Will the battery fit the space? Measure first lah

“Roughly this big” is how u end up with a battery that fits until the lid goes on. Measure the usable space, including the bits in the way.

Measure the space u can actually use

Wah lau this one ah, measure length, width and height in millimetres. Keep the battery closed; we’re measuring the space around it, not dismantling the pack.

  • Mounting: include the rail, brackets and fixing holes.
  • Access: allow for the lid, lock and the movement needed to remove the battery.
  • Cables: show where the cable and connector need room.
  • Odd shapes: measure each step or narrow section separately.

One wide photo, then the close-up drama

Steady lah, take a wide view so we know where we’re looking. Then get close enough for the ruler marks to show, or everyone just guessing only.

Aiyo bro, T-shaped or stepped compartment then draw one simple sketch and mark each section. No need win design award; just make clear which number belongs to which edge.

Don’t play play, if the old battery is already safely removed, photograph it beside the space. Show the rail and connector end too. Don’t remove or handle a damaged pack just to make this photo.

Cannot reach that corner? Say so

Wah lau, missing measurement better than anyhow whack one. Tell us what u couldn’t measure and send the clearest view available.

Easy one, add the bike model, battery label and connector photos. We’ll start with those before u order.
