Am I wrong here? Looks like the battery is in backwards! I think the ground is toward the front of the bike and the positive goes toward the back of the bike. That is if the the wires are installed correctly. I may be wrong!

I would hesitate to use one of this type in an unregulated charging situation.

Maybe someone more familier with this technology will chime in.

Google lithium battery fires.
