Rear rack bag to carry Yamaha battery?

Does anyone know of a good rear rack mounted bag that would carry a spare battery?
I have a Topeak bag/pannier which is excellent but not long enough for my Yamaha battery.
 
Hey Rob! I slightly revised the title to hopefully get a little more help with your question.
 
The panniers on my Bontrager tail bag are also too small to hold my Pedego battery. I like the Bontrager bag and use it on all my bikes. Rather than replace it, I bought a set of saddlebags which are large enough to hold my 14" x 7" x 3" Pedego battery.

I chose Pedego since it's the bike brand I ride but there are many others out there large enough to carry a battery.

I have it rigged so I can use the Bontrager bag and the saddlebags at the same time.

I have a Giant Road-E with Yamaha motor. The Arkel tail rider trunk works well for carrying a spare 500 watt battery for the Yamaha motor. Fits perfectly.

Regarding the Brooks saddle; This is my second one and it is by far the most comfortable seat I have ever used.

I can spend 12 hours a day in the saddle day after day and not feel any pain or discomfort. Since riding on a Brooks, I have given up using padded shorts. There is no need for the pad. A lot cooler without.

I am also looking for a trunk bag for 500wH yamaha battery - that Arkel looks good, but I don't like the way it attaches to the rack just with velcro straps. Anybody else have ideas?
