DeWalt 36v Batteries on cyclemotor
I noticed from the cyclemotor video that the DeWalt 36v 2.2 ah batteries slide in to what looks like a DeWalt mounting system. I am very interested in using this battery on a Nano Brompton as I believe it will give me a range of c 7 miles at significant weight saving over the standard 7ah (2.7kg) battery and the bag that is needed to carry it.
The problem that I foresee is how to mount the battery in a reliable "slide in - slide off" configuration that the battery was intended for, to enable easy charging.
I have considered buying a complete powertool (the Impact Wrench looks best) and then cutting the powertool casing and mounting it to the Brompton front luggage frame. You can get 2 batteries, a charger and the powertool for c £299 inc VAT. DeWalt claim 2,000 charging cycles for these batteries.
Has anyone tried such a conversion? Is there a better way of achieving the same thing?
