Replacing and relocating the 12V battery - think ..U0060..

[pexic]

Hello friends

Utill my friend will come and help me to remove the Enerdel defective battery I was starting to replace and relocate the 12V battery since I will need to connect/dissconect it quite often during the whole time while my Think will be restored/repaired in my garage.

I have AC so it was quite difficult to find a place for the new, smaller and only 5Kg, Lithium tithanate battery.

I found this temporarily solution :

If this location will remain the final one then I have to think for some water protection.
Thanks for reading and for future feedback.

This is where my Think has a cabin air inlet... and deep behind your battery I think I can see the cabin filter still there...
Also what is keeping the battery from lifting up when you drive thru a bump on the road?

Hello BauDemo and thank you for your feedback.

This is where my Think has a cabin air inlet... and deep behind your battery I think I can see the cabin filter still there... 

Same in my case, I don't see too much trouble to change the air filter, I have to seal the usual air inlet from the hood but I don't think this would be a problem also.

Also what is keeping the battery from lifting up when you drive thru a bump on the road?

I will be fixed, the work is in progress I just have to stop here regarding 12V battery since my first goal has been reached :  Now I can easily connect/disconnect/measure the 12V battery.
I need this feature since I'm starting to repair the Enerdel battery.

Have a nice day!

Hi,
as I am thinking of a similar solution:
why did you use 5 cells? shouldn´t 4 cells be enough?

Hi Wolfgang
It depends what kind of cells do you use.
If you choose LiFePo4 type (3.2v per cell) then 4 cella will be ok.
I use Lithium Tithanate  Oxyd cells (2,4v per cell) so I needed 5 cells .
