Backpack battery?

[Telewacker]

Does anyone make one? I'm thinking of converting my DH bike but there is no place to mount a battery. I see guys DIY but I don't want to go through all that. I'd buy one premade though.

The only ready made ones I know of from a company are from Paradox Kinetics, their system uses one. Not sure if they sell the battery by itself however, the stock battery is about 3kg without the backpack. They were able to make a smaller one when I enquired that was a couple of years ago though.

I found this on ebay. Seems like it might be suitable?

That one is 6.1kg (13.44 lbs) you really don’t want to carry that much weight in a solid block on your back ie high centre of gravity. It would be an absolute disaster if you crash you’d be looking at severe spinal damage.

If you definitely want to go this way lighter is better, what sort of places will you be riding ?
