I'm looking into seeing if a triangle battery case is something I can put together, and I'm probably going to be limited to using hand tools.
Features I'm looking for are:
The plan so far is:
Things I'm not sure how to go about at all:
Are there any problems you can see with the plan so far? Any tips on how to go about the features that haven't got a plan at all?
Thanks in advance!
Features I'm looking for are:
- Accommodate ~ 15kg
- Secured to frame as much as possible for public parking
- Hinged access panel with lock
- Weather resistant
- Accommodate 26650 or 32700 cells
- Power for tsdz2 motor
The plan so far is:
- Prototype the shape out of cardboard
- Cut a frame from 1.5(?)mm square aluminium tube with a hacksaw
- Join the square tubing with strips of aluminium sheet by using a rivet gun
- Cut some 1.6(?)mm aluminium sheet to the shape of the frame
- Rivet the aluminium sheet on to the square tubing frame with a rivet gun
- Seal the inside with silicone
Things I'm not sure how to go about at all:
- Constructing a hinged panel, and making sure it doesn't rattle from vibration
- Adding a lock to the hinged panel, and making sure it doesn't rattle / come loose from vibration
- Water sealing the hinged panel
- Attaching the case to the frame so that it's at least difficult for potential thieves to remove
Are there any problems you can see with the plan so far? Any tips on how to go about the features that haven't got a plan at all?
Thanks in advance!
