The battery and automatic charger are located in the "cooler" on the back rack. I'm getting around 30 minutes run time before I get a hint of dimming. I'm going to make some changes to get longer run time. My commute is only 6 miles one way so the 30 minute run time works fine for that, but if I have to run errands after work, then I may be pushing against the run time before I can make it home.
