Battery Pack mounting |
Where to stash your battery packs for
handlebar mounted lights is sometimes an
issue.
Helmet mounted lights are not so much of a
problem.
You can usually stash the battery in your
Camel back pack or stick it in your jersey
pocket.
Here's a couple ways that I stash my handlebar
battery packs.
I have also seen seat post mounted battery
packs on some commercial lights.

The 4x18650 flat pack shown above Left gets
stashed in a jersey pocket or my Camel back.
The 4x18650 square pack shown in the middle
can go in a Camel back or into the green
Hammer gel flask holder
The Hammer gel flask holder has large Velcro
straps that can clamp to the top tube.
The 6x18650 pack on the right is inside a
chopped down Hammer gel bottle. |

This shot shows a 18650 battery pack
inside a chopped up water bottle.
The white bottle is a Hammer gel bottle. It is
the perfect size to fit inside the blue water
bottle.
I made a foam surround piece that fits inside
the water bottle and keeps the battery pack
from banging around.
The bottom of the water bottle has a small
round foam piece that the battery pack sits
on.
I also have a foam cap that goes on top of the
battery pack and keeps the mud from coming
inside the opening and getting on the battery
pack.
On the outside of the blue water bottle you
can see a Velcro band that is stuck to the
bottle.
This lets me wrap another piece of Velcro
around the bottle cage to make sure the blue
bottle does not fly out of the water bottle
cage.
