Title: Battery upgrade for the RadMini 4?
Post by: cmalberto on August 21, 2021, 02:45:42 PM
So I ended up getting a 25watt controller and installed last week. As I expected, my battery life decreased some. Curious if anyone here has done this and have also upgraded the battery. I am not sure if I want to stay with the 48v or increase to 52v but what I am sure of is that I would like to hone in on a 17aH battery for the longevity of rides. On the fence whether I would replace the existing battery or get an add-on too for like the bike rack. My research so far is making me look for one with a XT90 connector as I can find a Rad to XT90 conversion cable to basically make it plug and play - anyone have thoughts on doing this or advice as to what to get.

Have you looked at the DateX parallel battery combiner?  Interesting product...

Hi cmalberto, what did you end up getting? I have the same radmini4 bike and need a second battery, with  the XT90 connector. Would get this:
