How I skinned my electric bike battery box part 3

This is the final video of the battery box fabrication. It shows soldering the internal charging connector, installation of the batteries, and installation on the bike.

The battery box started as a prototype for future boxes. It has turned out nicely and Ill use many of the design elements for future projects. This box provides security so I can leave the batteries on the bike when locked up, it looks like its part of the bike with the wires hidden and protected, charging is easy with an external charge connector, and it provides weather resistance.

@ragonamuffin Thanks. Great idea about the pop out. That would be a nice feature.

Work of art, real nice work. You ever given it a full performance yet? Meaning: Speed, distance etc?

[ElectricBikeBuilding]

@ElectricScotsman Thanks for the compliment. No performance data yet. I need to install a computer first. I'll keep you posted.

@danrasay Thanks Dan! I'm really happy with this bike. The experience gave me plenty of ideas on how to make ever better ones.

I decided on a toolbox and a mechanism to hold it in for my project.
