How to mount the repairable Infinite Battery on a Rad Powerbike

[oulipo]

Hi!

Since Rad Powerbike had issues with their batteries, and that their (great!) e-bikes are compatible with the Infinite Battery we made a short tutorial to show how to mount the Infinite Battery on your bike (very easy, and takes less than 10 min!)

There are many two wire batteries on the market and it is just as easy to swap.

Indeed! Ours is quite price-competitive, safe, connected and comes with safety and monitoring (humidity sensors, temperature sensors, etc)

Others would not be screw on. They would need to be soldered. I am soldering in a display now to get rid of extra wire. Then I will solder in the battery under a cover plate. The screw on system makes it easy for more people.

Despite the claim, that thin aluminum case is NOT fireproof. A burning lithium battery will melt it fairly quickly. At best, it might delay the fire spread.

If you want to sell something that would be very useful, come up with a way to mount your battery and the standard battery at the same time. Maybe under the cargo rack. Then have a wiring harness so both can be plugged in, with a switch so you can instantly select either battery, but not both.

That is why the Boston Marathon terrorist used a pressure cooker. I once long ago put a safe and sane firework purchased at a Boy Scout stand in a metal container packed with plumber's putty. With no release outlet it blew apart a concrete planter box.

You can mount multiple batteries together using a mixer indeed!

Yes, and they need to be the same batteries or you will have huge problems.
