I guess you have a dial-up modem? Anyway, in the video, the 12v12a/h is placed
exactly where I intend to install it, and I rotate the pedals to demonstrate that I have clearance.
This is a Trek 720
Ladies frame, so there is only ONE set of bottle cage bosses. I think I will have to use longer screws to mount the Bottle Cage, to reach through the Fiberglass.
I really want to see how it works with the weight of the battery placed so low. Also, I think I can mount some kind of Chain-Guard to the side of the Battery Box.
Thanks for your suggestion, I assume you mean a Nickel Cadmium battery, like the Night-Sun system?
I have built a mock-up of the battery box using foam board, and I will wrap it in Epoxy Fiberglass soon.
