This page is part of the ONYX Battery Guide
This guide covers AMORGE battery options for ONYX RCR and CTY2 platforms, including 60V CTY2 batteries and RCR configurations from 72V through 96V.
Battery Buying Recommendations
| Bike / Use Case | Recommendation | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| RCR stock replacement | ONYX Motors battery | Direct 72V replacement with ONYX support |
| RCR performance build | AMORGE | 72V through 96V performance and custom configurations |
| CTY2 | AMORGE | 60V direct-fit, performance, and custom battery options |
ONYX Motors is the straightforward choice for direct 72V or 80V RCR replacement batteries with ONYX support. Choose AMORGE for heavily modified, high-performance RCR or CTY2 builds using larger motors, higher-power controllers, higher current, or higher voltage. For JAWS MODE and SICKO MODE builds, plan around the final battery and performance target from the start rather than buying twice.
For AMORGE builds, I recommend Great Power 60Q, Reliance RS50, or EVE 50PL cells. The Samsung 50S is a more affordable option for lower-cost builds where maximum performance is not the priority. For specifications and comparisons, see the ONYX Battery Cells: Tabless 21700 Performance Guide.
Included With AMORGE Batteries
AMORGE batteries ship as complete, ready-to-install packs with the required discharge connector, charging lead, and charger.
| Platform | Discharge Connector | Charging Lead | Included Charger |
|---|---|---|---|
| ONYX 72V RCR | Single or dual QS8/9/10 with 6 AWG cable | XT60 | 5A XT60 charger |
| ONYX 60V CTY2 | Single QS8 with 6 AWG cable | XT90 | 5A XT90 charger |
AMORGE Battery Construction
AMORGE battery packs use a stainless steel enclosure and components designed for high-current applications, protection, and monitoring.
| Feature | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Stainless steel case | Structural protection and durability |
| Reinforced bus bars | Improved high-current distribution |
| Heavy-gauge wiring | Reduced electrical resistance |
| High-temperature insulation | Thermal protection under heavy load |
| Vibration-resistant mounting | Reduced mechanical stress and fatigue |
| ANT Smart BMS | Battery protection, monitoring, and Bluetooth telemetry |
Battery Voltage and Pack Configuration
ONYX battery packs use cells arranged in series (S) and parallel (P) groups. Series determines pack voltage, while parallel determines capacity and available current.
CTY2 batteries use 17S configurations with different parallel counts for capacity and current capability. RCR batteries are available in multiple series and parallel configurations depending on voltage, battery height, capacity, and performance requirements.
| Platform | Voltage Range | Configurations | Application | Controller / Motor |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CTY2 | 60V | 17S5P - 17S8P | Stock replacement through performance builds | Stock, Kelly, FarDriver, or Moxin / Stock, V4 260, or V4 273 |
| RCR | 72V | 20S9P - 20S10P | Stock replacement through performance builds | Stock, Kelly, FarDriver, or Moxin / Stock, V4 260, or V4 273 |
| RCR | 81.4V - 96V | 22S9P - 26S7P | Higher-voltage performance builds | FarDriver or Moxin / V4 260 or V4 273 |
Increasing the series count raises battery voltage, allowing the motor to maintain torque at higher RPM before back-EMF limits current. Higher voltage can provide higher top-speed potential, stronger acceleration at higher speeds, and more effective field weakening.
FarDriver and Moxin controllers are commonly used for higher-voltage ONYX builds where the stock controller is no longer appropriate. The controller and other voltage-sensitive electrical hardware must be compatible with the battery voltage being used.
AMORGE lists the 23S configuration at 85.1V. This configuration is also commonly referred to as an 84V build. This guide uses 85.1V in the specifications and battery tables to match AMORGE’s listed voltage.
RCR Battery Height and Fitment
RCR batteries are available in 7 inch and 8 inch heights across v1, v1.2, v1.5, and v1.75 (LTD) bikes. Battery height determines whether the stock wood battery cover can be retained.
| Battery Height | Battery Cover Fitment |
|---|---|
| 7 inch | Fits under the stock wood battery cover |
| 8 inch | Requires a taller aftermarket battery cover |
The battery tables below identify the required battery-cover fitment for each RCR configuration.
Prices below are reference battery prices and may change based on cell pricing, availability, shipping, and configuration. Listed prices do not include shipping unless otherwise noted. Confirm current pricing and specifications with AMORGE before ordering.
