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.
let me try 2 more photos one at a time... ugg
The rest of the photo's won't post, but you get the jist. My plan is to have a Burley Trailer, a Felxible Solar Pannel, and a power converter in the trailer...
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.
