Form follows function, right?...How about cooling fins on the batt box?....Just kidding, unless they are Li, I dont see it being of much use other than a rolling advertisement for a Gillette razor and your leg.
What I would like to see is batteries that are made to fit on a bike. To clarify, we are trying to fit a square peg in an almost round hole. This empty space from all the batteries to the edges might be enough to fit another battery and a half. The way I figure it, by volume of material, batteries can be made into any shape and have equal capacity. The batteries then would have to fill the empty space. Of course, that means that the batteries would only be unique to that vehicle and not be the cheaper universal box shapes. Or unequal batteries can be connected with an appropriate BMS. Of the cycles that I have viewed, the Killacycle has been the most efficient use of space- both now and when it ran with supercaps. --- Mike <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >Actually I think the fake cylinder heads look much > nicer than my > >battery box.
