Awesome, i have this "EM3ev 36V (10S5P) Super Shark Ebike Battery" and charger queued up and right at that 400$ mark. Thank you so much. Any last tips before i pull the trigger?

The EM3ev Doesn't appear from illustrations that it's suitable for a Case designed for Rear rack mounting. Bottle bosses might be fine if you have the Clearance for it.

I mounted a base on my rear rack. It’s an alternative. I did chat with Unit Pack Power. I’ve been dissapointed in how our relationship unfolded but he has happy customers, my two batteries are fine. Rechie can match the case. Rebuilding a pack is not for the meek. Plenty of home builders have shorted out ,their BMS and worse. Besides paying retail price for cells, supplies, and BMS quickly becomes not much less than buying a proper pack.

With the Original case I have , my biggest obstacle is getting a pack which will slide into it. Wiring the battery pack to the connector on the case is no problem. The Controller is in a separate half which Mates with the case. I have a VOM and a Assoc. degree in electronics to help. ??
