Since I need to stop and chain the bike up on almost all the rides I take, I was wondering whether the NiMh battery fits in a bento box. It would be a big relief to just have the extra cable and battery snug to the frame, without interfering with the cable (underside of top tube has the cable on it), and with relative ease of removal.
Any experience trying this?
If you're talking about a large sized bento box it won't fit exactly. The listed dimensions for the large sized bento box are 5x3.25x1.25. So your diagonal length is just under 6 inches. The NiMH battery is listed as 6x2x1.5 inches. I tried sticking it into the bento box and the velcro will not fasten entirely over the battery. I'd be a little concerned about the battery bouncing out of the bento box and falling as you ride over a large bump or pothole. You could of course add some velcro straps to alleviate this issue.
