Battery Bag Options

[Aushiker]

I am in the processing of converting one of my recumbent bikes over to e-assist, either the Bacchetta Giro 20 ATT or a my LoGo P-38 (see thread here).

Anyway on aspect I need to sort out is a battery bag for the battery. If I go with the Bacchetta the battery will be mounted on a rear rack, but with the LoGo P-38 will need to be hung off the side of the left pannier rack (these are low down besides the rear wheel). I am chasing suggestions on battery bags. I have found a few but if anyone has other recommendations or thoughts on what I have found please do share. The battery that I plan to use, a EM3EV 50V 14.5Ah measures 203mm x 138mm x 75mm.

Big Ole Bag - I found the Big Ole Bag but that is really too big at least for the LoGo P-38



Canvas Battery Bag - Smaller and suitable for the Bacchetta and maybe doable on the LoGo but again on the big size.



Trunk Bag - What would have been idea is the Trunk Bag but it is too small for my planned battery



So if you have any suggestions, I am all eyes

Thanks
Andrew

Hey Andrew, this is a great list of battery-ready bags... I had a great experience recently with the bags from Leed. They include mid-frame options that hang down from the top tube as well as a rear rack bag that resembles the NYCeWheels Trunk Bag you shared but might be a bit larger to fit your pack.



Unfortunately, I can't find the trunk bag on their website? Here's a picture from the review I did. It's the smallest square looking pack at the bottom of the image. You could probably contact them to get more info.



There are lots of packs on Amazon and it seems like you could find something like this there but it might not be quite as custom with special zippers for wiring etc.

I did look at Leed's bags but I also didn't see the trunk bag. I considered the mid-frame option but not sure it will work due to the chain running down the side of the "stick."

Hadn't thought of Amazon so will take a look. Thanks for the heads-up.
