You mean that if you added the 7 leaf batteries to the stock battery range would double right?
Is there some kind of book or web site that will educate me on best battery layouts, like series and parallel and also battery management systems and chargers?

The 7 LEAF modules have double the capacity of the stock X battery. If you install them as a parallel string then range would (roughly) triple.

Take a look at http://batteryuniversity.com, http://elmoto.net, and http://endless-sphere.com/forums/ for more reading material..

But I'm not talking about a zero "x" motorcycle. that was just a video I posted as an example.
the "x" battery is half the capaicty of a 2010ds

I am tallking about a zero ds 2010 which has a 60amh battery at 48v which is the same as 7 leaf batteries that are 60amh each  (7 packs in series x 7.2 volts each) gives about 48 volts.

you can fit about 11 of these leaf batteries into the exsisting space the zero battery room takes up. If you removed the charger below, you could probably fit another 3 for a total of fourteen giving you 120amh and thus doubling the range.

I am looking at converting my 2011 S to Nissan Leaf modules. Looks like you could fit 7 modules in the original Zero battery box, as seen in this post here http://electricmotorcycleforum.com/boards/index.php?topic=4498.0
From my rough calcs I think you could possibly even fit 8 in the stock Zero battery box. If you remove the delta charger and make a custom battery box then you could fit 11 modules. You could then fit 3 on top under a custom made 'tank' to make up a 14 Leaf module battery, which should get you a range of over 100km.
If you have a big enough 'tank' then you could fit 4 modules up top and then 10 in the battery box, giving room in the box for an onboard charger from Meanwell RSP power supplies.
