Link to Ortlieb Commuter Insert (includes measurements).
I would not fit the Vado battery which is 39 cm long, and the insert maximum dimension is 33 cm.Link to Ortlieb Commuter Insert (includes measurements).
Great setup Doug. Very well thought out and you have just eliminated range anxiety in the most practical manner. I have to say I have never seen/heard of the cradle til now. Thanks sharing!I made a battery sleeve out of a foam sleeping pad and then attached the battery to my bike with a Salsa EXP handlebar cradle and viole straps. Works really well.
That's why I recommend the Commuter Inserts! The Insert fills the bottom of the pannier, making it strong.I also considered the bike packers, but what I like about the eMate is that it has a fully reinforced bracing all over the bag.
No, Vincent, it doesn't. It is either red-black or black or navy or petrol. I chose the navy ones since they match my bikes'I got the high vis back rollers and I really like the color for safety, not sure if the bike packer comes in the high vis

The Insert is made of thick nylon and is by no means rigid itself. When you insert it into a Back Roller/Bike-Packer/Velo-Shopper, the whole structure becomes pleasantly stiff. When the battery is inside the Insert, it behaves like a hand in a thick glove. Friction makes the battery stay in place. When the bike rides over some bumps, the shock is absorbed by the Insert and the battery doesn't shake at all.Is it a hard bracing, or a foam bracing on the inserts?
How do you keep the battery from shaking around in the insert?
