Yes @DD, you can just disconnect the wire and pop a AXS battery on there.
And no, the SX motor does not rattle, and interestngly, neither does the newly updated CX motor that I tested in Merida’s new e180.

Not sure you can just simply pop an AXS battery into those direct-wired units?

Curious whether or not the Bosch “clacking/rattling” while coasting downhill is a thing with the new lower-powered SX motor?
