my RadRunner Plus - PLUS

[joeliniowa]

I just finished adding a second 17.5 amp 48v battery to my RR+ using a DATEX3 system balancer from Big Game Bikes .com  I mounted the battery on two water bottle posts and added a closed foam washer towards the top of the mount.   The wiring is all terminated with XT60 connectors on the DATEX.  I got adapter cables from BGB.com.  The DATEX-3 will allow me to add a 3rd battery.  I plan to have a Burley Trailer, Flexible Solar Panel, and a power converter in the trailer.   Then I can GO & GO, worry-free...

Now I just need the IOWA tundra season to subside for a few days.

Clever location for the DATEX3, and the capped blanks were an excellent idea.

Nice! Looks like you did a great job! I was considering mounting my 2nd battery to the water bottle bosses but felt that it might be a bit insecure but it looks like you were able to manage.

Keep us posted when you decide to add that 3rd battery or the solar panels!

I printed those caps with TPU, it was a bit porus at the few layers.  I used the "liquid rubber" product.  Painting it on the ends of the covers.  No problems in 6 months.
