Altonk,
I am using those batteries, four of them and they work well. I did have them cleanly mounted in the rear battery case but they made the bike tail heavy so I moved two of them inside the down tube with a special aluminum and Velcro fixture that protects them. I mounted the other two on top of the down tube with a acre of Velcro which moves all of my battery weight forward. This greatly enhances the bike's handling and balance. The front suspension works a lot better and I'm not continuously bottoming out the rear wheel against the rear battery case. I don't keep the rear battery case on the bike so I have a lot more rear travel. My rear shock actually works pretty well now. In general, the bike is just a bunch nicer though it just doesn't look as good with the batteries sitting on top of the down tube. I recommend that you not use the rear case to mount batteries, however convenient it may be.
Like a dork I didn't take pictures of the "trolley" I made to put the two foot long Zippys inside the down tube. I am gonna shoot a short YouTube video on my A2B for my crazyenergyprojects video series. I'll post the link here when I get it uploaded. Also, I do need to flip the bike upside down to pull the trolley to inspect for vibration wear so I will take pics then.
