QuoteI looked at the cable as an interim thing to avoid cutting the OEM harness while the bike was still under warranty.

You raise a good point...that I maybe should have heeded, but what's done is done. I had some 14AWG speaker wire and some professional loudspeaker connectors in a bin (rated for 40A), and now I have sort of slick hidden battery in a Pannier bag. All-in-all, about 45 minutes of time well spent I think.

I'll definitely hit 200 mating cycles within like two months, it's a daily driver and I'm not about to leave a bike with a bag locked to a pole anywhere in NYC!

The Radmission controller is built really surprisingly well, I need to go back in at some point and re-epoxy all the waterproofing goop I scooped out, but that's a project for another weekend.

The Z215AM seems to fit the bill, it's a bummer on the 3 week shipping. I guess something we could just buy off Mouser would be way too easy - I'm impressed by the esoteric knowledge!

I think I have to look at some other connector though if this one is really only rated for 200 mating cycles, but if I'm going to chop something up might as well crack the controller open and put a suitable length of wire on so I don't have to deal with an extension and 2 additional points of failure exposed to nature.

Thanks for the knowledge!

Hello!

After a series of folks in my city getting accosted for their ebikes I'm trying to make my RadMission a little more stealth by moving the battery into a modified pannier bag (and maybe add another battery). I figure I can choose neon red or visible electric bike, but both turn too many heads if this trend continues.

I can't for the life of me figure out what the 2-pole connector Rad uses coming off the battery sled. I have no qualms chopping it off and putting on a properly rated (and IP rated) connector, but does anyone here know of anything pre-made before I go the destruction route? Every website that makes battery extensions to like XT90 just lists it as "RadPower battery connector".

Thanks!
