go4it is right about the Thundersky cells being too large for your OEM packs. Your packs look bigger in your photos. The dimensions of the individual Thundersky 20AH cells is 75mm x 180mm x 168mm or 2.952" x 7.0866" x 6.614." To build a 24V 20AH battery pack, you need 8 cells. It's too bad. I like the looks of your OEM packs. You could build a slightly wider and longer pack to fit where your supplemental battery is mounted. Having one 20AH LIFEPO4 pack coupled with a 14AH SLA would be a decent option.

I hold your suggestion for the 20 AH LiFePO4. I think this will be the best direction to follow ..:-)

For BIONX, maybe I'll cross the gentleman on the bike path, and I will make him the message.
I find this little thing on the internet, I will show him.





Its torque arm, can be installed from, other side ?
