Can you put a bottle battery on rack or pannier bag?

Hey so I have a bottle battery on my bike which I have been carrying in a frame bag. However thats starting to tear and I dont want to place it in the downtube as the steel is dented there.

Would I be able to place it on a pannier bag attached to my rear rack?

Yes you can, the wiring will need to adapted to reach the pannier.

That is where mine goes.

sweet thanks for the advice. How do you secure your battery inside the bag?

I close the bag It is an Ortlieb, I roll down the top and clip

The battery wire is protected by a spiral plastic Chinese wire protecting thingy. Usually there is another LiPo battery in there and they are connected in parallel. The LiPo battery lives in a Skip washing powder box...

Sorry, I know it sounds a bit cheeky but I can provide photos to prove that is how I carry them.

On my Boardman and Swizzbee I use a top rack bag with drop down panniers, extra batts go in the top and sides are used for tools and all other kit inc food.
