    Why not just take yours apart and measure it? I did it - took about 10 minutes. I left the battery in but could put my entire arm in the spare tire well under the battery.

    Measuring a gen 4 will also work as the pan appears to be identical.

    I have pictures of the under battery area as well as a gen 4 spare tire area.

    You could contact Professor John Kelly at Weber State University and i'm sure he could help you with technical details.

    Photos of the tire recess with a yard stick above it so I'll have the scale. Add one with depth, and my problem is solved.

    I want the volume of the tire recesses so I can calculate how many 18650 (or 21700) cells I can fit in that space. There is a way to solve the problem.

    I don't have measurements, just pictures.

    Okay, a guess from looking at the pictures - a 2 foot circle, 4 inches deep.
