This one should fit but check your battery measurements to be sure.

Hey, thank you for taking the time to respond. It looks like this will fit however it's not neoprene. Do you happen to know how critical it is to have some type of insulation against cold temperatures?
I've been told that cod temps can greatly affect battery range? I plan on commuting year round & it get pretty cold here in pa.....thanks again!

I live in northeastern PA and it does indeed get cold here. I'm not much of a cold weather rider and generally don't venture out when the temp gets below freezing. In my case, the loss doesn't really affect my rides.
Battery performance does indeed drop off in cold weather. Storing & charging your battery indoors is always a good idea. The cover I mentioned isn't neoprene but it does contain a good deal of fiber filler which will provide some insulation. The performance loss you see will depend on the length of your commute and whether or not you can store & charge the battery at work.

Neoprene Ebike Battery Covers for Cold Weather
Hi guys! The subject of keeping Lithium-ion batteries insulated has come up from time to time, because cold temperatures impact how capacity is expressed and this impacts range for electric bike riders. I've got a couple of solutions to share, along with some history, but let's begin with a...

What is the temperature where you will not use your ebike because the temperature is too low or will damage your battery? I charge my battery indoor, but I keep my bicycle outside because I don't or can't hall my ebike upstairs three stories daily. I commute with my ebike 3-4 times a week. My...

Batteries are always happier at room temperature, but you can expect to lose about 20% capacity at 15F. If your battery is oversized for your trip anyway, not a big deal. The critical part is not to charge it when it's below freezing. If you have a long trip, I'd think a cover would slow the cooling but it might reach ambient temp by the end of the trip anyway. Without a heat source, the wind cools things off pretty quickly.
