Detailed description of the embodiments:
[0010] Fig. 1 illustrates side view and top view of battery mounting assembly in a two-wheeler vehicle, according to an embodiment of the present invention. In fig. 1, a scooter 100 is shown as an example for a two-wheeler vehicle 100. The battery mounting assembly 10 comprises a fixture 12 to attach a battery 14 below an anterior end of a seat 16 of the two-wheeler vehicle 100. The fixture 12 can make use of different connectors, not limited to, screws, fasteners, brackets, etc. The fixture 12 is not shown in detail in the figures.

[0011] The fixture 12 can also be a box or a casing to house the battery 14. The fixture 12 can have a cover to close or house the battery 14. The box, the casing or the cover can have openings or vents to expose the battery 14 to air or wind for effective heat dissipation. In the example shown in figure 1, the battery can be easily attached or detached from the vehicle, as the seat 16 need not be removed/opened for the attachment/removal of the battery 14.

[0012] Figure 2 illustrates another example, where the fixture 12 mounts the battery 14 below the anterior end of the seat 16 around the engine around the engine of the two-wheeler vehicle 100. In this example, the battery 14 is in the shape of U-character. The battery 14 can be a single battery or 3-segments of the battery are joined together formed around the engine of the two-wheeler vehicle 100. This type of configuration can be used when high-capacity battery is required.

[0013] In another example, the battery 14 is mounted below the anterior end of the seat 16 of the vehicle 100 and the tip of the battery 14 goes inside the seat 16. That is, the battery 14 is mounted such that it gets extended into the seat foam. The seat 16 has to be removed to detach the battery 14. This example is shown in figure 3. In this configuration, more capacity of the battery 14 can be obtained.

[0014] The fixture 12 enables the mounting of the battery 14 below the anterior end of the seat such that the battery is effectively to the wind during riding of the two-wheeler vehicle for cooling the battery.

[0015] The fixture 12 allows mounting of the battery 14 between the legs of a rider of the two-wheeler vehicle 100. One example of such configuration is shown in figure 4. The example shows an L-shaped battery 14 mounted below the anterior end of the seat 16 of the vehicle 100. The horizontal extension of the battery16 extends towards the front end of the vehicle. The horizontal extension is mounted on the foot rest of the vehicle in the space between the legs of the rider.

[0016] Similarly another vertical extension of the battery 14 is formed at the front side of the vehicle. In figure 5, such a configuration is illustrated. As a whole, a U-shaped battery 14 is formed, which is formed below the anterior end of the seat 16, extended horizontally on foot rest and further vertically extended at the front side of the vehicle.

[0017] In this configuration, mounting of the battery 14 of higher capacity is shown. Advantageously, the mounting configuration allows effective cooling of the battery 14 as well as optimal use of the available space.

[0018] Further, a cooling duct is formed inside the front cover of the vehicle. The cooling duct is extended from the front side 22 of the vehicle towards the rear side towards the foot rest. The cooling duct has openings 18, 20 to distribute the wind that is directed from the front side 22 of the vehicle towards the battery. In fig. 5, as an example, an opening 18 is formed in the high-pressure zone and another opening 20 is formed below the steering handle. Therefore, wind which enters the front side 22 through the opening 18 in the high-pressure zone exits through the opening 20 formed in the low-pressure zone. As a result, faster and effective cooling of battery 14 is achieved. Alternately, openings can be formed in the foot rest, front cover, below the seat, etc. to blow the wind towards the battery 14. This arrangement increases the effectiveness of the heat dissipation of the battery 14 further.

[0019] As explained earlier, example of the vehicle shown as scooter. However, the examples are not limited to scooter but also includes bike, bicycle, etc. Effective cooling of the battery is achieved without complicated structure, as flow of wind in the regions shown different figures is high. Further, available space in the vehicle is used optimally.

[0020] It should be understood that embodiments explained in the description above are only illustrative and do not limit the scope of this invention. Many such embodiments and other modifications and changes in the embodiment explained in the description are envisaged. The scope of the invention is only limited by the scope of the claims.
