Do i understand correctly that spcycle says its to go into the downtube, but there is no hole/hatchet on the bottom of the bb/dt area to access the downtube? And the seatpost is too slim to fit the battery?

Ghetto drop in the seat tube, that's what i did. i actually 3d printed a hook that i epoxied (?) on the battery so i can fish it out with a metal coat hanger, but on other frames where the battery actually fits in the seat tube, the packing tape i used gets loose and the battery ends up sliding in the seat tube as well, without a hook, so you then have to go fishing for it.
Either way, works fine. Haven't had rattling problems. I'm sure some are doing more elegant things, but i'm not elegant, and if it works, i'm happy.

That head tube area looks horrible, while the walls look pristine, it's weird. It looks so bad it makes you wonder if it could afftect headset stiffness, because i'm pretty sure given how clean the walls are, you're not supposed to have that kind of material bulging there. You'll probably want to file it down a bit to remove sharp edges, otherwise your hoses will have a very rough time, and so will you feeding them through.

Do you own this frame?
I'm asking because of the stuff mentioned earlier in this thread.

Section of cable tie forming a loop attached to the battery with 1-2 other cable ties would do it as well.

on my frame just 2 holes in down tube
