I've been running my electric bike with power tool batteries. These batteries go in a waterproof pannier bag that converts into a backpack. I've never had any problems with cooling, I suspect because the manufacturer spaces the cells out quite a bit. However, after 3 years, its time to let those batteries go.
I'm about to get a set of replacement batteries from Ping. Since I need to be able to rely on them on a daily basis, I want to make sure that they are both cooled and protected from water/mud/dirt properly.
I've thought about trying to find a 2-piece heatsink where one part is attached to the bag and the other glued to the battery. I would slip them together when putting the battery inside the bag. Unfortunately, I suspect that setting the bag up for this would be quite difficult.
How are people providing cooling for dense battery packs like the ones from Ping?
