh and 500Wh battery with spacer sat next to each other:

Anyone using the Bosch Dual battery system?

I'm curious if anyone on here has any experience with the bosch dual battery system. I can hardly find any info on it, i have ordered a system from my dealer. I have sourced a spare 400wh battery wich combined with my 500wh powertube should give me 900wh. Really excited for that. So has anyone...

I'm guessing that this should fit fine, as the contacts are the far end from the spacer, and, after all, the 500Wh battery with spacer is designed to be exactly the right dimensions?

I'm asking as I'm getting my wife a Cube Stereo Hybrid 625 but it looks like the only bike I can buy in my size is a Focus Thron2 with 500Wh battery (with spacer). But given I weight twice what my wife does, Im quite keen to switch the batteries!

Length wise, the 625 and the 500+ spacer should be the same, so as long as the 500 battery is a horizontal one it will fit in the cube with the spacer.

I.E If the Focus Thron2 you can get has the same battery in the picture you linked, you'll be good to go

Great! Thanks @MrPeaski! That answers my question. I have it on good authority that that is a Thron2 battery with spacer.

I now understand I would also have to switch the battery covers (as the Focus and Cube ones will be different) but as I want to make it a permanent switch I think that sounds like it should be fine.

The Cubes cover isn't fixed to the battery, so if you just wanted to take the 500 as a backup on a ride you could just leave the cover off that battery

Ignore that last one!
I understand now your pinching the wife's battery.....Naughty boy!
