Dave, I tried some battery combinations in the Honda bike I have here. Just some test fittings. If you go back above, and look at IMG6656, the side view of the Honda. you can see the space below the battery in front of the motor, I can fit a 6 cell by 8 cell pack in there. Then I made another pack to go with that of a 8 cell by 14 cells. This would be the bottom pack, these 2 together, 6 x 8, and 14 x 8 for a 20S8P lower pack. Now the top pack would be a different shape but also 20S8P, but 2 rows of 10S8P side by side. Here is a sketch of the two packs. The top pack we would need to test the shape to see if it fits (7"wide, and 7.5" front to back, and 9 tall. We can come up with different shapes. (IMG 7293)
I have made a lot of batteries, but now I prefer having them built by Amorge. There is a lot of labor in building batteries, and the cases that Amorge makes are really a work of art, solid and watertight. But in building a battery, you want the cell groups to line up next to each other, or it gets real complex. Here is a pic of a battery I make for KX80-100 conversions. You can see the straight cell groups and then the weird shape cell groups. Those make it more complex. This is our fusible link battery packs that we make. (IMG5791)
Anyway just some ideas. Here are a couple more pics of the test fittings on this Honda.
