Where to Put MagicShine Battery?

[Edge705]

Hi Folks Im looking for ideas where I can put the magicshine battery as you can see my commute is a little tight on room havinv a short stem and small frame geometry any ideas

mine is in a hacked bottle in the front bottle carrier

 

[Edge705]

Nice thinking but Ive only got one set of lug holes and therefore restricted to one bottle cage and me likes a drink on me rides

Mine is slung under the cross bar, but I do ride a 60cm frame so I do have a tad more clearance.

I put mine on the handlebars, to the right of your gps, then mount the light under the bars on the other side to light up the verge.

I put mine on top of the top-tube, just behind the stem. Make sure you don't foul the gear cables with the strap, and a bit of electrical tape will stop it rolling underneath

I do not have one myself yet, but I am planning on getting one for the winter, but what my understanding is as I have read that others carry the battery in a Topeak Tribag on the top tube. If this does not work, then I too will be stumped. From your pics, its hard to get the dimensions of the battery.

Just put it at the back of the top tube, plenty of room!

Another vote for the top tube.

Back of the top tube, might have to fit a smaller bottle

I am playing about with trying to find the 'best' location for my battery pack, mostly because I also have a y-connector cable for a rear light and the cabling is a bit untidy...so far I have found it fits with onto the downtube, the toptube and even the seatpost (facing forrward and even with QR bracket facing the other way)

Mine is in my pannier.

Have you any spare space in your saddle bag? could you fit a bigger bag and put the battery in there?

 

[Noodley]

In my situation the cable is not long enough for saddlebag storage, but it might be with shorter arses top tubes

Same question. I want to buy one to put on my folding bike, but am not sure what to do with the battery. No top tube, bottle holder etc. I do have a large seat bag, but I can't string a wire back there and still be able to fold it.

Attached images show the cycle, and with the handle bar folded.

thanks for any suggestions
