Juices G2 52V battery doesn’t fit crosscurrent S2 bike

Level2

Has anyone been able to get the Juiced 52v G2 battery to fit in the Crosscurrent S2 battery rack? I can't get the power connecters to attach for it to power up the bike or stay locked in place. How did you do it? There are videos of Juiced employees showing for some models you need to hold the handle up a bit to make it fit but they never show it for the Crosscurrent S2.
 
It turns out that yes—several users have successfully installed the Juiced 52 V G2 battery into the CrossCurrent S2 battery rack, though it's a tight fit and not entirely plug‑and‑play out of the box.




✅ Real-world feedback:​


From a user on Electric Bike Review:


"If G1 worked G2 would work. Connection is the same, might need a good push the first time."

And further along:


"I did end up purchasing the G2 52 V battery and using it in my CrossCurrent S frame. It’s a tight fight but it works! It’s hard to access the power button of the battery tho… The firmware on the controller needs to be updated…"
AmazonElectric Bike Forums

Key takeaways from those reports:


  • Controller connector and voltage are compatible between CrossCurrent S2 (sold originally with 48 V or 52 V G1) and the G2 battery.
  • It physically fits very snugly—may require some pushing to seat in the rack.
  • The power button on the G2 is harder to access because of the tighter clearance in the enclosure.
  • Firmware mismatch issues: older controller/displays may lack support for features like Race mode and accurate battery percentage readouts, and will likely require a firmware update service from Juiced Bikes.

🔧 What to check or do before installing:​


  1. Confirm your current controller/display firmware version with Juiced Bikes support to verify compatibility with a 52 V G2 battery.
  2. Measure your bike’s battery cage dimensions, and compare with published dimensions for the G2 pack (typically around 426 × 84 × 140 mm) to ensure any clearance issues.

  3. Be ready for a firm push to insert due to tighter fit, and anticipate more difficult access to the G2’s power button.
  4. If firmware isn’t updated, you may lose Race mode, see incorrect battery readings, or experience other display/controller quirks unless updated.

  • Prepare for installation, possibly modifying or trimming access points if the power button is blocked.



In summary:​


Yes, you can mount a G2 52 V battery in a CrossCurrent S2 rack—and users report it's doable—but expect a snug fit, firmware compatibility concerns, and limited power‑button access. Reach out to Juiced Bikes support to verify firmware updates before proceeding.
